Even more than 50 years after the Withholding Tax Act (VStG) came into force, withholding tax continues to raise numerous questions regarding both its collection and refund. Furthermore, audits by the Federal Tax Administration increasingly focus on transfer pricing: financial transactions in this area entail significant costs and administrative burdens, especially since, as a rule, only partial refunds are possible based on a double taxation agreement.
This seminar addresses current practices regarding withholding tax. Existing knowledge is refreshed and deepened through practical case studies. Current practices are highlighted for both collection and refund procedures, with the criminal law component—which should not be underestimated—also integrated.
The speakers have strong ties to the field and demonstrate extensive expertise in withholding tax.
