Field help: Subsequent acquisition costs (sect. 17 para. 2a of the Income Tax Act (EStG))

Examples of subsequent acquisition costs:

• Subsequent payments: Payments that you make to stabilise the company's financial situation.
• Loan losses: Losses on loans that you have granted to the company if the loan is considered to be for company-related reasons.
• Loss transfers: Payments to cover the company's losses if you, as a shareholder, are obliged to take over the losses.
