About this book: The EU Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base: Critical Analysis serves as a guide to the major development in EU tax law, the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) proposal. In October 2016, the European Commission relaunched its plan to harmonize national income tax systems via the CCCTB by introducing a single set of rules to calculate companies' taxable profits in the EU. This timely book offers an early analysis of this important proposal and its implications, covering issues such as the project's scope and main elements, international considerations, the relationship with OECD's base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) initiative, consolidation, and anti-abuse rules. What's in this book: With carefully selected papers first presented at a January 2017 conference hosted by the Amsterdam Centre for Tax Law, this volume focuses on such topics and issues as the following: ways in which the proposed CCCTB is designed to preserve the competence of Member States to set their tax rates; reduction of the administrative burden for multinational companies; incentives for research and development; automatic cross-border relief within the EU; detailed analysis of the proposal's formula apportionment regime; proposed new controlled foreign (CFC) rules; and interest limitation rule. How this will help you: Because of the commitment of many Member States to keep their corporate income tax systems competitive on a stand-alone basis, the proposed CCCTB is enormously controversial and is perhaps the most ambitious reform of EU tax law ever attempted. As a detailed assessment of the reform, this book provides authoritative insights into problems likely to arise and discusses the prospect of how to implement the proposal. Thus, this book proves to be of immeasurable value to taxation policymakers, practitioners, and academics to apply this reform confidently across international boundaries.
