Mandatory disclosure of reportable cross-border arrangements – DAC6

On May 25, 2018, the Council of the European Union adopted a directive with the aim of discouraging intermediaries and taxpayers from devising and implementing aggressive cross-border tax arrangements and increasing transparency with regard to these arrangements (Directive (EU) 2018/822 or DAC6). Under DAC6, information on reportable cross-border arrangements that meet certain essential characteristics (the so-called ‘hallmarks’) must be reported to the tax authorities. Reportable cross-border arrangements are then automatically exchanged with tax authorities of other EU Member States via a centralized database. The notification obligation applies in the first place to (auxiliary) intermediaries, who are defined as ‘anyone who invents, offers, sets up, makes available for implementation or manages the implementation of a cross-border arrangement subject to notification, including persons who know or could reasonably have known have undertaken to provide assistance or advice in connection with the aforesaid services’. Depending on the assignment and the nature of the work, CB Law B.V. may qualify as an (auxiliary) intermediary in certain cases.
