Judicial enforcement of claims for damages against tax advisors due to incorrect advice in connection with the acquisition of GmbH shares via a holding company (Cologne Regional Court)

Successful enforcement of claims for damages arising from incorrect advice from a tax advisor in connection with the transfer of shares in a partnership limited by shares. The tax consultant had negligently failed to recognise that the sale of a partnership limited by shares interest would trigger trade tax for the company. As trade tax is an annual tax, a provision in the corresponding amount should also have been recognised for the trade tax liability. The error only became apparent years later and led to a considerable amount of interest on arrears.
