»Destruction and Loss in Value of Private Assets as a Loss on Disposal«: Gains and losses on disposal of private assets are subject to taxation if the requirements of § 17, § 20 (2) or § 23 of the Income Tax Act are met. According to the recent jurisdiction of the Federal Fiscal Court, § 20 (2) also taxes the loss in value of a share. Due to this development, the thesis examines whether the loss in value or destruction of private assets – for example the burning of a painting – results in a taxable loss.weiterlesen
