Questão jurídica principal
Whether Art. 4a VStG subjects own restricted shares held beyond the OR two-year resale period to withholding tax
Decisão extraída
Yes. Art. 4a VStG incorporates Art. 659 OR as a whole, including the duty to reduce holdings above 10% within two years; if that duty is not met, withholding tax arises immediately.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording, structure, purpose, and legislative history show that Art. 4a VStG creates an irrebuttable partial-liquidation fiction for breaches of the corporate limits and resale duties under Art. 659 OR. Allowing an additional four tax-free years would contradict the statutory design and legal unity.
