Tuesday, February 8 | International tax talk quarterly series…With the EY Global Tax Desk Network (1 pm ET)

Potential impact of the EU UNSHELL/ATAD 3 initiative on your business and the international tax landscape

The European Commission recently published a legislative proposal for a directive to tackle the misuse of shell entities in the European Union (UNSHELL/ATAD 3). The proposal would introduce an EU-wide “substance test,” including a reporting obligation for certain taxpayers, along with relevant tax consequences, such as the denial of treaty benefits and onerous penalties for noncompliance.

This webcast will address how implementation of these new requirements could affect businesses. At a high level, the webcast will also consider the impact these provisions are likely to have in other regions with respect to similar anti-abuse rules and reporting requirements, as well as these countries’ responses to increased tax transparency in recent years.

We will focus on the impact these new developments could have for multinational enterprises (MNEs) with operations in and outside the EU, particularly in the Asia Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean regions.
