16 Hybrid Instruments Definition Instruments which are treated differently for tax purposes in the countries involved, most prominently as debt in one country and as equity in another country. Ref: Hybrid mismatch arrangements: Tax policy and compliance issues, OECD, March 2012 Slide 16
17 Redeemable shares Key features: Company A Redeemable shares treated as debt instrument and dividends paid are considered interest payments and are tax deductible. Interest expense (Debt) Interest WHT rates imposed on payment. Abroad Thailand Recipient exempt from taxation as income considered dividend, not interest Dividend income (Equity) Company B Tax issues: Results in double non-taxation of income Slide 17
18 Perpetual bond Key features: Company A (Issuer) A bond with no maturity date Issuer pays coupons forever Long-term Loan Dividend income (Equity) Abroad Recipient country treats bond investment as equity not debt Thailand permits interest as tax deduction Thailand Interest expense (Debt) Company B (Buyer) Recipient country treats bond interest as tax exempt dividend Tax issues: Results in double non-taxation of income Slide 18
19 Other scheme applied in other countries Double deduction with hybrid entity Scheme: Company A Long-term Loan Hybrid entity Company A holds equity interest in Hybrid entity which in turn holds equity interest in Company B. Hybrid entity borrows from a third party and uses debt to inject as equity into Company B. Hybrid entity is treated as a branch ( disregarded entity ) of Company A and interest expenses of Hybrid entity tax deductible. But Hybrid entity and Company B are tax consolidated and thus interest expense of Hybrid entity is tax deductible (again) in Country B. Company B Tax issues: Group tax regime Results in double deduction of interest expense Slide 19
20 Other countries schemes Foreign tax credit generators (double deduction for foreign tax credit) Scheme SPV shares Company A wishes to borrow money from Company B. 1 Cash Company A Repo agreement Company B Cash It also issues bonds to SPV. 3 2 SPV shares SPV Issues bonds Company A sells shares of SPV to Company B, with a re-purchase ( Repo ) agreement. Dividends (cash flow) Tax implication Country B Country B considers this transaction a sale. Dividend income from SPV is taxed and Company B is granted foreign tax credits of tax paid by SPV Slide 20
21 Other countries schemes Foreign tax credit generators (double deduction for foreign tax credit) Tax implication Country A: SPV shares 1 In Country A, this transaction is treated as a loan by Company B to Company A that is secured through SPV shares. Country A applies an exemption for dividends received by Company B, or an indirect foreign tax credit regime that allows Company A to claim a tax credit for CIT paid by SPV. Company A further claims a deduction for the interest expenses on the deemed loan received equal to dividend payments. Cash Company A Repo agreement Company B Cash 3 2 SPV shares SPV Dividends (cash flow) Tax consequences: Two countries grant tax credits for taxes paid by SPV Slide 21
