L'analyse en droit comparé, français italien, des méthodes de lutte contre l'évasion fiscale internationale pratiquée par les grandes entreprises via les prix de transfert / Study in french italian comparative law, methods of struggle against tax avoidance used by private society through transfer pricing / L’analisi comparata dei metodi adottati negli ordinamenti statali, francese e italiano, per combattere l’evasione fiscale internazionale delle società di rilevanti dimensione via i prezzi di trasferimentoMezouar, Mehdi 27 March 2014 (has links)
Le but de ma thèse est d'améliorer les conditions de lutte contre la manipulation des prix de transfert en instaurant des dispositifs légaux qui tiennent comptes de la réalité économique des entreprises d'un même groupe. Le commerce intragroupe représente 60% du commerce mondial, il est donc essentiel d'obliger les groupes multinationaux ainsi que les différentes administrations notamment européennes à un dialogue constructif en vue de sécuriser les finances publiques de chaque Etat mais également la fiscalité des ces sociétés en leurs évitant ainsi d'éventuels rehaussement et en écartant la problématique de la double imposition. Pour ce faire notre analyse s'est portée en 1ère lieu sur la valeur des biens et services ou comment quantifier cette valeur conformément à notre conception économique libérale. Puis nous avons apporté un regard critique sur la théorie et la pratique du droit fiscal en la matière en adoptant une approche comparée entre la France et l'Italie. Le but étant d'améliorer l'existant et de créer de nouveaux moyens tel l'Accord Préalable Européen sur les Prix de Transfert qui imposeraient à nos Etats Membres d'aboutir à une entente quant au traitement fiscal à pratiquer sur les prix de transfert au sein d'un groupe situé sur le sol européen. Puis afin de renforcer l'effectivité des rectifications fiscales des groupes multinationaux nous proposons la mise en place de l'Agence Européenne de la Vérification Fiscale (AEVF) qui jouirait d'une certaine autonomie et dont la fonction serait d'effectuer des vérifications sur les plus grands groupes situés en Europe et de proposer une rectification commune solutionnant ainsi le problème de la double imposition. / The aim of my thesis is to improve the fight against manipulation of transfer pricing by introducing legal mechanisms that take account of the economic reality of the same group of companies . Intra-company trade accounts for 60 % of world trade , it is essential to require multinational groups as well as various European governments in particular to a constructive dialogue in order to secure public finances of each State, but also the taxation of these companies in their thus avoiding potential enhancement and spreading the problem of double taxation. To do our analysis is carried in the first place on the value of goods and services or how to quantify this value in accordance with our liberal economic theory . Then we took a look at ciritique the theory and practice of tax law in this area by adopting a comparative approach between France and Italy . The goal is to improve existing and create new ways such as the European Agreement Preventive Accord on tranfer pricing which impose our Member States to reach an agreement on the tax treatment practice on transfer pricing within a group on European territory. And to enhance the effectiveness of tax correction multinational groups we propose the establishment of the European Agency for Tax Audit (EATA) who would enjoy a certain autonomy and whose function is to conduct audits on larger groups located in Europe and propose a common rectification and solving the problem of double taxation.

Previous issue date: 2015-11-24 / The purpose of this study is to present the conclusion regarding the analysis of the a
sample of Administrative Board of Tax Appeals CARF case laws involving tax planning, focused
on the identification of the grounds of these decisions.
In the first part, constitutional institutes concerning to the matter were carefully
explored, with a special highlight for the lawfulness, tipicity and fiscal capacity principles. In
addition, it was also subject to our review the defects of the legal transactions, since the majority of
CARF decisions relies on them to disregard the acts conducted by taxpayers.
From the empirical research, it was noted certain common qualities related to the
sample of decisions under analysis, which revealed that transactions that imply on tax saving,
structured through indirect legal acts, and performed within a short period of time and between
related parties are likely significant characteristics at CARF s trials. Besides that, it called our
attention the magnitude of influence that the so called business purpose has on the judgment
process by CARF´s judges.
The results suggest that, despite the discrepancy regarding the qualification of the
illicit act (sham, fraud, abuse of rights, etc...), transactions with similar characteristics tend to have
the same outcome when it comes to decision reasoning. In fact, the study supports that there is
hegemony of use of the sham institute to base the disregard of acts, mostly on the grounds of lack of
business purpose to justify the practice by taxpayers.
At last, we critically analyzed the reasoning of such decisions based on pre-juridical
criteria. We stressed our opinion that the assessment of the tax law should not depend on external
factors, such as the time taken between the transactions, their parties or even the existence of such a
subjective concept as business purpose, in breach of lawfulness and tipicity principles / Neste trabalho, apresentamos as conclusões da pesquisa jurisprudencial realizada
junto ao Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais CARF, em casos envolvendo planejamento
tributário, com o enfoque de identificar a fundamentação dessas decisões.
Como ponto de partida, analisamos cuidadosamente os institutos constitucionais
afetos à matéria, sendo especialmente destacados os princípios da legalidade, tipicidade e capacidade
contributiva. Neste contexto, também foi objeto de estudo os vícios dos negócios jurídicos e
institutos correlatos, já que a maioria das decisões do CARF os utiliza como fundamento para
possibilitar a desconsideração de atos praticados pelos contribuintes.
Neste contexto, da pesquisa empírica, pudemos notar a existência de certas
características presentes nas decisões dos casos selecionados, que nos fizeram concluir que operações
que impliquem economia de tributos, alcançadas por meio de negócios jurídicos indiretos, compostas
por atos encadeados em curto espaço de tempo e realizados entre partes relacionadas são algumas das
propriedades relevantes nos julgamentos da matéria pelo CARF. Além disso, nos chamou a atenção a
magnitude de influência que o chamado propósito negocial tem sobre a tomada de decisão pelos
julgadores do CARF.
Foi possível notarmos que, a despeito de eventual discrepância com relação à
tipificação do ilícito (simulação, fraude, abuso de direito e etc...), operações com características
semelhantes tendem a ter suas decisões fundamentadas da mesma forma. Em realidade, o que
pudemos concluir foi a hegemonia da utilização do instituto da simulação para embasar a
desconsideração dos atos praticados, na maioria dos casos, sob o argumento de não haver propósito
negocial apto a justificar a conduta realizada pelos contribuintes.
Por fim, analisamos criticamente a fundamentação dessas decisões em critérios préjurídicos.
Enfatizamos nossa opinião de que a incidência da norma jurídica tributária não deve
depender de fatores externos ao Direito, tais como o tempo decorrido entre as operações, as partes
que a realizaram ou até mesmo a existência ou não de conceito tão subjetivo como é o propósito
negocial, sob pena de macularmos o princípio da legalidade e da tipicidade

Previous issue date: 2014-08-19 / Complementary Law No. 104/2001 inserted the sole paragraph to Article 116 of the National Tax Code. Since such a provision was inserted in Chapter III of the Tax Codex, which deals with the triggering event and, specifically, in Article 116, for the regulation of the time of its occurrence, we would be facing a general rule that would affect the observation of occurrence of such a legal phenomenon. Given this legislative innovation of general application in the legal and tax relations, initially we analyze the interaction with the other elements that make up the national legal system, and verify its formal and material adequacy. Particularly given the immense thematic relevance of the topic and its regency in Tax Law as subsystem, we analyze the Principle of Legality, its scope and developments, to foster the engagement of provisions and effects brought with the insertion of the sole paragraph to Article 116 of the National Tax Code. Also, by the very result of such an analysis, we started to check the content, scope and consequences of the principle of legal certainty, which has an unquestionably great level abstraction and penetration into the national legal system in order to confront its corollary and impositions with the legal content and consequences of the instrument under investigation. Likewise, we address the institutes and subjects related to the central object of study, giving a greater depth to reflect on their compliance with the principles analyzed and on other general rules governing the Tax Law in Brazil. At the end, before all observations made on the subject, we promote the proper completion of the study / A Lei Complementar nº 104/2001 acrescentou ao artigo 116 do Código Tributário Nacional o seu parágrafo único. Posto que tal dispositivo foi inserido no Capítulo III do Codex tributário, que trata da ocorrência do fato gerador e, especificamente, no seu artigo 116, destinado à regulamentação do momento da sua ocorrência, estaríamos diante de uma norma geral que afetaria a constatação de ocorrência de tal fenômeno jurídico. Diante dessa inovação legislativa de alcance geral nas relações jurídico-tributárias, inicialmente analisa-se a sua interação com os demais elementos que compõem o sistema jurídico nacional, verificando sua adequação, formal e material. Particularmente, em face da imensa pertinência temática ao tema e à sua regência na seara do Direito Tributário como subsistema, analisa-se o Princípio da Legalidade, seu alcance e desdobramentos, para promover o confronto das prescrições e dos efeitos trazidos com a inserção do parágrafo único ao artigo 116 do Código Tributário Nacional. Igualmente, por decorrência da própria análise de tal instituto axiológico, passa-se a verificar o conteúdo, o alcance e os desdobramentos do Princípio da Segurança Jurídica, o qual inquestionavelmente possui grande abstração e penetração no sistema jurídico nacional, a fim de confrontar seu corolário e imposições com o conteúdo e os reflexos jurídicos do dispositivo sob investigação. Da mesma forma, abordam-se institutos e temas correlacionados ao objeto central de estudo, conferindo um maior aprofundamento à reflexão sobre a sua adequação aos princípios analisados e às demais normas gerais que regem o Direito Tributário no Brasil. Ao final, diante de todas constatações obtidas sobre tema proposto, promove-se a devida conclusão do estudo

反資本弱化條款對台灣跨國公司資本結構的影響 / The Impact of Anti-thin Capitalization Rules on the Capital Structure of Taiwanese Multinational Firms賴家琪, Lai,Chia Chi Unknown Date (has links)
由於許多公司會利用資本弱化來從事跨國利潤移轉,各國政府因而相繼制定反資本弱化條款,在稅務上限縮公司可減除的利息費用,以防堵企業規避稅負。惟多數探討反資本弱化條款有效性的實證文獻,都是以地主國的觀點看外來投資。 不同於之前文獻偏重探討某一特定國家 (大多數是歐美國家) 的反資本弱化條款是否會改變其境內公司之資本結構,本文則是以居住國的觀點,探討 2008 年至 2012 年台灣電子製造業的上市公司與其國內外關係企業的資本結構,是否會受到其所在國的反資本弱化條款影響。另外,基於內部債務和外部債務間的替代性,本文進一步將負債區分為內部債務與外部債務,以期能更細部了解公司的融資行為。
本文共分為四個模型:以模型一、二分析反資本弱化條款對公司內部債務的影響;以模型三、四分析反資本弱化條款對公司外部債務的影響。實證結果發現,處罰方式若為重分類為股利,會造成公司的內部債務比率下降15.45%,外部債務比率上升 27.66%。而安全港比率中的分子若指所有負債,會造成公司的外部債務比率下降 14%。此外,反資本弱化條款的施行對公司外部債務比率的影響取決於處罰方式和安全港比率中負債的定義。最後,若安全港比率的分子僅指關係人間負債,公司仍可透過增加外部債務的方式,繼續享受利息費用的稅盾效果。 / Because many companies shift their profits through debt financing, governments had imposed anti-thin capitalization rules one after another to limit the tax deductibility of interest expenses. However, most empirical researches on the effectiveness of the anti-thin capitalization rules are from host countries perspectives. Different from previous literature focusing on how the anti-thin capitalization rule of one country affects capital structures of companies in that country, this paper is from a home country perspective to analyze the effects of the anti-thin capitalization rules on capital structures of Taiwanese listed companies (Electronics manufacturing industry) and their affiliates over the period 2008-2012. This paper subdivides debt into internal debt and external debt on account of the substitution between them so that it would help us to understand financing behavior of companies in depth.
Model 1 and Model 2 are to investigate how anti-thin capitalization rules affect internal debt of companies. Model 3 and Model 4 are to investigate how anti-thin capitalization rules affect external debt of companies. The findings indicate that reclassifying excess interest as dividends reduces a company’s internal debt ratio by 15.45% and increases its external debt ratio by 27.66%. Defining the numerator of the safe haven ratio as total debt reduces a company’s external debt ratio by 14%. Moreover, how the enforcement of the anti-thin capitalization rule affects a company’s external debt ratio depends on the penalty and the definition of the debt measure in the numerator of the safe haven ratio. Finally, if the numerator of the safe haven ratio refers to related-parties debt, a company may still make good use of the tax shields of interest expenses by increasing external debt.

The Trouble With Transfer Pricing, and How to Fix ItSykes, Justin 01 January 2014 (has links)
Many multinational firms, notably Apple Inc., have engaged in increasingly aggressive tax planning strategies which shift billions of dollars overseas. This paper examines the problem through a case study of Apple, concluding that while many loopholes are utilized, aggressive transfer pricing of intangible assets is the root of the problem. Several solutions are examined before concluding that the best solution is a partial elimination of deferral in the form of a minimum payout share.

俄羅斯大公司開發離岸計畫的規模,原因和經濟後果 / Scale, reasons and economic consequences of exploiting offshore schemes by russian large companies周子恩, Balganov, Zorikto Unknown Date (has links)
Offshore jurisdictions have become popular among corporations around the globe. They provide opportunities to reduce taxes by registering companies there. The Russian large firms have joined the trend, but exploit offshore schemes in different ways. They incorporate offshore companies with their subsidiaries operating in Russia. The main purpose is to protect assets from hostile capture by other businesses or even the government. Thus, businessmen stay hidden as end beneficiaries behind the offshore companies’ chain.
The offshorization in the country has its enormous scale. Up to 90% of the largest companies are involved in offshore patterns. The government makes some efforts to force companies to come back to the country, but they are not effective. To succeed, corporations should experience the improved business climate and have an opportunity to defend themselves in fair courts. It is the government’s responsibility to make such appealing conditions.
As a result, nowadays, Russia suffers not only from less tax collection, but also from losing control over strategically important enterprises and even industries. Thus, the phenomenon threatens to the country's national security.

Vybrané daňové aspekty medzinárodného podnikania / Selected Tax Aspects of International BusinessTichá, Dominika January 2014 (has links)
The result of the global integration of the world economy are globally operating corporations. Multinational enterprises operate in different countries whose economic policies are different from each other. These differences have considerable impact on tax policy. Taxes are the subject of conflicting interests of the international business and tax policy. One of the current objectives of the MNEs is to reduce the total cost in order to achieving competitive advantage in the global market as well as to minimize the global tax liability through its optimization. To achieve these objectives the international tax planning is a widely used means. International tax planning uses tax havens and their favourable tax conditions to divert profits. Minimizing tax liability often leads to tax avoidance or tax evasion. Different legislative adjustments and mutual meeting of local and international legislation gradually uncover gaps and weaknesses enabling reduction and shedding of profits. Consequently, states are deprived of significant tax revenue. One of the most common and most important methods to minimize the tax liability of MNEs is transfer pricing. Transfer prices are to be determined in accordance with the arm's length principle, using comparative analysis and an appropriate method of assessment. Transactions carried out between associated enterprises may be regarded as a risk area which gets to the fore states and tax administrations. The first part of thesis focuses on tax policy in terms of international taxation of income and international tax planning. The second part presents a transfer pricing. The third and last part describes the practices of MNEs in transfer pricing and corresponding initiatives of national and international organizations.

Curbing offshore tax avoidance: the case of South African companies and trustsOguttu, Annet Wanyana 30 November 2007 (has links)
This work entails a study of some of the schemes that are employed by country residents when companies and trusts are used as vehicles for investing in offshore tax-haven and low tax jurisdictions so as to avoid taxes.
The study also entails a critical analysis of the effectiveness of the some of the laws in South Africa that curb such offshore tax avoidance schemes. Similar laws in the United Kingdom and in the United States are analysed in order to come up with some recommendations that could be considered for possible reform of the relevant South African laws where they are found wanting.
Since offshore tax avoidance is an international issue, the effectiveness of the recommendations of some international organisations in preventing the depletion of countries' tax bases are also analysed. / JURISPRUDENCE / LLD
