International tax talk quarterly series with the EY Global Tax Desk Network

Recent global developments around interest deductibility and withholding taxes, including administrative guidance released in December 2023 by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), may create new complexities for companies engaging in cross-border intercompany cash repatriation and financing. Join our Global Tax Desk professionals to learn how the following releases and announcements in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe could necessitate action:

• December 2023 OECD Pillar Two administrative guidance impacting the transitional country-by-country reporting safe harbor when entering certain “hybrid arbitrage arrangements” 
• A forthcoming report by the Australian Senate Economics Legislation Committee on proposed reforms to Australia’s interest limitation rules 
• German proposals around interest deduction limitations, such as tightening of the general 30% EBITDA rule and separate rules for cross-border intercompany financing
