This Decision outlines provisions for tax relief on transfers of assets and liabilities within a Qualifying Group, as per Article 26 of the Corporate Tax Law. The Transferor can elect for no gain or loss to be recognised, provided certain conditions are met. The Decision defines 'ownership interest' for this purpose and details the 'clawback' provision, which triggers a tax charge if the Transferor or Transferee subsequently cease to be members of the same Qualifying Group, or if the asset or liability is transferred outside the group, reversing the initial tax relief.
