Disproportionate withdrawals

In the intricate labyrinths of the Income Tax Law, there are tax regimes that intertwine like threads in a spider web, trapping property owners under their burdensome influence.

These withdrawals can be in money, in the use or enjoyment of company assets, which is why the concept of withdrawal is much broader.
