German term

einheitlicher wirtschaftlicher Geschäftsbetrieb

German to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs tax law
This is part of an "Anlage zum Bescheid über Körperschaftsteuer"

"Die Steuerpflicht erstreckt sich auf den von der Körperschaft unterhaltenen ***(einheitlichen) wirtschaftlichen Geschäftsbetrieb***. Im übrigen ist die Körperschaft von der Körperschaftsteuer befreit, weil sie ausschließlich und unmittelbar steuerbegünstigten mildtätigen und gemeinnützigen Zwecken im Sinne der §§ 51 ff. AO dient."

I was thinking of "commercial activities" for "wirtschaftlicher Geschäftsbetrieb", but I don't know how to translate "einheitlich" in this context.

Thanks.

consistent commercial activity

This is a guess on my part, but I have come across the term "sustained and consistent commercial activity" (also as a characteristic, according to which is decided whether such activity is subject to taxation).

The word "einheitlich" can be translated as "consistent" (see, for example, http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType... ).

unitary commercial activity

What they mean is that the business is one single operation in commercial terms (whatever that might mean!). I can only think of unitary, but maybe others might have a better suggestion
