Latest developments in the area of EU and OECD anti-tax avoidance measures and their impact on Czech businesses and tax management
The OECD’s BEPS project and corresponding EU anti-tax avoidance measures are changing the tax environment.
We will discuss latest development in this area with a focus on EU legislation that the Czech Republic is obliged to implement. On general examples, we will demonstrate the possible impact of the proposed measures on the deductibility of loan interest, the use of holding companies, payments of royalties and dividends and the concept of permanent establishments.
We will discuss the multilateral instrument for BEPS tax treaty measures, which should change double tax treaties concluded by the Czech Republic. We will look at its effect on the taxation of certain transactions.
