According to her, as of the beginning of 2022, 239,609 active individual entrepreneurs in the IT sector were registered in Ukraine, and in February 2024, despite the war and “bad times” for the Ukrainian economy, their number was already 275,279. It demonstrates the rapid development of the IT sector in Ukraine. When we talk about disputes in this sphere, we mean disputes over the protection of intellectual property (IP) rights, usually to such a specific IP object as software. However, this understanding is somewhat narrow. Find out what groups IT disputes are divided into and what trends they indicate in the article by Alina Kushnir, Associate at SYROTA DZIS MELNYK & PARTNERS.

In view of the legal position settled by the Apex Page 17 / 25 https://lnkd.in/d5_yBvsD  Crl.O.P.No.17906 of 2017 and Crl.M.P.Nos.10920 and 10921 of 2017 court in Prem Dass's case ( supra) , it cannot be held that the legal position laid down by this Court in G.Viswanathan's case (supra) is good law. In the instant case, admittedly there is no concealment of any source of income or taxable item, inclusion of a circumstance aimed to evade tax or furnishing of inaccurate particulars regarding any assessment or payment of tax. What is involved is only a failure on the part of the petitioner to pay the tax in time, which was later on paid after availing installment facility with interest. The penalty imposed is now pending consideration before the appellate authority. So it would not fall under the mischief of Section 276 C of the Income Tax Act.Ansari Solicitor Firm

👉 One of the more interesting aspects of Nexia Advicero international cooperation within the Nexia network is the differences in taxation in the various member states that exist even in the area of indirect taxation - although these are theoretically the most harmonised.  A great example of this is #excise duty💸, where, despite a list of products taxed throughout the EU, we also have non-harmonised products, such as 🚗cars in Poland, or even coffee in other states. Today we will show one of them, concerning electronic cigarettes. While the Polish media have been buzzing about Ministerstwo Finansów plans to increase excise duty on "traditional" #cigarettes 🚬 (which, as usual, will result in a decrease in budget revenue contrary to the assumed increase in), a general tax ruling📝 by the Minister of Finance dated 21 June 2024 (mark: DAG1.8101.1.2024) has gone almost unnoticed, according to which propylene glycol and glycerine, intended for use in electronic cigarette, are subject to this tax even if they are not mixed with other substances, in particular nicotine. It is not only the smoking liquid itself that is taxed, but also the smoking base, as the tax ruling explicitly states.  For those unfamiliar with the Polish legal system, I explain that the general tax ruling is not the law in Poland, but the entire fiscal apparatus will apply this ruling - in essence extending the scope of taxation against the Excise Act. #rozmowyopodatkach #NexiaAdvicero #tax #AdviceroNexia #akcyza

Congratulations, Viktor! In a world that is becoming intellectually binary, losing any sense of balance and nuance, starting a book title with the word “equilibrium” is courageous, but very important. I hope you’ll have many readers. I’ll be among them for sure. #ruleoflaw #democracy #judicialreview

EU prosecutor's office is checking Bulgartransgaz over agreement with Turkish Botas. Scandal in Bulgaria: European prosecutor's office is checking Bulgartransgaz's actions under gas agreement with Turkish Botas. Bulgarian police are helping employees of the European prosecutor's office to gain access to the office of Bulgartransgaz, the country's national gas operator. Local media report on a prosecutor's investigation related to an agreement between Bulgartransgaz and the Turkish Botas. It is reported that in early 2023, Bulgaria, through the mediation of Bulgartransgaz, reached an agreement with Botas on cooperation at a regasification terminal and further gas transit. The agreement is valid until the end of 2035. However, after some time, the Bulgarian government considered the agreement with the Turkish side to be unfavorable for the country and attempted to change the agreement. The Bulgarians failed to achieve success in the negotiations. Meanwhile, Bulgarian parliamentarians initiated an investigation into the fact of the agreement. During the investigation, it was revealed that Bulgartransgaz pays Botas about $500,000 per day for the opportunity to transit gas, but the blue fuel itself does not arrive from Turkey. In order to study the situation thoroughly, the competent authorities got involved - the Bulgarian and EU prosecutors, national security agencies and others. The contract between Bulgargaz and Botas was signed for 13 years and allows Bulgaria to use Botas terminals to supply up to 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas. Let us recall that in early July, Bulgargaz (not Bulgartransgaz) sent a notice to Botas, where it reported that it no longer had the funds to make payments and proposed revising the terms of the contract, including revising the pricing and the possibility of transferring the rights to a third party. Then, Acting Bulgarian Energy Minister Vladimir Malinov said that the negotiations should be completed at the end of July. As we can see, there was no success, and now both the European Commission and the prosecutor's office are investigating the contract. https://lnkd.in/eS7Dgpnq

Romanian court clarifies who can administer institutional arbitration in Romania In a landmark decision, Romania's High Court of Cassation and Justice has confirmed that non-governmental organizations of public interest in Romania may administer institutional arbitration only if authorized by law, resolving legal uncertainty.  The Court’s decision provides certainty to arbitration users in Romania but does not apply to international or foreign arbitral institutions, such as the SCC. As a neutral and impartial organization, the SCC can and does administer cases involving parties from Romania. Indeed, the SCC observes an increasing number of Romanian parties in the previous five years.  In this news article, Dr Cosmin Vasile FCIArb, a member of the SCC Arbitrators’ Council and partner at Zamfirescu Racoti Vasile & Partners in Romania, analyses the decision and provides some key takeaways.

Important judgment regarding the treatment of pre-marital assets on #divorce. The treatment of assets where there are arguments about assets having been matrimonialised, together with the ‘fair’ application of the sharing principle have been considered by the Court of Appeal. Key points: • Legal title can effectively be overridden. If one spouse transfers assets to the other it doesn’t necessarily mean they cannot still be ringfenced. Potentially one for the #financialadvisors to read up on more when tax planning, although a nuptial agreement would still be best. • The #provenance of assets is enormously important. I anticipate future cases will see potential arguments around evidence on this. • Endeavour during the marriage can be key to sharing arguments. Again, an evidential minefield. • Needs still trumps all. The case having now been sent back to the High Court to determine needs. I’d be keen to hear what others make of this one? Comment below with your thoughts ⬇️
