Handbook on the Covert Distribution of Profits

The handbook illustrates the complex issues surrounding the covert distribution of profits. The difference between "Mine and Yours" is brought into focus for limited liability companies and stock corporations when it concerns the question of how profits should be correctly determined and transferred from the company to its partners/shareholders in conformity with the law. This handbook provides clarity on what it is a complex field of law: It provides a profound and practical overview of the covert distribution of profits under company, tax and criminal law.
