Questão jurídica principal
Whether the withholding tax claim arose when the dividend became due on 31 May 2010, despite later shareholder resolutions postponing payment again.
Decisão extraída
The claim arose when the dividend became due on 31 May 2010; the later resolution could not retroactively postpone the due date.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 12 VStG and Art. 21(3) VStV, if no further due date is set before expiry, the dividend becomes immediately due and the tax claim arises. A later general meeting cannot alter a due date already elapsed.
