Abstract

I Danmark er erhvervsdrivende fonde—fonde der driver erhvervsaktivitet—fritaget for skat af de uddelinger, der går til almennyttige formål. Med indførelsen af Minimum Tax Act kan disse fonde blive pålagt en suppleringsskat (en ekstra skat efter de nye regler), hvis de ikke anerkendes som en "undtaget enhed".

In Denmark, commercial foundations—foundations that run business activities—do not pay tax on the part of their distributions that goes to charitable purposes. With the introduction of the Minimum Tax Act, these foundations could face a Top-up Tax (an additional tax under the new rules) if they are not recognised as an "excluded entity."
