Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Which taxes should be
taken into account in a
business model?
Taxes in Colombia are applied
at three main levels: national,
departmental, and municipal.
Which are the main
national taxes?
The income tax, the VAT, the na-
tional excise tax, the equity tax,
the debit tax (GMF for its Span-
ish acronym), the fuel tax, the
carbon tax, and the stamp tax.
How does the income tax
work?
It taxes profits generated by
tax-payers’ ordinary activities
that increase their net worth.
Profits not related to ordinary
activities are in general subject
to the supplementary capital
gains tax.
There are revenues that,
according to the legal
rules and subject to
certain requirements, are
considered nontaxable
income or capital gains,
such as profits from the
sale of shares listed in the
Colombian stock exchange,
certain capitalizations,
some indemnifications for
damages, among others.
Net operational losses (NOLs)
may be used to offset the or-
dinary net income generated
during the 12 years following the
loss. There are no time limita-
tions for NOLs generated up to
2016. Five years are allowed for
excess of presumptive income.
What are the
income tax rates?
Free trade zones industrial
and services users are
generally subject to 20%
How does the Colombian hold-
ing companies' regime operate
(CHC)?
It applies to Colombian entities
and allows for the dividends
distributed by foreign compa-
nies to a Colombian holding
company (CHC) to be tax ex-
empt. Profits from the sale of
foreign company shares by a
CHC are also tax exempt. The
non-resident shareholders of
a CHC should not be taxed on:
dividends which are paid out of
dividends previously received
by the CHC from foreign en-
tities, and transfers of CHC’s
shares on the portion of the
value attributable to activities
carried out outside Colombia.
ToqualifyasaCHC,thefollowing
requirements should be met:
• Having security holdings,
investment or holding of shares
or company participations,
and/or the administration of
such investments as one of its
main activities in the bylaws.
• Having at least 10% of
the capital of two or
more Colombian and/
or foreign entities during
at least 12 months.
• Having three or more
employees and the human and
physical resources in Colombia
required for its activities.
• Filing an application before
the tax authorities.
How does the foreign controlled
companies' regime work (ECE)?
This system applies to Colombian
residents (individual and compa-
nies) directly or indirectly having
an interest equal to or greater than
10% on the capital or the profits
of a foreign company controlled
by Colombians (ECE). In this case,
certain revenues obtained by the
ECE and which are considered
passive income will be immediate-
ly taxed at the level of the Colom-
bian resident shareholders, with-
out having to wait for the ECE to
distribute their profits in the form
of dividends.

How income tax
withholdings work?
This is a tax collection mech-
anism (in some cases such
withholding being the final
tax) according to which certain
persons must withhold some
amount from the payments
made and remit such amount
to the government. The with-
holding rate depends on the
nature of the payment.
• In Colombia, the rate is in
general 11% for payment
of fees or specialized
technical services to entities
located in Colombia, 4%
for general services, and
2.5% for purchases.
• Certain rates apply to
payments made to non-
residents: 20% for technical
assistance, technical services,
and consultancy services,
33% for management and
direction, 0%, 5%, 15%,or
20% for interests, and 10%
for dividends, among others.
How does the transfer
pricing regime works?
Taxpayers (including permanent
establishments of non-resi-
dents) carrying out operations
with foreign related parties, re-
lated parties located in Colom-
bian free trade zones, or with
persons, companies, or entities
located in non-cooperating ju-
risdictions, with low or no taxes,
or with preferential tax systems,
will be subject to the transfer
pricing regime. For income tax
purposes, the taxpayers should
establish their ordinary and
extraordinary revenues, costs
and deductions, as well as their
assets and liabilities, taking into
account the arm’s length princi-
ple (i.e. the conditions and com-
pensationshouldbeestablished
according to what would have
been agreed with or between
independent third parties). The
Colombian regulations provide
that the taxpayers may use any
of the following mechanisms to
establish the price or the profit
margin of operations executed
between related parties:
• Comparable
uncontrolled price
• Resale price
• Cost plus
• Transaction net margin
• Profits split
In order to establish the
assets, liabilities, equity,
revenues, costs, and
expenses of a permanent
establishment (including
branches of non-residents)
during a given taxable year,
an attribution study should
be prepared according to
the arm’s length principle,
taking into account
activities carried out, assets
used, risks assumed, and
personnel hired by the
company through the
permanent establishment.
How does the VAT work?
The general VAT rate is 19%.
However, there are some dif-
ferential rates of 0% and 5%
for certain products or services.
There are some VAT-excluded
goods and services.
How does the national
excise tax work?
This tax applies on the provi-
sion or sale to the end user, or
in the import of some goods
and services. Such goods and
services are in general not sub-
ject to the VAT. Rates are be-
tween 4% to 16%.
