Introduction This presentation focuses first on the legislative aspects of economic substance in Belgian tax law, mainly direct (income) tax rather than indirect tax (such as VAT). Next, we highlight those rare provisions in the tax code that embody the Belgian legislature's desire to align tax treatment with economic substance, the most salient being those pertaining to financial leasing operations. We then provide a brief overview of the anti-abuse provisions in the tax law that allow the authorities to disregard the form of certain legal structures or constructions and levy tax in accordance with the substance of a transaction. After this brief report on economic substance, we summarize a number of landmark cases dealing with the issue of substance over form.

Insbesondere Transaktionen im Bereich Pharma/LiFe Science und High-Tech nahmen in den vergangen drei Jahren zu. ° Betrachtet man die Standorte der deutschen Zielunternehmen, stellt man Fest, dass Fast zwei Drittel ihren Hauptsitz in Nordrhein-WestFalen, Baden-Württemberg oder Bayern hatten. In den übrigen Bundesländern kam es nur vereinzelt zu Übernahmen chinesischer Investoren. ° Die Analyse der chinesischen Investoren ergab, dass Fast die zwei Drittel ihren Hauptsitz in Beijing, der Provinz Zhejiang (Süd-Osten), Hongkong oder Shanghai haben. Typischerweise lässt sich eine höhere Konzentration entlang der chinesischen Ostküste erkennen. ° Bis 2010 waren chinesische Akquisitionen deutscher Unternehmen eher eine Seltenheit.

    INSTITUTIONAL LEGACIES AND FIRM DYNAMICS THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF BRITISH AND GERMAN LAW FIRMS Glenn Morgan and Sigrid Quack CSGR Working Paper No 169/05 May 2005 1 Institutional legacies and firm dynamics The internationalisation of British and German law firms Glenn Morgan1 and Sigrid Quack2 CSGR Working Paper No. 169/05 May 2005 Introduction3 Institutionalist approaches to the study of the firm which emerged in the last two decades have tended to be dominated by static models of both firms and institutions. As a form of ‘equilibrium’ analysis which holds factors constant in order to allow a deeper understanding of how they are interdependent and complementary, this approach has yielded rich dividends in contributing to our understanding of how firms within different national business systems are structured and the effect which this has on their ability to compete in international markets. More recently, however, debates have moved on to consider firms, not just as passive recipients of institutional resources but as actors involved both in the construction and reconstruction of such resources within national contexts and in the selective learning and adaptation of overseas experiences into their own structures. This reflects a deepening integration of economic activities, organisational structures and markets across borders reinforced by a restructuring of regulatory activities away from the monopolistic dominance of the nation-state and the public arena towards a more diffuse and diverse set of regulatory activities and actors operating across states and across the public-private divide. Attempts to conceptualize these processes at a macro-level have traditionally been dominated by the ‘convergence- divergence’ debate, more recently wrapped up in the discourse of ‘globalization’ as an ineluctable force undermining national differences and increasing shared and common models of firms and markets.
