Does the payment of another person’s debt in a simple partnership constitute an indirect gift?
We analyse this technique from the perspective of civil law, company law and tax law, and compare it with other gifting techniques.
For more information, you can find our analysis in the revue Revue de la planification patrimoniale belge et internationale (full reference: Verdickt B. and Bronckaers L., « Le paiement de la dette d’autrui dans une société simple : une donation indirecte ? », Revue de planification patrimoniale belge et internationale, n° 2025/4, p. 343 – 356).
