Are you a Tax Intermediary?

The Transposition of the Tax Intermediaries Directive into Maltese Law -12th February 2020

 
 

Are you a tax intermediary? Do you have an obligation to report cross-border arrangements? 

The amendments to the Cooperation with Other Jurisdictions on Tax Matters (Amendment) Regulations, 2019 (LN 342 of 2019) transposed the EU mandatory disclosure rules (reportable cross-border arrangements) .

In terms of the Rules, tax 'Intermediaries' have until 30 August 2020 to disclose reportable transactions effected between 25 June 2018 and 1 July 2020.

The introduction of this legislation radically impacts the role of tax advisors and their relationship with the tax authorities within the European Union.

 
 

Who is an 'intermediary'? what arrangements are reportable?

Practitioners and advisers who promote, advise on, or assist with the implementation of arrangements which contain any of the hallmarks contemplated in the legislation should determine:
  • Whether they classify as an “intermediary”
  • Which arrangements are reportable; and
  • Whether any exceptions apply.
