New OECD report addresses hybrid mismatch arrangements
In the latest of a series of reports focusing on aggressive tax planning, the OECD describes the most common types of hybrid mismatch arrangements (i.e., arrangements exploiting differences in the tax treatment of instruments, entities or transfers between two or more countries) and the effects they aim to achieve. Concluding that the same concern that exists in relation to distortions caused by double taxation exists in relation to unintended double non-taxation, the report makes a number of specific recommendations to countries to address the policy issues.

European Commission Commences Consultation on Double Non-Taxation

The European Commission (the Commission) announced on 29 February that it commenced a fact-finding public consultation in order to establish evidence concerning double non-taxation, both within the European Union (EU) and in relation to non-EU countries.
