Peter Nias was quoted in the Financial Times on February 17 in regard to a recent ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which found discriminatory and unlawful the thin capitalization rules in the German tax code that could at best give UK businesses a timely cash boost or worse increase bureaucracy and taxes. Mr. Nias commented that the ECJ decision could potentially have a similar impact in the UK (and in all EU countries) and if the UK thin capitalization rules are held to be discriminatory and unlawful it could result in UK subsidiaries of multinational companies financed by an EU affiliate looking to the Inland Revenue for redress if part of their interest expense was disallowed or an amount of loss carried forward was reduced.
