A further tax credit is also provided in favor of the company which increases its share capital.<\/p>\n<p>About the first aspect, the capital increase must be resolved, subscribed and fully paid up between May 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0and December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The tax credit is available to the current shareholder as well as new investors interested to be part of the company\u2019s equity. It is also stated that companies\u2019 groups cannot take advantage of such tax credit.<\/p>\n<p>The tax credit is not automatically provided for every type of capital increase. Indeed, such an increase must meet some specific requirements listed in\u00a0<em>Decreto Rilancio<\/em>. Among other requirements, it is stated that the capital increase must be at least worth Euro 250.000,00 for companies that registered in FY 2019 earnings among Euro 5 and Euro 50 million. Furthermore, the tax credit is strictly connected to the detrimental effects suffered by the companies during the COVID-19 lockdown period of March and April (a reduction of 33% of last year\u2019s profits for the same timeframe is required).<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to consider that if such tax credit will be enjoyed, the shareholder cannot sell or disinvest the acquired share capital until December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, 2023 as well as resolve the distribution of any kind capital reserve during the same time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Before asking for the tax credit some further convenience considerations are also fundamental. Indeed, the legislative provision expressly states that such tax credit will cumulate with other State aids. Therefore, it is important to act in order to be sure that the total amount of such aids does not exceed the maximum amount of Euro 800.000,00 for each company, as stated by the European Commission communication entitled \u201d\u00a0<em>Temporary Framework For State Aid Measures To Support The Economy In The Current Covid-19 Outbreak<\/em>\u00a0\u201c.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/it.andersen.com\/en\/professional\/carlo-riso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carlo Riso<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article 26 of Decree n. 34\/2020 (so-called \u201cDecreto Rilancio\u201c), entitled \u201cmedium-sized companies capital strengthening\u00a0\u201c, provides new measures to support the capitalization processes of SMEs.
