International tax structuring - Back to basics: Source, revenue or capital, treaty shopping

Source: Victoria

Published Date: 9 Feb 2011

 
This event focused on whether the boundaries of "legitimate' international tax planning have shifted following the TPG/Myer case and the much awaited release of the Australian Taxation Offices ("ATO") view on this matter in the form of Taxation Determinations TD 2010/20, TD 2010/21, TD 2010/D7 and TD 2010/D8 (the Rulings). In addition, the ATO was granted a freezing order against Resource Capital Fund III LP in November 2010. This event covered:
  • impact of the TPG/Myer case and the rulings
  • what types of "treaty shopping' will be caught by Part IVA having regard to the ATO's views in TD 2010/20?
  • the global trend against treaty shopping - increased crossborder co-operation, exchange of information imitation amongst tax authorities and substance requirements
  • is cross-border tax structuring an endangered art?
  • other weapons in the ATO's arsenal
  • recent announcements relating to foreign managed funds and collective investment vehicles.
