Enterprise reorganization: why is it good?

According to the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus, the gratuitous transfer of property of a company to the subject of succession through the reorganization of a legal entity is not recognized as the realization of property rights, goods, works or services. It follows from this that this form of transfer of property is not subject to taxation.

Article 31 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus directly states that the value of property transferred in this way is not subject to value added tax. The Regulation is supplemented by Article 128 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus. According to it, the property transferred through the reorganization of the enterprise is not non-operating income. Thus, the transfer of property in this case according to the separation balance sheet or transfer act is carried out without paying taxes. This will save significant funds for business activities, reduce mandatory costs when creating a new legal entity, liquidating an old one, changing participants or changing the profile of activity.

Forms of enterprise reorganization

Appropriate methods of reorganization of the enterprise are contained in Article 53 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus. These include:

• Merging. A way of combining several types of business or companies into one economic entity. Occurs with the formation of a new legal entity from several existing ones. All rights of the old entities are transferred to the new company. And the old firms at the time of the merger suspend their activities.
• Accession. Also a way of merging corporations. But with some differences. This is a process of friendly takeover by one business entity of another. The rights and obligations of the merging company are transferred to another company participating in the merger.
• Separation. From the old subject of economic activity, new companies are formed, which are its legal successors. At the same time, the old subject stops working for the duration of the procedure.
• Selection. This is a special case of separation, in which a new legal entity is formed by transferring part of the rights and obligations of the old one according to the separation balance sheet. At the same time, both the old and the new organizations continue to exist.
• Transformation is a change in the organizational and legal form of a commercial organization. This is a convenient option for selling an economic entity, for example, a PUE. But it can also be used to change the profile of activity, as an effective tool for increasing the profitability of the organization.
