Dania Accounting Podcast

A dividend is part of the profit paid out to a company's shareholders. Capital companies like ApS and A/S can distribute dividends after the first fiscal year ends and the annual report is approved at the annual general meeting. Extraordinary dividends are distributed during the year, not at the annual general meeting.

Usually, a holding company is not registered for VAT, and there is really no other activities than just managing the ownership of other companies.

Shareholder loans can be anything from payments done using the company credit card to pay for a private cost on behalf of a shareholder, to salary advances paid to a shareholder when a payslip has not yet been made, to dividends that are distributed without complying with the Companies Act or actual loans issued to the shareholder. According to the Companies Act, then a shareholder loan can be legal if certain formalities are in order. However, if the loan is issued to a shareholder who is a physical person and not a company it will be double-taxed regardless of being legal or not. Yes, double-taxed! In reality, making shareholder loans a really bad idea!
