The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that assets allocated by reinsurers to establish legal reserves for insured companies constitute taxable capital gains. The court affirmed that these assets are subject to the Capital Gains Code, rejecting the argument that their specific allocation exempts them from taxation. This decision clarifies that the nature of the asset as a capital gain remains unchanged regardless of its subsequent use for reserve formation.
