Download or read book Taxing Cross border Services written by Angharad Miller and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tradability of services cross border has increased vastly since the provisions in the OECD and UN Model Tax Conventions were first developed. This book examines the factors used in these Models to connect an enterprise with the tax jurisdiction of a state for the purposes of allocating the tax base arising from cross-border enterprise services. It questions whether these factors produce an allocation of taxing rights which is acceptable to both multinational enterprises and tax authorities, in terms of satisfying any debt of economic allegiance and limiting base erosion. The connecting factors used, such as permanent establishment and location of the customer, are examined from theoretical and empirical standpoints: if they are considered acceptable, they should be found to be in widespread use, both in the domestic laws of states and in the network of bilateral double tax treaties.
Download or read book Cross Border Taxation of Permanent Establishments written by Andreas Waltrich and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The permanent establishment (PE) is a legal form of cross-border direct investment whereby a business presence is maintained as an integral part of the foreign investor. Due to the growing intensity and complexity of international business relations, the PE defi¬nition and the allocation of profi¬ts between head units and PEs have become highly contentious, especially from the perspectives of the major emerging economies of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). Unsurprisingly, the potential for tax avoidance and the scrutiny of tax authorities have increased enormously. Against this background, this work illustrates and compares the OECD Model Tax Convention with country-specifi¬c source taxation rules, focusing on possible tax system changes and offering reform proposals. Emphasizing the taxable implications of the various rules upon country-speci¬fic PE concepts, the author’s treatment covers such issues and topics as the following: – the PE de¬finition of the OECD MC and from the perspective of selected countries; – allocation of business pro¬fits under the Authorised OECD Approach (AOA); – avoidance of PE status; – implementation of a service PE proposal; – construction site PEs established by subcontractors; – existence of an agency PE; and – the OECD project on Base Erosion and Profi¬t Shifting (BEPS). The author uses simulated cross-border national and treaty cases to highlight qualifi¬cation conflicts, thus reinforcing his detailed discussion of source taxation rules of business profi¬ts and relevant case law in Germany, the United States, and the BRIC states. There is also a checklist detailing how companies can avoid unintentionally setting up a PE. The author’s deeply informed proposals provide much-needed guiding tax criteria and open the way to greater feasibility and transparency in PE taxation. Because the defi¬nition of PEs has enlarged and the treatment of profi¬t allocation has become more complex, the clari¬fication of the PE concept presented in this book is of inestimable importance for lawyers, of¬ficials, policymakers, and academics concerned with international business taxation in any jurisdiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language used in drafting contracts in information technology and digital transactions from an intellectual property protection perspective has been picked up by tax authorities and some courts this year resulting in adverse tax consequences. Taxation of cross-border transactions often involves a number of complex issues. In the case of cross-border payments, especially for the use of software, online facilities or IT infrastructure, one of the most litigated issues is the nature or characterization of these payments. Conflicting opinions have been expressed by different tribunals and courts on payments made to foreign services providers for cloud services or services on an online platform namely whether such payments should be considered as "royalty", "fee for technical services" (FTS) or just "business income". This characterization is significant as India's taxing rights under its tax treaties are different for different kinds of income. Remittance for royalty and FTS are subject to withholding tax in India. However, business income earned by a nonresident is generally not taxable in India unless such income may be attributed to a permanent establishment (PE) of such nonresident in India. As a result, the tax authorities often argue in favor of treating such remittances as royalty payment or FTS, where they are unable to make a strong case for the existence of a PE of a nonresident in India.

Download or read book VAT on Cross border Services written by S. Goeydeniz and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border services, especially if provided by means of modern technologies, are creating problems in VAT and other similar consumption taxes as mostly the transaction itself can barely be traced. An efficient system of allocating the taxing right by the jurisdictions involved and the enforcement over the persons involved does not seem to be sufficient these days. Not only the policy aims of taxing a supply at the place where the consumption takes place but also the fear of double taxation or non-taxation due to the different approaches dealing with the problem in issue show the relevance of dealing with this problem more deeply. As a starting point the European VAT system is used to show the problems concerning the place of supply rules, registration and administrative obligations, always having the question in mind, how an effective approach of monitoring and enforcing taxes on services which are provided via borders can be achieved.
Download or read book Taxation of Services in Treaties Between Developed and Developing Countries written by Fernando Souza de Man and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ease with which services are provided cross-border has increased considerably through the years, but this has not been reflected in the model conventions. Although this may not be an important issue when the flow of services between states is similar, it can have a huge impact on the collecting rights of states into which these services are mainly imported, such as developing countries. Nonetheless, developing countries? claims for more source taxation of services have been consistently neglected in model conventions.00With the intent of analysing whether the claims of developing countries are valid, as well as examining how the current system was structured, the author studies the legal and economic theories that support source and residence taxation and the historical documents concerning model conventions drafted by the League of Nations, the OECD and the United Nations. Furthermore, to better grasp the perspective of developing countries, the author analyses the situations of Brazil and India regarding the taxation of services in their domestic legislation and in their tax treaties, comparing the provisions of the latter with the current provisions in model tax conventions.
Download or read book Taxing Global Digital Commerce written by Arthur Cockfield and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital commerce – the use of computer networks to facilitate transactions involving the production, distribution, sale, and delivery of goods and services – has grown from merely streamlining relations between consumer and business to a much more robust phenomenon embracing efficient business processes within a firm and between firms. Inevitably, the related taxation issues have grown as well. This latest edition of the preeminent text on the taxation of digital transactions revises, updates and expands the book’s coverage. It includes a detailed and up-to-date analysis of income tax and VAT developments regarding digital commerce under the OECD and G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) reforms. It explores the implications of digital commerce for US state sales and use tax regimes resulting from the 2018 US Supreme Court decision in Wayfair. It discusses cross-border tax in the United States while continuing to focus on tax developments throughout the world. Analysing the practical tax consequences of digital commerce from a multijurisdictional perspective, and using examples to illustrate the application of different taxes to digital commerce transactions, the book offers in-depth treatment of such topics as the following: how tax rules governing cross-border digital commerce are increasingly applied to all cross-border activities; how tax rules and institutional processes have evolved to confront challenges posed by digital commerce; how an emerging ‘tax war’ is developing whereby different countries are unilaterally imposing new tax rules on cross-border digital commerce; how technology enhances tax and cross-border tax information exchanges; how technology reduces both compliance and enforcement costs; cross-border consumption tax issues raised by cloud computing; and different approaches to the legal design of VAT place of taxation rules. The authors offer insightful views on the likely development of new approaches to taxing cross-border digital commerce. This edition, while building on the analysis of the relationship between traditional tax laws and the Internet in the first edition and its predecessors, contains a more explicit and systematic consideration of digital commerce issues and the ongoing policy responses to them. Tax professionals and academics everywhere will welcome the important contribution it makes towards the design of cross-border tax rules that are both conceptually sound and practical in application. ‘A tour de force … much larger and richer than its predecessors … a massive contribution to the growing literature on the taxation of e-commerce.’ – Rita de la Feria, British Tax Review ‘Provides important understandings for ongoing policy discussions … I would warmly recommend.’ – P. Rendahl, World Journal of VAT/GST Law
