The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that a specific convertible loan was not a taxable security under the Transfer Tax Act. The court determined that because the loan's interest was fixed and did not depend on the issuer's profits or dividends, it lacked the essential characteristics of a security. Consequently, the transfer of this loan did not trigger transfer tax obligations.
