Federal decree-laws, executive regulations, and Cabinet, Ministerial and FTA decisions in full English wording, split into articles and cross-referenced, including the Commercial Companies, Family Companies, Commercial Register, Commercial Agencies and Bankruptcy laws, the beneficial ownership decisions and the economic substance resolution. Defined terms are clickable and amendment history is footnoted. Open any cited article in a side panel without leaving the page you are reading.
A Changes view shows additions and removals between versions of a text, colour-coded. A “law as at a date” view shows the wording in force on a date you choose. Repealed and replaced instruments are flagged.
40 worked examples carry a “Try it” button that opens the relevant calculator pre-filled with the example's figures, so you can change one input and see the effect.
