Investing in art - Does Pablo Picasso still give pleasure after the tax bill? The fake, the stolen and the real Picasso in the light of civil and tax law
"Does Pablo Picasso still give pleasure after the tax bill?" The answer to the initial question depends on whether you bought a fake, a stolen or a genuine Picasso. We must therefore examine the initial question in the first step in the light of civil law and in the second step in the light of tax law. A Zurich art collector will accompany us on this journey. So much up front: when buying a real Picasso, there is still joy after the tax bill. The joy of a real Picasso is greater than the annoyance of the annual wealth tax bill sent by the tax authorities! We can understand the joy of a real Picasso a little better if we take a look back at the Basel Picasso year 1967.
