𝗛𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗺-𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗲𝗸𝗼𝗺𝘀𝘁   Wat zijn de gevolgen van de Didam-arresten? Dat hebben onze vastgoedjuristen gisteren besproken tijdens de expertsessie 'Het Didam-arrest en de toekomst'.   Jildau Yilmaz leidde de expertsessie in met een samenvatting van Didam I en Didam II en de daaruit voortvloeiende rechtsregels. Alexander IJkelenstam besteedde daarna aandacht aan de doorwerking van algemene beginselen van behoorlijk bestuur in het privaatrecht zoals in de Didam-arresten uitdrukkelijk is erkend. Karim Achtioui lichtte vervolgens de praktijk na het Didam-arrest toe aan de hand van jurisprudentie. Chantal Martens sloot af met een bespreking van de invloed van de Didam-arresten op het #huurrecht. De expertsessie was de eerste van de Leergang Aanbestedingsrecht 2024-2025.

Ben ik niet te #bescheiden om Zuidas-advocaat te zijn? Het antwoord is waarschijnlijk nee. Bij CMS kennen we de persoonlijke vragen van juristen, zoals Luisa Welling de Arruda. Luisa vertelt over de goede werksfeer en de verschillende mensen die werken bij CMS. “Er is bij ons op de sectie een hele goede mix van #assertieve maar ook juist meer #introverte mensen. Iedereen kan echt zijn wie hij of zij is.” Lijkt het jou ook leuk om te werken bij een internationaal kantoor met een Nederlands karakter? Misschien is CMS dan wel wat voor jou.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 Starting 1 January 2025, new qualification rules will apply for determining the Dutch tax status of foreign legal forms. Under these new rules, Dutch limited partnerships (CVs) and foreign limited partnerships (LPs) will generally be classified as transparent for Dutch tax purposes, unless they also qualify as a fund for joint account (FGR) in which case the FGR qualification rules take precedence over the general classification rules (priority rule). It is crucial for investment CVs and LPs to understand these changes and take necessary actions to ensure compliance and maintain their desired tax classification status. 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝟭 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 CVs and LPs currently treated as tax-transparent and that qualify as 'investment funds' may transition to a non-transparent FGR status from January 1, 2025. A one-year transition period is available for these entities to make the necessary changes to their fund documentation to meet the conditions required for a qualification as a redemption fund to maintain tax transparency. In this publication we provide recommendations to maintain tax transparency.
