Company Information
Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - August 4, 2011 - asknet AG, a leading supplier of
global eCommerce solutions for software and digital media companies, published
information about the tax authorities issuing a notice of interest charges in
its press release from July 20, 2011 and in accordance with a judgment of the
European Court applied for a suspension of execution on July 22, 2011.
The responsible tax authorities approved this application in a letter dated July
27, 2011. Tax authorities usually only approve a suspension of execution when
there are serious doubts about the lawfulness of a notice.
No interest payments will be due until further notice on account of the
suspension of execution, and no additional interest will be incurred during the
period of suspension.
The Federal Fiscal Court (Bundesfinanzhof) is already revising a case similar in
nature to that of asknet AG.
