This book provides a concise, practical guide to the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD). Presenting unique insights into the ATAD’s five specific anti-avoidance rules, its chapters explain the background of those rules, the directive’s interactions with relevant jurisprudence, and the challenges posed to the ATAD’s interpretation and implementation in domestic law.
The EU’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD), implemented in January 2019, confronts Member States with complex challenges, particularly via the introduction of an interest limitation rule. This timely book, the first in-depth analysis of the features and implications of the directive, provides insightful and practical discussions by experts from around Europe on the crucial interactions of the ATAD with other existing anti-tax avoidance measures, the European financial sector and the fundamental freedoms. Specific issues and topics covered include the following: relation with the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Sharing project (BEPS) and the EU’s Common Corporate Tax Base initiative; technical subjects relating to corporate taxation and debt funding; problems caused by the diametrically opposite tax treatment of debt and equity within a group of companies; exclusion clauses for interest expenses; and interplay between interest limitation rules and anti-hybrid rules. A comparative analysis of implementation issues in four leading Member States—Germany, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands—as well as a global general survey with regard to interest limitation rules allow readers to assess the particular complexities associated to the implementation of the ATAD. This matchless commentary by leading European tax law academics and practitioners on an important and much-debated item of EU legislation gives practitioners, enterprises and tax authorities an early opportunity to understand the practical effects of the directive in the various Member States.

Following each Member State's need to rebuild a strong and stable economy after the 2007 financial crisis, the European Union (EU) has developed a robust new transparency framework with binding anti-abuse measures and stronger instruments to challenge external threats of base erosion. This is the first and only book to provide a complete detailed analysis of the Anti-Tax Avoidance Package and other recent and ongoing European actions taken in direct taxation. With contributions from both prominent tax academics and Spain's delegates to the European meetings where these rules are debated and promulgated, the book covers such issues and topics as the following: – the development of the EU Strategy towards Aggressive Tax Planning; – recent tax-related jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice; – the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive; – tax treaties and non-tax treaties with tax consequences both between Member States and between Member States and third countries; – code of conduct for business taxation; – automatic exchange of information; – country-by-country reporting; – arbitration in tax matters; – external strategy for effective taxation regarding non-EU countries; – competition and state aid developments in direct taxation; – the Common Consolidated Tax Base; and – digital significant presence and permanent establishment. As the EU pursues its ambitious tax agenda, taxation's contribution to EU growth and competitiveness and its part in relations with the rest of the world will come into ever clearer focus. In addition to its insights into these trends, the book's unparalleled practical information and analysis will be of great value to tax practitioners dealing with investment analysis, tax planning schemes, and other features of the current international tax landscape.
On 12 July 2016, the Council of the European Union adopted the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (the Directive). The implementation of the rules in the Directive will have several tax consequences at the EU level. This paper provides some brief technical background, describing the adopted rules and their prospective effects.
In this article, the author discusses the challenges of implementing the EU anti-tax-avoidance directive (ATAD). He looks at some of the things that could go wrong, the choices now facing EU member states in implementing the EU rules, and if and when taxpayers can expect to notice the changes.
This article discusses the EU anti-tax-avoidance directive and the ways in which it overlaps with the recommendations in the OECD's base erosion and profit-shifting project.
In this article, the authors examine how the EU's second anti-tax-avoidance directive will affect payments from EU entitites to subchapter S corporations in the United States, specifically focusing on the taxation of payments from a Dutch BV (a limited liability company) to a U.S. parent.
The EU Directive laying down rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the Internal Market - the so-called Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD) - was adopted on 12 July 2016. It has become one of the core vehicles for implementing the output of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative, a process led by the G20 and the OECD, at the EU level. The ATAD has imposed a legally binding obligation upon EU member states to incorporate the conclusions of Action 2 (hybrid mismatch arrangements), Action 3 (controlled foreign company (CFC) rules) and Action 4 (interest deductions) of the BEPS in their domestic laws and regulations, and it has secured a certain uniformity of national implementing measures across the EU by imposing a common minimum level of protection. In addition, the ATAD has also set out a general anti-abuse rule (GAAR) and exit tax provisions, which further strengthen the EU's baseline protection of tax revenues. The potential impact of this milestone Directive on the internal market and the tax systems of member states in a short- to long-term period is still to be evaluated. This article offers preliminary thoughts, focusing primarily on the UK's perspective. The author first briefly addresses possible consequences for the EU as a whole, and then analyses the ATAD from the UK's point of view, showing how the adoption of this Directive fits into a broader UK tax policy and law both prior to and following the Brexit vote.
The EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive of 12 July 2016 (ATAD) introduced common minimum standards for fighting tax avoidance practices by the Member States of the EU. Besides interest limitation rules, rules on exit taxation, general anti-abuse rules as well as measures against hybrid mismatches, the ATA Directive provides minimum standards for the treatment of Controlled foreign corporations (CFCs). The author states that it is evident that the respective provisions follow, at least partly, the handwriting of the German CFC Rules, which are the oldest within the European Union (EU) and rank among the oldest in the world. In this context, the article critically reviews the provisions of the ATA Directive regarding CFC Rules, taking into account the experience with the German CFC legislation.
The proposal for a directive on 'Rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market' was one of two legislative proposals of the 28 January 2016 European Commission 'anti-tax-avoidance package'. Linked with the OECD/G20 Base erosion and profit shifting action plan (BEPS), it targets schemes where corporate taxpayers operating businesses in several countries take advantage of disparities and loopholes to reduce their tax bills. The objective is to realign corporate taxation with the relevant business substance (income) of the corporate taxpayer, fighting against aggressive corporate tax avoidance. The proposal for a directive sets legally binding minimum standards for six practices. Three of these are included in the BEPS action plan (interest limitation rules, controlled foreign company rules, and rules on hybrid mismatches). The other three (a general anti-abuse rule, exit taxation rules and a switchover clause) came out of discussions on the common consolidated corporate tax base (CCCTB) proposal. As a tax measure, Parliament is only consulted, with the proposal adopted by the Council. As finally adopted, the directive covers all these six aspects with the exception of the switchover clause and changes to the rules on the controlled foreign companies (CFC) rules.
