Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the intra-group share sales involved taxable hidden profit distributions.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The company waived part of the purchase price when selling shares to group companies, allowing them to resell at a higher price and thus conferring a hidden benefit.
Extrahierte Begründung
The transfer prices were not at arm's length; the profit from the transactions was left to the group companies without objective reason, which constituted a gratuitous benefit.
