Artworks in taxation law
“Art as an asset class” has developed rapidly in recent years. Driven by investment pressure and the search for appropriate solutions for private capital, diverse types of artwork have come increasingly into focus for not just ambitious collectors. The special treatment of art has also played a not inconsiderable role in this.
In the meantime unique opportunities are available when art is incorporated specifically and prudently into the planning of individual wealth generation.
Rules relating to art range over the entire breadth of German (and international) taxation law: specific characteristics reach from value-added tax to capital gains taxes to gift and inheritance tax.
The fascination of art therefore radiates into tax law.
We advise national and international clients in the tax-efficient investment in art. At the centre is often the acquisition as well as the administration of private art collections with a view to the generation succession. Additionally, in recent years advising opportunistic investors in respect of business and fiscal law has increased.
