KPMG: working together with our network of EU tax law specialists throughout the European Union.
In the upcoming Executive Talk, we are meeting with Andrada Goriță, Tax Manager within the Financial Services department, and Ionuț Măstăcăneanu, the leader of the Financial Services Team within the Tax department, @KPMG Romania.
They will discuss reporting rules and taxation within the European Union and how the new European Directive on Administrative Cooperation in the field of taxation (2018) has changed the reporting regime increasing transparency and cooperation in the way taxes are reported and calculated across member states.
The event will take place online [on Microsoft Teams platform] on the 28th of October from 5 PM [RO Time]. Participation is free, and 100% online on our Microsoft Teams channel.
Taxation and tax reporting are policy issues that are often shadowed at the European level in the favor of other discussions that focus on regional convergence, integration, and development. However, for more integration, Europe also needs a tighten cooperation and more transparency in taxation and tax reporting. In light of the recent investigations on harmful practices and the use of offshore companies (the so-called "Lux Leaks", "Panama Papers" and "Malta Leaks"), the European Parliament has called on the Commission to introduce tougher transparency requirements for intermediaries.
In this sense, a new Directive on Administrative Cooperation in the field of taxation (the DAC) was introduced, making the automatic exchange of information in the field of taxation in relation to reportable cross-border arrangements as mandatory. The directive introduced an obligation on intermediaries and, in certain cases, taxpayers, to disclose potentially aggressive tax planning arrangements, enabling at the same time the tax administrations to exchange information on these structures. The Directive was formally adopted during the ECOFIN meeting on May 25, 2018, and has entered into force on June 25, 2018. Unfortunately, the outbreak of the current pandemic has slowed things down.
These new rules entered into force with the 1st of July 2020, when relevant taxpayers were supposed to file information on reportable cross-border arrangements the first step of which was implemented between the date of entry into force (June 25, 2018) and the date of application of the Directive (July 1, 2020). In the pandemic context, however, countries were given the option to postpone the reporting deadlines for a maximum period of six months, therefore the reporting period will start as of 1 January 2021 for the majority of EU Member States, Romania included. This allows us some time of reflection and the opportunity to discuss during this Executive Talk the effects and consequences of these reforms on the taxation regime in Romania and the rest of EU countries.
