Анотація: Проєкт директиви, відомий як ATAD III, спрямовано на запобігання використанню транзитних компаній для ухилення від сплати податків та уникнення оподаткування, має потенційний вплив на інвестиційні фонди, які в даний час користуються податковими директивами та угодами ЄС. ATAD III направлений на введення єдиного для всіх країн — членів ЄС тесту для визначення того, чи компанія є транзитною для цілей оподаткування. Враховуючи прагнення законодавця ЄС, щоб ATAD ІІІ набув чинності досить швидко і що поточний контрольний період уже розпочався 1 січня 2022 р., компаніям, які, можливо, підпадають під дію ATAD ІІІ, необхідно терміново оцінити вплив ATAD ІІІ на структуру своєї групи та внести зміни, де це доречно.
Abstract: The draft directive, known as ATAD III, aims to prevent the use of transit companies for tax evasion and avoidance, and has a potential impact on investment funds that currently benefit from EU tax directives and agreements.
The provisions of the proposed Directive will be applicable to any enterprise that is considered a tax resident or has the right to obtain a certificate of tax residence in an EU member state, regardless of its organizational and legal form. The targets are businesses that have no real economic activity and are used solely for tax avoidance and evasion and allow their beneficial owners or group to obtain tax benefits.
ATAD III aims to introduce a single EU-wide test for determining whether a company is a transit company for tax purposes, the minimum criteria of which are essentially the following: having its own office premises or premises for exclusive use in the relevant EU Member State; holding at least one active bank account in the EU; the presence of a local director who deals exclusively with this group and/or employees who work full-time and live in close proximity to its activities.
Given the desire of the EU legislator for ATAD III to enter into force fairly quickly, and that the current control period has already started on 1 January 2022, companies potentially subject to ATAD III need to urgently assess the impact of ATAD III on their group structure and make changes where appropriate.
