Eine Haftung der Lubrizol GmbH nach § 75 AO im Fall der Rückforderung der o.g. Vorsteuern aus Provisionsgutschriften der von ihr übernommenen Firma Becker scheidet aus, weil die erforderlichen Voraussetzungen nicht erfüllt sind. Vorausgesetzt wird u.a. die Übereignung eines Unternehmens im ganzen, d.h. der Übergang des gesamten lebenden Unternehmens, der durch das Unternehmen repräsentierten organischen Zusammenfassung von sächlichen Einrichtungen, persönlichen Mitteln und dauernden Maßnahmen, die dem Unternehmen dienen oder seine wesentlichen Grundlagen ausmachen, so dass der Erwerber das Unternehmen ohne nennenswerte finanzielle Aufwendungen fortführen kann.

"tangible assets" or "inventory"
Explanation:
"tangible assets" would word-by-word mean "materielle Vermögensgegenstände", i.e. the same martina tries to describe as "material equipment". But her term does not sound good to me. And then, it is not limited to equipment, but may include producion facilities, real estate, land etc. belonging to the company. Therefore, my suggaestion seems to be more appropriate.

"Inventory" - all things under one's possession - also covers all alternatives.

Chose one of them.

disagree  Steffen Pollex (X): "material", in English, means "wesentlich". I would use "tangible" instead of "material".It's more common in the bus/fin/accounting environment.

material equipment


Explanation:
Sächlich bedeutet etwas, was auf Sachen d.h. primär Objekte, oder Inhalte bezogen ist.

Siehe diesen Auszug:

"Zielgruppe sächlich: Sowohl kleine und mittlere Unternehmen aus Industrie, Handel, Logistik, dem Software- und IT-Bereich, als auch Existenzgründer können Ihre Projektideen einreichen.

Zielgruppe räumlich: Dieser Wettbewerb bezieht sich auf das Ruhrgebiet (KVR)sowie Ahlen, Krefeld und der Kreis Heinsberg."

Ich würde die Übersetzung "material equipment" vorschlagen.

disagree  Steffen Pollex (X): "Einrichtungsgegenstände", in this context, does not mean "equipment". Inventory is better, IMO.

fixed assets


Explanation:
Ich nehme an, dass dieses Elaborat nicht unbedingt von einem Rechtsanwalt/Steuerfachmann geschrieben wurde, und dass im der im Deutschen verwendete Ausdruck saechliche Einrichtungen eigentlich Sachanlagen heissen muesste. Daher im Englischen fixed assets.
