Book Description
This book discusses whether elements of the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) meet the requirements of potential common European tax accounting rules. The analysis is based on general principles of taxation and on a comprehensive comparative survey of selected IFRS and tax accounting rules for all 25 EU member states (conducted by the universities of Goettingen, Mannheim, and Erlangen-Nuremberg with the support of PricewaterhouseCoopers). It concludes that, in principle, there is no irresolvable conflict between IFRS and the current tax accounting rules in the member states. After an introduction the book considers the general principles of taxation, followed by a comparative survey of IFRS and tax accounting rules in the EU member states, including taxation of corporations, determination of income, recognition, initial measurement, subsequent measurement, and special areas: pensions, leasing, treatment of domestic and foreign losses, and group taxation. Then follows an analysis of common and fundamental accounting principles, including conceptual accounting principles, accrual principles, treatment of losses, and definition of a group and consolidation. The appendices show how each country computes taxable income and grants tax incentives.

European Union Corporate Tax Law
Author: Christiana HJI Panayi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107354986
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
How does EU law affect Member State corporate tax systems and the cross-border activities of companies? This unique study traces the historical development of EU corporate tax law and provides an in-depth analysis of a number of issues affecting companies, groups of companies and permanent establishments. Existing legislation, soft-law and the case-law of the Court of Justice are examined. The proposed CCCTB Directive and its potential application through enhanced co-operation are also considered. In addition to the tax issues pertaining to direct investment, the author examines the taxation of passive investment income, corporate reorganisations, exit taxes and the restrictive effect of domestic anti-abuse regimes. By doing so, the convergences and divergences arising from the interplay of EU corporate tax law and international tax law, especially the OECD model, are uncovered and highlighted.

Double Taxation Within the European Union
Author: Alexander Rust
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789041135254
Category : Double taxation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Despite the conclusion of tax treaties and despite the enactment of several directives, double taxation continues to occur within the EU, causing severe obstacles for cross-border trade, for the provision of services and capital, and for the free movement of persons. This book collects the expert analysis and recommendations on the following issues: the reasons for the existence (and persistence) of juridical and economic double taxation; double burdens in criminal law; constitutional limits for double taxation; the Lisbon Treaty's abolition of Article 293 EC, which had required Member States to conclude tax treaties in order to abolish double taxation; whether double taxation can be avoided by the application of the four freedoms; prospects for an EU-wide multilateral tax treaty; the proposed Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base; and use of arbitration clauses in tax treaties.

Common Corporate Tax Base (CC(C)TB) and Determination of Taxable Income
Author: Christoph Spengel
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642284337
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The study conducted by the Centre of European Economic Research (ZEW), the University of Mannheim and Ernst & Young contributes to the ongoing evaluation of the proposal for a Draft Council Directive on a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CC(C)TB) released by the European Commission on March 16, 2011. For the first time, details on the determination of taxable income under the proposed Council Directive are compared to prevailing corporate tax accounting regulations in all 27 Member States, Switzerland and the US. The study presents evidence on the scope of differences and similarities between national tax accounting regulations and the Directive’s treatment in a complete, yet concise form. Based on this comprehensive comparison, it goes on to discuss remaining open questions and adjustments needed if the Directive is to be implemented in national tax law. Readers seeking a basis for taking an active part in the public debate will find a valuable source of information and a first impression of how the proposed CC(C)TB would affect corporate tax burdens in the European Union.

A Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base for Europe – Eine einheitliche Körperschaftsteuerbemessungsgrundlage für Europa
Author: Wolfgang Schön
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540794840
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Preface This book contains the proceedings of the International Tax Conference on the c- th th mon consolidated corporate tax base (CCCTB) that was held in Berlin on 15 – 16 may 2007. The conference was jointly organised by the German Federal Ministry of Finance, the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), Mannheim, and the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law, Munich. More than 250 participants from all over Europe and other regions, scholars, politicians, business people and tax administrators, discussed the Eu- pean Commission’s proposal to establish a CCCTB. Three panels of tax experts evaluated the common tax base with respect to structural elements, consolidation, allocation, international aspects and administration. The conference made clear that the CCCTB has the potential to overcome some of the most intriguing problems of corporate income taxation within the Common Market. Common tax accounting rules substantially reduce compliance and administrative costs. Consolidation of a group’s profits and losses effects cro- border loss compensation which removes a major tax obstacle for European cro- border investment. At the same time, tax planning with respect to financing and transfer pricing is pushed back within the European Union. Moreover, as far as the CCCTB applies, member states are able to remove tax provisions that are targeted at cross border tax evasion and that might be challenged by the jurisdiction of the Eu- pean Court of Justice.
