Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of notion, roots und measures of treaty abuse The OECD initiative on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting has put the issue of treaty abuse and the means to counter it on top of the global political agenda. Preventing treaty abuse is therefore currently one of the most debated topics in international tax law. Diverging national legal traditions in combatting abuse both under domestic and tax treaty law have led to a globally diversified legal framework in this respect and make the OECD’s agenda to harmonize these attempts even more challenging. The aim of this book is to analyze the notion of treaty abuse, its historical roots and the measures to counter it. The book’s topics cover a wide range of both policy and legal issues. The contributions’ main focus lies onanalyzing the proposals put forward by the OECD in BEPS action items 6 and 7. In addition, this book analyzes the lessons which can be learnt from the US tax treaty policy and elaborates on the effects the intensified fight against treaty abuse will have from a Non-OECD member state perspective. Also EU law is taken into account and the question raised which impact the fundamental freedoms might have on the development of new anti-avoidance rules. Finally the relation between domestic and treaty based anti-avoidance is analyzed in great detail, identifying the methodical problems of ensuring a sound and abuse safe legal framework. With this book, the authors and editors hope to contribute to the discussion on selected issues of preventing treaty abuse and the challenges they present to policy makers, judges, tax administrations and tax advisers.

Download or read book Anti Abuse Rules and Tax Treaties written by Georg Kofler et al. and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the struggle to combat tax abuse and tax avoidance gains momentum, ways of making a tax jurisdiction ‘manipulation-proof’ continue to proliferate, from new or revised provisions in model tax treaties to a dramatic increase in the number and variety of anti-abuse and anti-avoidance rules at all levels of government. These measures interact with national tax systems, general anti-abuse clauses and tax treaties. The conflicts and other legal difficulties that inevitably result deserve intensive scrutiny. This book provides an in-depth analysis of current issues concerning the relations of various anti-abuse rules to each other and their impact on the application of tax treaties. The topics include the following: domestic general anti-avoidance rules (GAARs); domestic specific anti-avoidance rules (SAARs) (including controlled foreign company rules); minimum holding periods; indirect transfers of immovable property, shares, and rights; limitation on benefits; residence criteria in tax treaties; tax treatment of sportspersons and entertainers; the principal purpose test of Article 29 (9) OECD Model (2017); and influence of European Union Law on tax treaty abuse. The chapters are revised and expanded versions of papers presented at the 30th Viennese Symposium on International Tax Law held on 12 June 2023 at Vienna University of Economics and Business. Each author offers an in-depth analysis of a particular topic, drawing on the most recent scientific research. This is the only book available to offer such a wide-ranging, detailed, and practical analysis of how the full range of anti-abuse rules interacts with tax treaties. It will prove of immeasurable value to practitioners and law firms active in tax planning, tax consultants, academics and researchers in international tax law and counsel for companies involved in international business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multilateral Convention To Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures To Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI) came into force on 1 July 2018, and has been signed by more than 80 jurisdictions, including Canada. This MLI has been described as "a historical turning point in the area of international taxation"; it introduces a third layer of rules for the taxation of cross-border transactions, in addition to domestic tax law and bilateral tax treaties. Of the many provisions of the MLI, the most important are the preamble text in article 6(1) and the general anti-avoidance provision - the so-called principal purpose test (PPT) - in article 7(1). Both of these provisions have been adopted by all signatories to the MLI in order to satisfy the OECD's minimum standard on tax treaty abuse under BEPS Action 6. This two-part article considers the structure and potential application of the PPT in the context of pre-BEPS responses to perceived tax treaty abuses, the OECD's work on BEPS Action 6, and other provisions of the MLI, including the preamble text in article 6(1). This first part of the article reviews pre-BEPS responses to perceived tax treaty abuses, providing necessary background and context for understanding BEPS Action 6, the MLI, and the PPT. The second part examines the PPT in light of this background and in the context of BEPS Action 6 and other provisions of the MLI, considering the structure of this provision and the kinds of transactions or arrangements to which it might apply.

This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the currently main challenges of International Tax Law is addressing the treaty abuse deployed by various multinationals. These, leveraging on their freedom of movement and establishment, have the chance to refine and enlighten their tax burdens by involving third countries and their tax relationships, eventually achieving arguable and controversial profits. At this regard, seen the inefficiency of Bilateral Tax Treaties and the constraints arising from European Law, various legal devices were tested but none of them led to a proper solution. The countermeasure planned by the OECD may finally help resolving these issues: a Multilateral Tax Treaty. Yet, this still needs a proper tailoring, hence why an International Conference was announced for 2015. Therefore, what is a Multilateral Tax Treaty and can it face this challenge? How should it be drafted and which provisions should it contain? With this paper, I will try to provide an answer to these questions above and explaining how a possible failure could lead to a utterly grim scenario. Moreover, based on both current knowledge and personal prompts, I will try to hypothesise which provisions should this contain.

Book excerpt: In October 2015, the OECD released its final deliverable on Action 6 that is dedicated to prevent the granting of treaty benefits in inappropriate circumstances. In order to determine the most appropriate manner to prevent the granting of treaty benefits, the final deliverable differentiates between two situations. The first situation deals with cases where a taxpayer tries to abuse tax treaty provisions, for example, by engaging in treaty shopping schemes. For such cases, the final deliverable suggests the adoption of treaty anti-abuse rules. The second situation deals with cases where a taxpayer tries to avoid the application of domestic anti-abuse rules (anti-abuse rules which counter treaty abuse as well as domestic law abuse), by arguing that the provisions of tax treaties preclude the application of such rules. For such cases, clarification changes are proposed in the OECD Commentary. The contribution comments on these anti-abuse rules and answers two questions from a policy perspective. Firstly, when countering treaty abuse - should tax authorities resort to treaty anti-abuse or domestic anti-abuse rules? Secondly, how do domestic anti-avoidance rules interact with tax treaties?

Download or read book Multilateral Cooperation in Tax Law written by Martin Klokar and published by Linde Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth analysis of various aspects of multilateral cooperation in tax law Tax evasion and aggressive tax planning causing base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) has been a widely discussed topic among academics and tax policy makers over the past decades. Increasing globalization and digitalization have contributed to the intensification of this issue in recent years. At the same time, states continue to largely insist on their sovereignty in the area of tax law. However, due to their cross-border nature, issues related to BEPS are shared problems among the states and can typically not be solved by a single nation. Therefore, multilateral cooperation represents an option to build a bridge between the states’ demand for sovereignty and the problems caused by BEPS. In this regard, the OECD, the UN, and the EU play an important role in introducing international tax standards in an attempt to effectively address tax evasion and aggressive tax planning in many ways. The interaction and cooperation between different international, supranational (EU), and regional organizations is an ongoing process. In this context, the topic "Multilateral Cooperation in Tax Law" was selected as the general topic for the master’s theses of the part-time 2021-23 class of the postgraduate LL.M. programme in International Tax Law at WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business). This volume aims to develop academic insights, provide practical guidance, and enable an in-depth analysis of various aspects of this topic. The book is divided into four parts. The first part deals with a general overview of the understanding of multilateral cooperation, the background that led to the need for multilateral cooperation and the different stakeholders that play a relevant role in it. While the chapters included in the second part focus on the most important developments on an international level (OECD and UN), the chapters encompassed in the third part analyse the multilateral cooperation initiatives of the EU. Finally, the chapters included in part four deal with selected issues related to multilateral cooperation in tax law, including mutual assistance and exchange of information, dispute resolution mechanisms, and measures in digitalized businesses.
