France publishes French Public Register of Trusts decree

In response to the "Panama papers" revelations, France announced on April 11, its intention to "make public its own register of beneficial owners of trusts" and encouraged other countries to do likewise. Following the issuance of the decree dated May 10 (Decree 2016-567), the register is currently expected to be made available online to the public as of June 30.

A Tax Alert prepared by Ernst & Young France, and attached below, provides additional details.
