Establishing and managing associations and foundations requires careful legal and tax planning. In addition to selecting the appropriate legal form, non-profit organisations must meet numerous legal requirements to secure tax benefits and ensure long-term stability. Unclear statutes, flawed contracts, or insufficient tax structuring can result in significant legal and financial disadvantages.
Common challenges for organisations include:
- Choosing the appropriate legal form for associations and foundations
- Drafting and reviewing statutes and foundation agreements
- Ensuring non-profit status to qualify for tax privileges
- Succession planning and long-term asset protection
