Right to deductions for larger sponsorships, provided they meet the conditions of Section 8, Subsection 1 of the Danish Tax Act, which states that sponsorship and advertising expenses should promote the company's reputation or support its sales.
Bequeath via a will either by making the Foundation the heir or by designating Herlufsholm as a legatee.
