Description
The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has finalised its recommendations for a fixed ratio rule and complementary group ratio rule to limit relief in respect of payments of interest. Countries are beginning to legislate to give effect to the OECD recommendations, but they are not doing so in a uniform manner (and indeed some are departing from the OECD blueprint in important ways). What will the impact be for multinationals? Will inconsistencies in approach between jurisdictions give rise to arbitrage opportunities?
