EU to decide on international tax advice
International tax advice decision due
A potentially landmark month ahead for companies offering international tax advice in Luxembourg, with EU finance ministers hoping to reach an agreement by March on a directive that requires a unified EU approach to taxation, particularly in relation to wealthy individuals and large corporations.
A recent meeting, held in Brussels on February 12, was largely successful. Member states appeared to agree that multinationals should submit country-by-country, detailing such data as revenues, profits, income tax paid and the number of employees a company has.
However, in other news for clients of international tax advice in Luxembourg, EU ministers were less enamoured with proposed new rules demanding a stricter approach to deductibility, controlled foreign corporation rules and hybrid mismatch rules.
UK Chancellor George Osborne said ministers should make progress on BEPS agreements and transfer pricing a priority.
Similarly, Luxembourg finance minister Pierre Gramegna expressed his view that the OECD/G20 BEPS stipulations in the anti-tax avoidance directive should be the first item on the agenda for ministers, but warned that ministers should first receive an impact assessment to help them gain a better understanding of the key issues, particularly the competitiveness or otherwise of the EU.
