11 Income Tax Provisions related to Non Residents Source & Residence : The Conflict Tax treaties: framework between the two or more contracting states/ countries on bilateral basis to prevent double taxation. Almost all treaties are bilateral, although there have been some ventures into concluding multilateral treaties. Role of Tax Treaties Increased cross border economic activity by limiting double taxation Bilateral Economic Assistance through beneficial treaty provisions Non discrimination in Tax matters Exchange of information leading to better enforcements of tax laws
12 Income Tax Provisions related to Non Residents DTAAs aim to remove the international double taxation. However the concept of the tax treaties by which treaties aim to achieve this is broader than the simply defined concept of double taxation. It attempts to address the whole host of related issues based on the economic double taxation- that is, taxation of something already taxed under another country's law whether or not it is formally subject to multiple levels of taxation.
13 Double Tax Avoidance Agreements Purpose and objectives
14 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Need of a DTAA explained Through Concept of Juridical Double taxation. Concept of Economic Double taxation.
15 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Juridical double taxations Juridical double taxation (or International Double taxation) Same legal entity is subject to tax, on same income, in two (or more) countries for the same taxable year. This may arise because most countries: Example tax residents on global income (i.e. regardless of source); and tax non-residents on domestic-source income. Company A resident in Country U Country U Branch Country I Company A s branch profits are subject to tax in two countries: (i) in Country U, due to residence; and (ii) in Country I, due to source.
16 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Economic double taxation Two legal entities are subject to tax, on (economically) the same income, in two (or more) countries. Arises where one country applies its transfer pricing rules. Example Taxable profits = US$ 5 million Taxable profits = $ 2 million Loan ($100 million Company A 5% p.a. ($ 5 million) Company B Country U Country I If Country I considers that the arm s length rate of interest on the loan should be 4% p.a., it will reduce Company B s interest deduction by $1 million Company B s taxable profits increase by $ 1 million to $ 3 million Unless Country U provides some relief for Company B, economic double taxation will occur in respect of the $ 1 million.
17 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Purpose of double tax treaties To Eliminate such double taxation (i.e. juridical and economic) in order to prevent discouragement of international trade and investment which would otherwise be caused To provide certainty to tax regime faced by investors and traders. To provide for co-operation between tax administrations to combat tax avoidance and tax evasion. To provide for exchange of information, in order to: combat tax avoidance and tax evasion; and ensure the treaty operates properly To eliminate certain forms of discriminatory taxation Also Refer to Section 90(1) which lays down in the Indian Income tax Act, the object and purpose of Indian Government for entering into a DTAA.
18 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Types of double tax treaties Subject matter Income (this is our focus) Inheritance, estates and gifts Social security Comprehensive vs. limited Comprehensive (this is our focus) Airline and/or shipping operations Bilateral vs. multilateral Bilateral (i.e. between 2 countries): most common (and our focus) Multilateral (i.e. between 3 or more countries) For example: Nordic multilateral treaty (Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden)
19 Structure of a typical tax treaty Scope of Convention Article 1 and 2 Definitions Article 3, 4 and 5 Taxation of Income Article 6 to 21 Taxation of Capital Article 22 Provisions for elimination of Double Tax Special provisions such as Anti Avoidance Provisions Article23A and 23B Article 24 to 27 (e.g. LOB) Miscellaneous Provisions Article 28 to 31 Protocols and Termination
20 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Legal effect of a double tax treaty Tax treaty is an agreement between two governments Treaty becomes part of the tax law of each country, and thereby creates rights for taxpayers
21 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Treaty is an agreement between two governments Process of concluding agreement involves following steps: Negotiations (one or more rounds) Agreed text is initialed by negotiators If there is more than one language for treaty: translations are prepared and agreed Signature of the agreement (usually by high-ranking government officers)
22 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Treaty is an agreement between two governments Completion of domestic procedures (if any) to incorporate treaty into domestic tax law. Exchange of instruments of ratification (or letters of notification) Agreement enters into force Agreement becomes effective in regard to specific income
23 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Treaty becomes part of tax law of each country Till the treaty becomes part of tax law of each country, taxpayers have no rights in respect of treaty Each country has different rules by which a treaty becomes part of tax law
24 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Importance of Protocols and notes The double tax treaties are generally accompanied by one or more exchanges of notes and/or protocols, which clarify/expand/restrict application of main treaty When two countries want to change their double tax treaty, they can do so in either of two ways: I. enter into a new treaty and terminate the old treaty; or II. make amendments to the existing treaty If (ii) is followed, a protocol is used to make the relevant amendments
25 Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) Model Conventions (MC) vs. United Nations (UN) Model Conventions
26 Tax Treaty Model Conventions The most practiced DTAA models are the model treaties framed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development [ OECD ] also referred to as OECD MC, the United Nations (UN MC)
27 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Model treaties and commentaries Commentaries on OECD model treaty: Starting with the 1963 edition, the OECD model treaty has been published with a commentary to each article. The Commentaries have been referred to as an aid to interpretation by the courts in many OECD countries and in some non-oecd countries (e.g. Malaysia)
28 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) Model treaties and commentaries UN model treaty Based on, and very similar to, OECD model treaty. Is focused on double tax treaties between developed and developing countries. Allows greater source country taxation than the OECD model. Commentaries on UN model treaties Substantially copy OECD model treaty commentaries. Some original commentary.
