Tax and fiscal penal liability of management board members and corporate finance officers
18.01.2023 | 10.00-13.00
Tax and fiscal penal laws provide for separate grounds for the liability of management board members and corporate finance officers. At the same time, the consequences of incurring liability in both cases can be absolutely far-reaching.
Management board members may be liable for the tax debts of the companies they represent. If the tax turns out to have been underpaid during their function as a management board member and enforcement against the company turns out to be ineffective – then tax authorities may issue a decision that it is the member of the management board who has to pay this arrears. The position of tax authorities and courts with regard to these laws is very restrictive and it is difficult to demonstrate prerequisites excluding this liability.
On the other hand, all finance officers (including members of the management board) face the risk of incurring additional (personal) fiscal penal liability regarding irregularities in tax settlements. Yet again, it is becoming increasingly difficult to limit the risk of incurring this liability (e.g. due to changes in the scope of voluntary disclosure).
The workshop will discuss the main differences regarding tax and fiscal penal liability of individuals. We will indicate which company representatives are subject to which type of liability and the prerequisites for incurring these liabilities.
Recent practice of tax authorities in this respect will be presented. We will draw attention to favourable rulings of administrative courts regarding the impossibility of incurring tax liability. We will discuss the areas that most often lead to incurring fiscal penal liability.
The workshop will also discuss ways to reduce the risk of fiscal penal and tax liability. We will also highlight planned amendments to the law that may have significant implications for the scope and risk of incurring liability in the future.
