Work highlights
Acting as advisor for Danone with respect to its 2025 French-based equity programmes for their employees. The complexity of the equity programmes in the group is high. This is due to the fact that the programmes are modelled around French tax and corporate rules.
Acting as sole tax advisor to the Danish listed company Jeudan A/S in respect to real estate taxation.
Successfully completed six cases representing Velliv before the administrative courts. These triggered the repayment of more than € 4 million in overpaid property taxes, as well as large annual forward-looking savings.
