decision of the Constitutional Court on the tax account of the costs of a study Press Release No. 55/2010 of 29 July 2010
order of 6 July 2010 - 2 BvL 13/09 -
________________________________________ revision of the tax account of a home office unconstitutional ________________________________________
With the Finance Act 1996 § 4 para 5 sentence 1 no restricted 6b the tax recognition of expenses for business purposes only used for home offices as business expenses or business expenses for the first time. A exception to the principle regulated prohibition on the deduction of such expenses was then when the commercial or professional use of the study was more than 50% of all operational and professional activities or for operational or occupation no other workplace was available. A unlimited deduction was also only allowed when the center for all operational and formed professional activity. The Federal Constitutional Court in its ruling of 7 December 1999 (BVerfGE 101, 297) the constitutionality of this restriction in the affirmative.
With the Tax Amendment Act 2007 limited the deduction further . § 4 paragraph 5, sentence 1, No. 6b allows the deduction of expenses for a home office and the cost of facilities only if the work is the focus of all operational and training activities. The plaintiff in the the case, the self-employed as secondary school teachers is used it daily for two hours exclusively used for business purposes home office. The registration of the assignment of a job at school was the preparation and evaluation of teaching been rejected by the school. The tax office made by the applicant in his income tax return for 2007 claimed expenses for domestic work ignored. The therefore, against a Tax Court action brought for the presentation of the financial court.
The Second Division of the Federal Constitutional Court by a majority vote of 5:3 decided that the new rules in § 4 Paragraph 5, sentence 1 fails No. 6b, contrary to the principle of equality, where the are expenses for a home office also excluded from the tax considered if the company or professional activity no other workplace is available. The legislature is required thereafter, retroactive to 1 January 2007 revision of § 4 remove 5 sentence 1 No. 6b the Income Tax Act unconstitutional condition. The courts and administrative authorities may apply the provision in the magnitude of the identified incompatibility with the Constitution no longer running process should be suspended.
the decision is essentially based on the following considerations:
The general principle of equality requires the income tax legislation oriented towards financial capacity sufficient logical design of its exposure decisions. The calculated load for the equality in income tax law substantial financial capacity, inter alia, to the objective net principle. After that are operationally or professionally led expenses as business expenses or business expenses from the base removable. Detrimental exceptions to this basic decision burden of income tax legislation require a particular objective reason to meet the requirements of general principle of equality. This is not the
here. The procedure mentioned in the legislative fiscal reasons are not sufficient to justify the new rules before the general principle of equality. The aim of revenue increase is, in itself not a sufficient factual basis for exceptions to a logical design income tax law burden decisions dar. For the purpose of the revenue increase is each, even an arbitrary tax burden.
missed Moreover, the new rules the requirement of a sufficiently reality-oriented typing, as far as charges for domestic work are not taken into account if the company or professional activity no other workplace is available. Because of the lack of an alternative workplace, can be demonstrated by presenting a certificate from the employer without further, an easily verifiable factual basis provides for a finding of actual operational or business use and therefore the possibility of stereotyping definition of gainful and privacy. However, the identification and determination of the after deduction of the new rules ban excluded cost of a study that the "qualitative" "center" of the entire company is or profession, clearly consuming and prone to dispute. In terms of the objectives of the law - simplification, dispute avoidance and uniformity of taxation - , the deduction prohibition as far as the group of cases, "no other work" is concerned, the requirements of a realistic fair therefore not just typing.
Over extension of the constitutional review decided the Federal Constitutional Court, however, that the extension of the ban should deduction of the general Violation of equality, insofar as these are now also expenses for a home office recorded, which is more than 50% of the total operating or professional activity exclusively used for business or professional . The extent of usage of the study is at best a weak indicator of the need if the taxpayer from his employer found another job is available . It also lacks easily verifiable objective evidence for the control of information from the taxpayer to the extent of time use of the study.
unconstitutional removal of a partner from a society
found in many social contracts are clauses that govern the resignation of a member of a society. This may be the case if a partner is being excluded from a society or if you do not want instead of following legitimate heirs inherited the Share will receive a severance payment. As regards the amount of the then payable by the Company to severance pay include most of association rules designed to avoid a confrontation over the disputed amount of the settlement. In many cases, the value of compensation for the so-called Stuttgart method is determined, however, is often only the book value of equity as the value set for the settlement. In other cases, the value is to be determined under a management accounting principles and to obtain its business valuation. Is in these cases, the value of the settlement on the lower level (comparable market value), then according to the prevailing opinion in the civil law and tax law and literature is not probable that a gift made when a shareholder because of a distinction to each one of the partner company contract control of the company by the agreed severance pay and not the market value of the shareholding meets. Because of the 31 December 2008 applicable to inheritance tax and gift tax rules triggered a such compensation no inheritance tax or gift tax burden from where the value did not remain below the value for the so-called Stuttgart method. Under the new law of inheritance tax and the 31 now to be taken into account as a tax value of the value of a retirement December 2008, however, can lead to a significant tax burden. If a partner no matter what reason the company and receives a severance payment under sub-value, are the difference between the value of compensation and the value as part of inheritance or gift tax enrichment of the remaining shareholders or the company. It is therefore necessary to adapt the company contracts to the effect that to avoid the inheritance or gift tax, the severance clauses adapted to the new system will have. The then generally incompatible higher severance payments often do not lead to a liquidity problem for the portable company whose adverse consequences could be possibly reduced by a repayment clause. In addition, can be thought of clauses that provide for a possible inheritance or Schenkungssteuertragungslast.
Instead of Covers (or in this case, movie posters) we thought that we would prefer a nice photo of Salma Hayek aka Carolina from the movie "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" (German title: at some point Mexico).
The song called "Mariachi" and "La canción del Mariachi" existed before the movie and has been interpreted, among others, "Los Lobos". But here the film version of Antonio Banderas
Lyrics: Soy un hombre

, me gusta cantar el sol Mariachi me acompana, quando canto my cancion Me gustan tomar mis copas it aguardiente lo mejor la tequilla blanca Tanbi , con cu sal le da sabor
Despite or perhaps because of the World Cup, we find that it is time to change things here. The first and most important change is to post more often. It's about music! The other changes you notice only if you can be considered regular readers - among - rather ordinary listeners. If not, you will not notice any difference at all. What is important is not on. pleasure it is to you here, forgotten and lost songs again for you to find. your heart will be touched.

When I woke up this morning I was feelin' fine But this cat starts banging man what a swine. So I called reception but to no avail That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale. I went bang - I said shut up, I went bang - I said rap up. Well I'm aware that the guy must do his work But the piledriver man drove me berserk.
He said captain, I said wot, He said captain, I said wot, He said captain, I said wot, He said captain, I said wot d'ya want
Once a lifetime, twice a day If you don't work you get no pay. I been to the east, I been to the west, But the girls I like best are the ones undressed. Well, hello Adam, where you been? I said a'stand aside 'cause I'm feelin' mean, I've had a gutful of you and I'm feelin' bad 'Cause you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad.
He said captain, I said wot, ... He said captain, I said wot, ...

lyrics / The Different Story Lyrics:
I'm so lonely on my way, Waiting for a better day. Only one thing left behind: A world of lust and crime. There's no place
for me to hide. I do not know what's wrong or right. Pain and sorrow in my mind; A world of lust and crime.
See the wise man in the graveyard; Scream and cry the different story. Lonely people in his old park Know the answer just for everything.
Love turns a friendly card. With a different story it'll open your heart. Forever love is a dangerous game. You don't have to worry 'cause it's easy to play.
There's a chance for me and you, Making all our dreams come true. Trust enough and you won't find A world of lust and crime.
See the wise man in the graveyard; Scream and cry the different story. Lonely people in his old park Know the answer just for everything.
Love turns a friendly card. With a different story it'll open your heart. Forever love is a dangerous game. You don't have to worry 'cause it's easy to play.
See the wise man in the graveyard; Scream and cry the different story. Lonely people in his old park Know the light of hope and glory.

This world is in trouble We got to find a way To come together And make a better way I can't understand this No
Troubled the world There's no time for children And their hearts Just look at their eyes Can't you see you're tearing Them apart So I ask you believe us Don't waste any time Let's stay together and Save our world
I just can't understand this Why it's so hard To take each other by the hand and And say that I love you Like a believer We can't let this go No more war No more war no more war Just say that I love you
