Laws repair expenses for landlords

Income Tax: Even with the forthcoming Finance Act of the Ministry will respond to a recently announced decision of the Constitutional Court.

Print Send Text Size AAA pinboard Comment From the Archive: Tax Lesson for the coalition (11/21/2010) From the Economics and Business Administration of the Constitutional Court (11/14/2010) Constitutional Court: foundations pay little tax on real estate (15.10.2010) charged with tax losses: Supreme Court reviewed Suspension (25/04/2010) Vienna. The Ministry of Finance selects the tax allowance for large expenditures by landlords a relatively small solution. Even with the forthcoming Finance Act of the ministry intends to respond to a recently announced decision of the Constitutional Court (G35/10, right panorama from November 22). The Constitutional Court has the current ban on carrying forward of losses other than business income, effective on December 31, 2011 as irrelevant and thus repealed equal unconstitutional. If the coalition tomorrow brings the Finance Act as a government bill on the way, but it is not open to losses carried forward for rental and leasing, but create a different way to distribute high expenses of a period over a longer period of time. Owners who have demolition costs in one year high "negative income" can divide these costs in the future such as for repair and maintenance work (according to § 28 Income Tax Act) to ten years.



Non-earned money taxed
The reason for the Constitutional Court decision was a taxpayer, who had suffered because of the cost of a house demolition in a year's heavy losses from rental and leasing, could compensate for this small but only in part with revenue of that year. In subsequent years, they had to pay taxes for an income, she has achieved not expecting for a long time. For the Income Tax Act includes (in § 18 / 6) from a loss carried forward at the off-the types of income, in addition to the income from renting and leasing those from self-employment, investment income and "other income".

The Constitutional Court has marked his decision in the now proposed solution to the already unconstitutional. It noted, namely, that § 28 of the Income Tax Act in its current form "for income from rental and lease contains a sufficiently adapted to the system of losses. Only if this were the case, but the doubts were gone in check drawn against the norm. "

Especially in relation to the demolition costs, the proposed solution is not so objectionable. The loss brought forward would be compared to the distribution the more flexible instrument: it is not time-limited (except for cash-based computers: you have only three years), and depending on the amount of income, the losses each year are recycled in different amounts ( to the limit of 75% of the revenues, so in any case remain 25% tax).

By the legislature should leave the carry-forward, he avoids it to open the Pandora's box. He would have to lay down generally, the conditions under which non-operating losses in the types of income are carried forward.

Jochen Gipp 4th December 2010, 06:00 clock A chain of the Carlsberg brewery draws with system-catering in vacant premises

Harburg. "This is not a good Christmas present for us," says the restaurateur Harburg Heiko Hornbacher, 47, "I did not get the lease for the private brewery Engelbräu Harburg. It had been my dream to brew beer itself." Perhaps he had in the negotiations with the owner and landlord of the commercial building Lüneburg score 9-13, Horst Sobottka, hesitated too long, or was simply too cautious, that at the risk of such a large food acquisition, perhaps assessed the financial risk too high.

A sought-after location, "We were almost unanimous," said Horst Sobottka, "but last week, I had to bring myself simply to a new decision, because a prospective tenant had come who wants to meet the required conditions in full. Meanwhile, the contract signed. and is expected in March next year, the door of the former brewery, the name "O'Leary." With another term "Bar & Restaurant Since 1988" emblazoned or "The No. A sports bar. "

That does not Sobottka where tenants could say no to develop understanding. O'Leary lies behind concentrated Scandinavian entrepreneurship: The Danish brewer Carlsberg, which includes in Hamburg Holsten / Astra. O'Leary is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and operates successfully in Scandinavia, 62 sports bars, two sports bars in Spain and two in Singapore. Concept: A cozy atmosphere, good food and drink. And important of any seat with an unobstructed view to a transfer screen sporting events. Before the O'Leary opened in March in Harburg, Germany will present the first O'Learys sports bar in February in Lüneburg, Schrangenstraße1, where previously the restaurant chain gave "October" operation.

As likely as Carlsberg beer supplier uses its own sources of production, the brewery in Harburg is installed on its brewing technique can probably do without. And from the competent for the German market O'Leary franchisees is to hear that further use of the brewing equipment is not the last word has fallen.

Perhaps under the auspices of Carlsberg Engelbräu be tapped again in the future in Harburg. The food Konstantinos Englezos Harburg and his brewmaster Günther Fügert had operated the brewery from 2006 until earlier this year - in the early days with success, finally decreasing so landlords Horst Sobottka his words after "the notice had to say." As a result, tried to take over Heiko Hornbacher, the brewery.

Horst Sobottka added to the rental of its office building built in 1977, he modernized in 2003 and from three to five storeys plus penthouse level could increase, not yet had the full success. On several floors - a total of 7500 square meters of floor space - are still areas that were previously not once rented. Sobottka: "My original plan envisaged a hotel operator to rent, but negotiations with a hotel chain burst just before signing the contract.."

Now he is in the second floor of the Barmer-Gmünder replacement fund and the Arag insurance to rent the fourth floor and in the Württemberg insurance. But as much as he is happy to have found a strong O'Leary tenant for part of the ground floor, he has made on the other side of the ground floor the new vacancy.

The cafe gentleman is extended, the interior is out. And to hear what is, is probably the "Dance Show 1900" will soon leave the house. What says Horst Sobottka? "Oh, I could write a thick book on the tenant and the payment performance. But I would rather save myself."
