This book explores the concept of beneficial ownership in equity law, the domestic tax laws of the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, as well as its varied and increasing uses in international tax law. By analysing the evolution of beneficiary rights in equity and the use of beneficial ownership wording in tax law, the book draws a roadmap for dealing with beneficial ownership in both national and international tax law. This approach highlights those common misconceptions that can be avoided by understanding the origins of the concept and its engagement with equity, as well as the differences with tax law. However, the book does not limit itself to dealing with theoretical discussion, but also offers an instructive and detailed practical case study. Offering both academic commentary and a practitioner focus, the book will be of the utmost interest to scholars and practitioners from common and civil law countries dealing with tax and estate law, particularly given beneficial ownership’s increasing relevance.

Following each Member State''s need to rebuild a strong and stable economy after the 2007 financial crisis, the European Union (EU) has developed a robust new transparency framework with binding anti-abuse measures and stronger instruments to challenge external threats of base erosion. This is the first and only book to provide a complete detailed analysis of the Anti-Tax Avoidance Package and other recent and ongoing European actions taken in direct taxation.

With contributions from both prominent tax academics and Spain''s delegates to the European meetings where these rules are debated and promulgated, the book covers such issues and topics as the following:

– the development of the EU Strategy towards Aggressive Tax Planning;– recent tax-related jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice;– the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive;– tax treaties and non-tax treaties with tax consequences both between Member States and between Member States and third countries;– code of conduct for business taxation;– automatic exchange of information;– country-by-country reporting;– arbitration in tax matters;– external strategy for effective taxation regarding non-EU countries;– competition and state aid developments in direct taxation;– the Common Consolidated Tax Base; and– digital significant presence and permanent establishment.

As the EU pursues its ambitious tax agenda, taxation''s contribution to EU growth and competitiveness and its part in relations with the rest of the world will come into ever clearer focus. In addition to its insights into these trends, the book''s unparalleled practical information and analysis will be of great value to tax practitioners dealing with investment analysis, tax planning schemes, and other features of the current international tax landscape.
