ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
The main purpose with DAC 6 is to prevent tax avoidance and evasion in the form of aggressive tax planning. The implementation of the EU directive means that member states of EU are obliged to implement mandatory disclosure rules for cross-border arrangements. The DAC 6 has been criticized for broad and vague formulation of central words which creates uncertainty for the application. Further, broadly worked hallmarks and wide information required to be filed creates danger for disproportionality. The programme intends to investigate whether the Cyprus implementation of the directive is a proportionate measure to prevent tax avoidance and evasion in the form of aggressive tax planning. In order to do so, the DAC 6 is first described, since the Cyprus implementation is based on the directive. The Cyprus government’s interpretation is further explained as well as the expected benefit and costs of the rules.
The programme continues the discussion on the balancing of the collision between tax measures and procedural rights. In DAC6, regulators will impose a duty upon intermediaries (and on taxpayers, in few cases where intermediaries are excused) to disclose certain information at the earliest possible stage of tax planning. Such an unprecedented approach to regulation reflects the resolve of Member States to fix a systemic problem in the international tax system which businesses, particularly large multinational enterprises, exploit through aggressive or abusive tax avoidance. It is clearly a demanding approach to regulation and overrides the freedom and initiative of businesses. It confirms that the default legal or regulatory regime placed a higher value on the power to tax over procedural rights.
