The most straightforward way to invest in property together is for the investors to hold the asset jointly. Though this is comparatively uncommon in a commercial setting, where investors tend to create a structure such as a partnership or a company to serve as the joint venture vehicle, it still represents the prevailing and most familiar form of joint investment. For many individual investors, this is the route most often taken in practice. Contractual joint ownership Contractual joint ownership can take several forms, including: where each participant holds a direct legal interest in the asset (see Practice Note: Establishing a beneficial interest (joint ownership)) where a trust—express or implied—is established over the property, so that trustees hold the property for the trust’s beneficiaries (see Practice Note: Trusts of land—property) where an implied partnership arrangement is in place (see Practice Note: Forming a general partnership and continuing obligations) This Practice Note examines each of these joint ownership routes, their direct tax...

CASE HUB (date of judgment—18/01/2017) For more, see: timeline, commentary and related/similar cases Case facts ARCHIVED — this archived case hub captures the position as at the 18 January 2017 decision date; it is no longer being maintained. Outline An appeal was lodged against the General Court’s ruling that only partially annulled the Commission decision of 5 December 2012 identifying infringements of Article 101 TFEU and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement and, therefore, holding that Toshiba remains jointly and severally responsible for the conduct of a former joint venture arising from that venture’s direct participation in a cartel covering the supply of cathode ray tubes (the ‘TV tubes cartel’). On 18 January 2017, the Court of Justice dismissed Toshiba’s challenge in full, thereby confirming the €82.8m fine imposed jointly and severally on Toshiba (together with Panasonic and Toshiba’s former joint venture, Matsushita Toshiba Picture Display Co Ltd (MTPD)—now called MT Picture JV) for MTPD’s involvement in the cartel on the market for cathode ray...

Overview Joint ventures cover a wide spectrum of commercial arrangements, from merger-style integrations to co-operation confined to particular functions such as production, distribution, or research and development (R&D). This questionnaire seeks sufficient detail about the joint venture’s activities to enable an initial assessment of whether it is a full-function joint venture for the purposes of the EU Merger Regulation (Council Regulation No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings). If it is a full-function venture with an EU dimension (meaning the turnover thresholds are satisfied), the joint venture must be notified to the European Commission (the Commission) and cannot proceed until the Commission has found it compatible with the internal market. If the joint venture is not full-function and operates as a partnership that is, to a large extent, dependent on its parent companies, the establishment of the joint venture does not require notification; however, the Commission may exercise control after the fact, in light of Article 10(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union...
