PAST EVENTS
10 November
Module 1: Implementing alternative investments in the post-BEPS era: Considering the impact of new tax rules (ATAD1 & 2, MLI)
This training was of significant importance for independent directors that need to have a clear understanding of the new tax environment applicable to alternative investments such as private equity, private debt, real estate and infrastructure. This course provided an overview of new tax rules such as the interest limitation rules, and the hybrid mismatch rules that have been implemented across Europe following the OECD BEPS project. As such, participants learnt about the points of attention that need to be considered when implementing or maintaining cross-border investments.

17 November
Module 2: The importance of substance
This training was of significant importance for independent directors that need to have a clear understanding of substance requirements in international taxation. While substance has always been important for Luxembourg companies that frequently operate in a cross-border context, the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project only elevated their importance in an international tax environment that is characterised by total transparency. The more recent initiative of the EU Commission in regard to shell entities is evidence that the topic of substance remained high on the agenda.

24 November
Module 3: Transfer pricing in the context of Alternative Investments
This training was of significant importance for independent directors that need to have a clear understanding of the relevance of transfer pricing and related documentation when it comes to tax risk management. While transfer pricing has been a hot topic in Luxembourg since years, the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project only elevated its importance in an international tax environment that is characterised by maximum transparency.

01 December
Module 4: The Mandatory Disclosure Regime (DAC6)
This training was of significant importance for independent directors that need to have a clear understanding of the mandatory disclosure regime (“MDR”) of potentially aggressive tax planning schemes in the EU (covering cross-border arrangements since June 2018), how to determine reportable cross-border arrangements in practice and how taxpayers (and intermediaries) may ensure compliance.
Our Tax Partner, Romain Tiffon, and our Tax Principal, Fanny Bueb, were present alongside Oliver on this topic.
