This is rounded down to 12,50 EUR gross dividend per share
Total gross dividends: 2 500 shares x 12,50 EUR/share 31 250,00 EUR
Withholding tax: 30 % x 12,50 EUR 3,75 EUR
Net dividend per share: 70 % x 12,50 EUR 8,75 EUR

Difference: 31 262,25 EUR – 31 250,00 EUR = 12,25 EUR


12,25 EUR is added to the profit to be carried forward, which is then
9 631,13 EUR + 12,25 EUR = 9 643,38 EUR

25

The NV: profit appropriation


with liquidation reserve
Introduction
From assessment year 2015, i.e. from the financial year closing on
31/12/2014, small companies (cf. article 1:24 BCCA) can allocate the
entire ‘profit of the financial year to be appropriated (code 9905)’,
even if there are losses carried forward from a previous financial
year, to a liquidation reserve, to be recorded in one or more
separate accounts of the liabilities
However, a separate assessment is due on this, in the amount of
10 % of the amount recorded as a liquidation reserve
This separate assessment must still be recorded in a separate sub-
account of account 6702 ‘Estimated taxes’ in the year-end
transactions on the balance sheet date and has an effect on the
‘profit of the year to be appropriated’

26

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 13
Academic year 2020-2021

The NV: profit appropriation


with liquidation reserve
Introduction
Due to the anticipatory taxation of 10 %, the liquidation reserve may
be distributed tax-free (no withholding tax) to the shareholders
upon dissolution of the company
If the liquidation reserve is distributed as a dividend within five
years of its creation, 20 % withholding tax is still owed by the
shareholder for liquidation reserves created as of assessment
year 2018. After that period, a withholding tax of 5 % is still due; the
5-year period is calculated from the end of the financial year in
which the liquidation reserve was created
Other legal and any statutory obligations must also be taken into
account when allocating the result

The NV: profit appropriation


with liquidation reserve
Example 1
FACTS:
The SME company NV DELTA has a (provisional) ‘profit of the financial year to
be appropriated’ (after recording the fiscal provision for corporate tax) of
1 430,00 EUR. There is also a profit carried forward from the previous financial
year of 300,00 EUR.
The company proposes the following profit appropriation:
allocation of 1 200,00 EUR to a liquidation reserve (available);
allocation of 5 % of the net profit to the legal reserve;
the balance is carried forward to the next financial year.
REQUIRED:
Calculate and record the distribution of profits.

Example 1 Step 1:
Determination of the profit
Profit available for appropriation available for appropriation

A separate assessment of 10 % is still due on the allocation to the


liquidation reserve: 10 % x 1 200,00 EUR = 120,00 EUR
This can be recorded as follows
No. Acc. no. Description D C
31/12/20X0
… 6702 Estimated taxes 120,00
4500 @ Estimated taxes 120,00

This reduces the final ‘Profit of the financial year to be appropriated’


(code 9905) to 1 430,00 EUR – 120,00 EUR = 1 310,00 EUR

Example 2
FACTS:
The SME company NV EPSILON has a (provisional) ‘profit of the financial year
to be appropriated’ (after recording the fiscal provision for corporate tax) of
1 430,00 EUR. In the balance sheet, there is a loss carried forward from the
previous financial year of 500,00 EUR.
It is proposed to transfer the entire ‘Profit of the financial year to be
appropriated’ to the liquidation reserve, and to qualify part of it as ‘legal
reserve’.
A further special assessment of 10/110 or 9,0909... % is then due on the
establishment of the liquidation reserve.
9,0909...% x 1 430,00 EUR = 130,00 EUR. Which means that 1 430,00 EUR –
130,00 EUR = 1 300,00 EUR remains as ‘profit of the year to be appropriated’,
which can ultimately be allocated to the liquidation reserve.
REQUIRED:
Calculate and record the distribution of profits.

Example 2 Step 1:
Determination of the profit
Profit available for appropriation available for appropriation

In this case, this 1 300,00 EUR profit of the year to be appropriated will be
divided between the legal reserve and an available reserve, both classified
as a liquidation reserve
The portion transferred to the legal reserve is no longer eligible for later
distribution as a dividend
Legal reserve = 5 % x (1 300,00 EUR – 500,00 EUR loss carried forward) =
40,00 EUR
The remainder goes to an available liquidation reserve
Finally, the loss carried forward from the previous financial year is simply
carried forward again → This has an effect on the justification of
maintaining the valuation rules in continuity (article 3:6, § 1, 6° BCCA)

The NV:
profit distribution restrictions
Article 7:212 BCCA
‘No distribution may be made if the net assets, as shown in the annual
accounts, have decreased or could decrease as a result of the distribution
below the amount of the paid-up or, if higher, of the called-up capital
increased with all reserves not distributable by law or the articles of
association.
For the purposes of this provision, the non-depreciated portion of the
revaluation surpluses shall be treated as a reserve that has been made
unavailable pursuant to the law.
‘Net assets’ shall mean the total amount of the assets as shown in the balance
sheet, less the provisions, the liabilities and, save in exceptional cases to be
mentioned and justified in the notes to the annual accounts, any pending
depreciation of the costs of incorporation and further development and of the
research and development costs.’

Net assets are defined as

Total assets (= total liabilities)


- Provisions
- Debts
= Shareholders’ equity
- Formation expenses
- Research and developments costs
= Net assets

53

The NV:

These net assets may not fall below the paid-up
(or if higher the called-up) capital, plus all
unavailable amounts of equity capital

This therefore gives the sum of


Paid-up (or if higher called-up) capital

Example
Is this profit distribution allowed?
Net assets = 300 000,00 EUR (total assets) – 20 000,00 EUR
(provisions) – 50 000,00 EUR (amounts payable) –
10 000,00 EUR (formation expenses) – 40 000,00 EUR (R&D
costs) = 180 000,00 EUR
Unavailable equity capital = 150 000,00 EUR (capital) +
15 000,00 EUR (legal reserve) + 60 000,00 EUR (capital
subsidies) = 225 000,00 EUR
Conclusion: the adjusted net assets would fall below
225 000,00 EUR, so the proposed dividend distribution is not
allowed

proves that such shareholders or all other persons for the benefit of whom the
distribution has been decided were aware or, having regard to the

Introduction
Article 5:141 BCCA
‘The general meeting shall be authorised to allocate the profit and to
determine the distributions.’

No requirement to retain a portion of net profits


to establish a legal reserve

BVs that are ‘small’ (in accordance with

Profit distribution restrictions
In a BV, when deciding to distribute profits, a
double test must be met
• Balance sheet test or net assets test
• Liquidity test

62

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 31
Academic year 2020-2021

The BV: profit appropriation


Balance sheet test or net assets test
(article 5:142 BCCA)

What? Solvency test to determine whether distributions


can be made in private limited company

Test
• No distribution can be made if the net assets of the company
are negative or would become negative because of the
distribution
• If company has unavailable equity capital: no distribution can
be made if net assets have fallen or would fall below amount of
unavailable equity capital because of the distribution

63

The BV: profit appropriation


Balance sheet test or net assets test
(article 5:142 BCCA)
The net assets may not be negative + they may not fall below the
unavailable equity
Net assets = Total assets – Provisions – Debts – Unamortised costs of
formation expenses (20) – Unamortised development costs (210)
The net assets are determined on the basis of the last approved
annual accounts or of a more recent statement of assets and
liabilities
The unavailable equity (in the BV) = Unavailable contributions
outside capital (111) + Unamortised part of revaluation surpluses
(12) + Reserves not available for distribution (131) + Investment
grants (15)

Liquidity test
(article 5:143 BCCA)
What? Second test to be carried out for the limitation of
distributions which mentions that distributions can be
made only if it can reasonably be expected that, after the
distribution, the company will be able to continue to pay
its debts as they fall due over a period of at least twelve
months from the date of the distribution
Test
• Current ratio > 1, taking into account distribution
• Acid test ratio > 1, taking into account distribution
• Distribution = short term debt towards shareholders

Example
FACTS:
At the end of financial year 20X1, the BV ZETA has a (still undistributed) profit
for the financial year of 5 000,00 EUR. It is proposed to the general meeting to
reserve 10 % of this (available reserve) and to distribute the rest as dividend.
The balance sheet on 31/12/20X0 looks as follows:
ASSETS LIABILITIES
Formation expenses 500 Equity 15 000

(provisions) – 24 500,00 EUR (amounts payable) – 500,00 EUR
(formation expenses) – 0,00 EUR (R&D costs) = 15 000,00 EUR
→ Conclusion: the net assets are not negative
Unavailable equity capital = 10 000,00 EUR (contributions not
available) + 1 000,00 EUR (reserves not available) =
11 000,00 EUR
→ Conclusion: the net assets do not fall below unavailable
equity capital
→ The balance sheet test or net assets test is OK!

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 34
Academic year 2020-2021

The BV: profit appropriation


Example
Liquidity test
Must be performed by the management body at the date of distribution (making the
dividend payable)
The evaluation should not be done on the basis of the balance sheet on 31/12/20X1
(included in the annual accounts), but in principle based on an interim statement at
the time of distribution (i.e. after the general meeting)
If calculations are made based on the present balance sheet from the annual
accounts:
• Current ratio = (12 000,00 EUR + 8 000,00 EUR + 6 000,00 EUR)/16 500,00 EUR
= 1,5758
• Acid test ratio or quick ratio test = (8 000,00 EUR +
6 000,00 EUR)/16 500,00 EUR = 0,8484
Conclusion: the liquidity in the broad sense is sufficient, but the liquidity in the
narrow sense is below 1 and indicates a possible liquidity risk

69

The BV: profit appropriation


Example
Liquidity test
Based on the calculated ratios, the management body should definitely retake the
liquidity test based on the balance sheet at the date of distribution to further assess
this risk
It is ultimately the responsibility of the management body to decide whether to
proceed with distribution
This can put the management body in an awkward position when the general meeting
has decided to make a distribution (taking into account the balance sheet test), but
the management body decides (on the basis of the liquidity test) that no distribution
(or only a partial distribution) is possible on the foreseen date
In order to avoid this, it is best that the liquidity test is also prepared and submitted to
the general meeting

Introduction
In the financial statements, the taxes on the
result must be included, so that the result of the
financial year after taxes is known, which must
then be allocated

In other words: the profit after taxes must be


distributed

Introduction
At the end of the financial year, the so-called ‘tax
provision’ must be determined and recorded,
taking into account the taxes already paid in the
course of the financial year

Tax provision = a possible debt or receivable


towards the tax authorities

Taxable base
Determination of the taxable base
Accounting result (revenues – expenses)
+ Expenditure rejected (e.g. income tax (67/77-
accounts), 50 % of the costs of business gifts, 31 %
of restaurant costs ...)
- Directors’ fees (still to be allocated in the profit
distribution)
- Tax deductions
- Loss carried forward (for tax purposes)
= Taxable base

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 4
Academic year 2020-2021

Determination of the tax provision


Basic taxation
Calculation of the basic taxation
Basic taxation = Taxable base x Rate

General corporate income tax rate: 25 % as from


assessment year 2021

SME companies (in accordance with article 1:24


BCCA) that meet a series of tax conditions: a
reduced rate of 20 % on the first tranche of
100 000,00 EUR is applicable

Determination of the tax provision


Tax increase
Calculation of the tax increase
Companies in principle receive their tax assessment
notice in the third quarter after the end of the fiscal
year

However, during the fiscal year, they must pay in


advance one-fourth of their final tax due each time
no later than 10 days after the end of the quarter
(for the last quarter, 10 days before the end of the
quarter)

10

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 5
Academic year 2020-2021

Determination of the tax provision


Tax increase
Calculation of the tax increase
Advance payments
• Advance payment 1: no later than 10/04
• Advance payment 2: no later than 10/07
• Advance payment 3: no later than 10/10
• Advance payment 4: no later than 20/12
• Each time ¼ of the tax due for the current financial year
In practice: not easy to estimate the result of the
financial year and, consequently, the final tax due
→ The principle of ¼ per quarter is often still
adjusted in the course of the financial year

11

Determination of the tax provision


Tax increase
Calculation of the tax increase
Companies that do not make enough advance
payments incur a tax increase
The increase percentage is determined on the basis
of the ECB basic interest rate (= reference rate)
• Basic interest rate ≥ 3 %
• Increase percentage = 2,25 x Basic interest rate
• Increase percentage corresponds to the average of the
bonification interest rates
The increase percentage is always applied to
Basic taxation – Withholding tax
12

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 6
Academic year 2020-2021

Determination of the tax provision


Reduction of tax increase
Calculation of the reduction of the tax increase
Advance payments lead to prevention of a tax increase
→ Bonification interest rate
The ECB reference rate (for example 3 %) is divided by 2 =
1,50 % and applied per quarter that a company paid earlier
than the assessment
• Bonification interest rate AP1: 6 quarters x 1,50 % = 9 %
• Bonification interest rate AP2: 5 quarters x 1,50 % = 7,50 % Total
• Bonification interest rate AP3: 4 quarters x 1,50 % = 6 % 27 %
• Bonification interest rate AP4: 3 quarters x 1,50 % = 4,50 %
27 % / 4 = 6,75 % or 2,25 x 3 % = 6,75 % → This gives an
average percentage increase of 6,75 % if a company had not
paid anything in advance

13

Determination of the tax provision


Reduction of tax increase
Calculation of the reduction of the tax increase
The reference interest rate is always determined per
assessment year: if the financial year runs parallel with the
calendar year, the assessment year is always the year
following the financial year
Example: for financial year 20X0 take into account the reference rate of
20X1
Either a tax increase is recorded or not (= no increase), but the
tax authorities do not grant any bonus (interest) if the advance
payments are too high and/or too early
Tax increase – Reduction of tax increase ≥ 0
The taxes that are paid too much in advance will be refunded

FACTS:
The balance sheet of the SME company BVBA ALPHA on 31/12/20X0 shows an
accounting profit of 110 500,00 EUR. The company benefits from a notional
interest deduction of 1 500,00 EUR.
The company made the following advance payments:

The large company NV BETA has an accounting profit of 72 500,00 EUR, as
shown in its balance sheet on 31 December 20X0.
In this balance sheet we also find a debit balance of 28 000,00 EUR in the
6700-account (composed as follows: advance payment 1 = 12 000,00 EUR,
advance payment 2 = 10 000,00 EUR, advance payment 3 = 0,00 EUR, advance
payment 4 = 5 000,00 EUR, withholding tax = 1 000,00 EUR).
In the 61-account for business gifts there is a debit balance of 4 000,00 EUR.
NV BETA will grant a director's fee of 5 200,00 EUR in the context of the
subsequent profit appropriation. It has still carried forward (tax) losses of
1 300,00 EUR.
The reference interest rate for assessment year 20X1 is 4 %.

Increase of contributions: business economic aspects
Answer: 3 possibilities
• Using existing cash and cash equivalents
• Contracting a loan
• Carrying out an increase of contributions
‒ Public limited company: capital increase
‒ Private limited company: increase of contributions

Which one to prefer?

Introduction
Overview of the legal provisions
Formalities and conditions as prescribed for the
incorporation of the company
In principle: a capital increase (NV) or increase in
contributions (BV) with the issue of new shares
requires an amendment to the articles of
association that must be decided on by the
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
(article 7:153 (NV) and article 5:100 (BV) BCCA)
• At least half of the capital must be represented; if not:
resolved by a new meeting
• Three quarters of the votes must approve amendments

Introduction
Overview of the legal provisions
Exceptions
• NV: authorized capital (article 7:198 BCCA)
• BV: delegation of power (article 5:134 BCCA)
• BV: additional contributions without issuing new
shares can be accepted by a simple majority; this
resolution is established in an authentic deed
(article 5:120 BCCA)

No financial plan is required in the event of an


increase of contributions

Introduction
Actual versus formal increase of the contributions
Actual increase of contributions: increase of
contributions resulting in an actual increase in
shareholders’ equity Impact on equity
versus
Formal increase of contributions: increase of
contributions by incorporating into the contributions:
• share premium (11)
• revaluation surpluses (12), less deferred taxes on them
• reserves: legal reserve (130), unavailable reserves (131) and
available reserves (133)
• profit carried forward or retained profits (14)
• NOT: untaxed reserves (132) and investment grants (15)
No impact on equity
13

Introduction
Concepts of values of shares
Nominal value
• Value stated on shares
• Nominal value x Number of shares = Issued capital

Fractional value or par value


• Value of shares not mentioning a nominal value
• Issued capital/Number of shares

Actual value: several methods possible


• Stock market price
• Book value or intrinsic value = Equity/Number of
shares
• ...

Example: capital increase in Plc ROMEO
Nominal value of one share
= Issued capital/Number of shares
= 100 000,00 EUR/5 000 shares = 20,00 EUR/share
Intrinsic value of one share
= Amount of equity/Number of shares
• Before capital increase:
250 000,00 EUR/5 000 shares = 50,00 EUR/share
• After capital increase:
300 000,00 EUR/7 500 shares = 40,00 EUR/share

Answer: theoretical value of subscription right
equals loss of existing shareholder on 1 share
Intrinsic value before capital increase
– Intrinsic value after capital increase
Plc ROMEO: 50,00 EUR – 40,00 EUR = 10,00 EUR
35

Public limited company


Actual capital increase: pre-emptive right
Example: capital increase in Plc ROMEO
Option 1: Pre-emptive right
Check 1: existing shareholder with 2 shares buys
1 new share
• Loss on 2 existing shares: 2 x 10,00 EUR = 20,00 EUR
• Profit on 1 new share: 40,00 EUR – 20,00 EUR = 20,00 EUR

Check 2: existing shareholder with 2 shares sells


subscription right at 10,00 EUR per dividend coupon
• Loss on 2 existing shares: 2 x 10,00 EUR = 20,00 EUR
• Revenue from selling subscription right: 2 x 10,00 EUR =

How many bonus shares does an ‘old’

What is theoretical value of a bonus of


Plc PAREO when stock market price is
60,00 EUR?

67

Public limited company


Formal capital increase
Example: capital increase in Plc PAREO
Answers
Incorporated reserves and retained
profits/Capital before capital increase
= 75 000,00 EUR/150 000,00 EUR = ½ = 0,50

A shareholder obtains 1 bonus share for 2 ‘old’


shares because incorporated elements and capital
before capital increase are to each other as 1 to 2

68

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 34
Academic year 2020-2021

Public limited company


Formal capital increase
Example: capital increase in Plc PAREO
Answers
Theoretical value of a bonus
• Value of 1 ’old’ share before capital increase:
60,00 EUR/share
• Value of 1 share after capital increase: (3 000 shares
x 60,00 EUR)/4 500 shares = 40,00 EUR/share
→ Theoretical value of 1 bonus:
60,00 EUR – 40,00 EUR = 20,00 EUR

69

Public limited company


Formal capital increase
Example: capital increase in Plc PAREO
Check
Value of 1 new share: 40,00 EUR

To obtain 1 new share, one needs 2 bonuses = 2


x 20,00 EUR = 40,00 EUR

Value of 1 new share = Value of 2 bonuses

Correct!

by a full or partial release of their obligation to pay up the balance of
their contribution, the creditors whose claims are created before the
publication shall have the right, within two months after publication of
the resolution for the capital reduction in the Annexes to the Belgian
Official Journal, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, to
demand security for any claims not yet due and payable on the date of
such publication and for the claims for which an objection has been
instituted before the court or through arbitration prior to the general
meeting resolving on the capital reduction. The company may stay such
claim by payment of the discounted value thereof.

Net assets = Total assets – Provisions – Debts – Unamortised costs of
formation expenses (20) – Unamortised development costs (210)
The net assets are determined on the basis of the last approved
annual accounts or of a more recent statement of assets and
liabilities
The unavailable equity (in the BV) = Unavailable contributions
outside capital (111) + Unamortised part of revaluation surpluses
(12) + Reserves not available for distribution (131) + Investment

Actual decrease of contributions
Example: withdrawal in private limited
company SUNNYDAY
One of the three shareholders of private limited
company SUNNYDAY wants to withdraw and must be
paid out; shares are evenly divided among shareholders
Questions
• What is the parting share that must be paid out to the
shareholder?
• Does the distribution of the parting share meets the net assets
test?
• If the distribution meets the net assets test → Does the
distribution of the parting share meets the liquidity test?

Private limited company


Actual decrease of contributions
Example: private limited company SUNNYDAY
Question: what is the parting share that must be paid
out to the shareholder?

Answer
• Parting share = amount of contributions actually paid and not
yet refunded (= historical contribution)
• 1/3 x 75 000,00 EUR = 25 000,00 EUR
Parting share = 25 000,00 EUR

53

Private limited company


Actual decrease of contributions
Example: private limited company SUNNYDAY
Question: does the distribution of the parting share
meets the net assets test?
Answer
• Distribution may not result in negative net assets, so
distribution is maximum amount of net assets
• Net assets = 250 000,00 EUR – 45 000,00 EUR =
205 000,00 EUR
• But: in case of unavailable equity, net assets may not fall below
amount of unavailable equity
• Net assets corrected for unavailable equity components:
205 000,00 EUR – 25 000,00 EUR – 30 000,00 EUR =
150 000,00 EUR
Maximum amount to be paid out = 150 000,00 EUR
Distribution meets net assets test!

Private limited company


Actual decrease of contributions
Example: private limited company SUNNYDAY
Question: does the distribution of the parting share
meets the liquidity test?

Answer
• Current ratio = (25 000,00 EUR + 35 000,00 EUR +
40 000,00 EUR)/(45 000,00 EUR + 25 000,00 EUR) = 1,43
• Acid test ratio = (35 000,00 EUR +
40 000,00 EUR)/(45 000,00 EUR + 25 000,00 EUR) = 1,07
Current ratio and acid test ratio > 1

Distribution meets liquidity test!

Choosing a company

Introduction
Choosing a company
Sole proprietorship versus incorporated company
Sole proprietorship
• A sole proprietorship is a form of business where one person is
responsible for a business
• That person is both the founder and the owner of the company and is
personally liable for actions and finances
• Although the owner is independent, he can hire staff

Incorporated company
• A company is incorporated by a legal act of one or more persons,
called shareholders, who make a contribution
• It shall have assets and liabilities and as object the exercise of one or
more well-defined activities
• One of its purposes is to provide a direct or indirect financial benefit
to its shareholders

Lecturer: V. Ghijselinck 3

Introduction
Choosing a company
Sole proprietorship

Advantages Disadvantages
All profits for owner-entrepreneur Unlimited liability
Indisputable authority of one person: Low continuity and difficult succession
not accountable to anyone
Flexibility: quick decisions Limited activity and expertise
Limited legal obligations and low Limited capital (available capital)
administrative formalities
Limited costs Tax status

Introduction
Choosing a company
Incorporated company
Advantages Disadvantages
Possibility of limiting liability (to the Profits (usually) have to be divided

Formation public limited liability company
Important remarks regarding the formation of a
public limited (liability) company (Plc)
A public limited company can be incorporated by way of a
legal act of one or more persons, called shareholders, who
make a contribution
• At least one partner (no maximum)
Issued capital should amount to at least 61 500,00 EUR
Amount of capital that must be paid up at the time of
incorporation
• Absolute amount: at least 61 500,00 EUR of issued capital has to be
paid up
• Per share: each share has to be paid up for at least 1/4
• Shares representing a contribution in kind must be paid up in full
within five years after the incorporation of the company

19

Accounting aspects
Formation public limited liability company
Minimum amount to be paid up at the time of
incorporation
Absolute minimum amount and minimum payment per share
subscribed in cash or in kind must be applied in combination,
whereby the higher of the two calculated amounts always
applies

Remark: for contributions in kind it is checked whether it is


practically possible to hand over the contribution in fractions
to the company → Often the contribution will have to be
made in full (de facto, for practical reasons) even though this
is not required by the Belgian Code of Companies and
Associations
