Peer to peer platforms – legal and tax framework

The next installment in the Highgate Talks series looks at the legal and tax aspects of peer-to-peer platforms. The video podcast features a discussion between Mr. Michal Kiska, a member of the board of directors of the Slovak peer-to-peer platform Zinc Euro, and our partner Peter Varga. Together they address topics such as what a peer-to-peer platform is and how a peer-to-peer lending platform works. They also address questions about how such a peer-to-peer platform is regulated and how it relates to (regulated) crowdfunding. You will also learn the answer to whether loans arranged through peer-to-peer platforms are consumer loans and what the tax treatment of such a structure is.
