Monetary benefits have to be assessed differently with regard to the time of taxation and the possibilities of cure for profit tax, income tax and withholding tax and for the taxpayer involved. Furthermore, complex procedural questions arise. Discuss current issues on the basis of practical cases with representatives from consulting, tax administration and courts.
