13/09/2018 - The Inclusive Framework on BEPS has released additional interpretative guidance to give certainty to tax administrations and MNE Groups alike on the implementation of Country-by-Country (CbC) Reporting (BEPS Action 13).

 

The new guidance includes questions and answers on the treatment of dividends received and the number of employees to be reported in cases where an MNE uses proportional consolidation in preparing its consolidated financial statements, which apply prospectively. The updated guidance also clarifies that shortened amounts should not be used in completing Table 1 of a country-by-country report and contains a table that summarises existing interpretative guidance on the approach to be applied in cases of mergers, demergers and acquisitions.

 

The complete set of guidance concerning the interpretation of BEPS Action 13 issued so far is presented in the document released today. This will continue to be updated with any further guidance that may be agreed.

 

Also today, a set of newly established bilateral exchange relationships under the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports (CbC MCAA) were published with respect to Bermuda, Curaçao, Hong Kong (China) and Liechtenstein. An overview of all CbC MCAA exchange relationships is available.
