Description
A number of steps have recently been promoted to combat aggressive tax planning and, in particular, the improper use of tax treaties. The panel will focus mainly on the Multilateral Instrument, which was recently signed, and its Principal Purpose Test and Limitation of Benefits provisions, and will review the position taken by the different Latin American jurisdictions. The panel will also address other anti-avoidance initiatives, such as those found in the United States Model Income Tax Convention or in the anti-tax avoidance package promoted by the European Commission.
