The Commission’s Tax Code of Conduct Committee is scheduled to come up with a provisional blacklist behind closed doors by September 2017, with the 28 EC member states giving the final rubberstamp of approval before the list and potential menu of sanctions goes live.<\/p>\n

The four kinds of sanctions under the spotlight, according to papers seen by Bloomberg<\/em>, cover withholding taxes, new controlled foreign company rules, elimination of deductible costs such as royalties, and participation exemption limitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdentifying specific countermeasures will not mean agreement on their implementation in all cases,\u201d the document stated \u201cThere may be arguments for applying different countermeasures for different jurisdictions or in different contexts or that member states should be allowed flexibility on which measures they should apply.\u201d<\/p>\n

The document also stated that sanctions imposed by EU member countries should be \u201cappropriate in the context of their national tax legislation. It has been suggested that the type of countermeasures to be applied vis-a-vis the various jurisdictions should differ according to the respective specifics of a situation (e.g. political and economic) and the issues that their assessment will raise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flexible approach<\/h3>\n

The flexible approach would allow EU member countries to treat the list of sanctions as a menu from which to choose, it added: \u201cThis option allows a maximum flexibility but can perhaps be considered as complicated\u201d. There are 92 countries under scrutiny by EU member state officials to determine the blacklist, based on tax transparency and corporate tax criteria. The countries include the US, Switzerland and a selection of Latin American countries such as Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
