10 Digital economy: VAT issues International VAT / GST guidelines Core principles of VAT Neutrality principle: VAT is a tax on final consumption that should be neutral for businesses Destination principle: transactions are subject to VAT in the jurisdiction of consumption Place of supply Different rules for goods vs. services first crucial distinction is defining what is being supplied Goods: place of supply rules for goods focus on the location of goods Services: B2B vs. B2C distinction; for B2B tax in recipient s hands; for B2C look at place of supply rules How to ensure the appropriate collection of VAT on cross-border B2C supplies For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 10

12 Responses to digital economy tax issues Multilateral: BEPS Action 1: digital economy Options to tax digital transactions Nexus based on significant economic presence, withholding tax on digital transactions or equalization levy Collection of VAT / GST on cross-border B2C transactions Action 5: harmful tax practices Increased substance and transparency Preferential IP regimes subject to substantial activity requirement based on a nexus approach Compulsory exchange of rulings Action 6: treaty abuse Limits on source country WHT relief Principal purpose test Limitation on benefits rule Third country PE rule For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 12
13 Responses to digital economy tax issues Multilateral: BEPS and other Action 7: avoidance of PE status Lower PE threshold Expansion of agency PE concept Narrowing of specific activity exceptions Anti-fragmentation rule Actions 8, 9 & 10: Transfer pricing Intangibles: emphasis on DEMPE functions not legal ownership; guidance on hard to value intangibles Risk assumption: based on ability to control and financial capacity to bear; contracts vs. conduct UN committee of experts: UN committee of experts: Taxation of technical service Taxation of technical service fees fees Proposed new fees for Technical Services Article in UN Model Tax Convention, allowing source country taxation For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 13
14 Responses to digital economy tax issues Avoidance of PE status OECD BEPS Action 7 recommendations Extend agency PE to habitually playing the principal role leading to the conclusion of contracts to be performed by the enterprise (if routinely concluded without material modification by the enterprise) Restrict specific activity exemptions (storage, purchasing, etc.) to activities that are preparatory or auxiliary for the enterprise and introduce anti-fragmentation rule Other specific recommendations Multilateral instrument (subject to opt out) Implementation Bilateral negotiations Potential unilateral actions (domestic law anti-abuse rules or new taxes not covered by treaties) For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 14
15 Responses to digital economy tax issues Examples of unilateral actions UK Australia New Zealand India Malaysia France Diverted profits tax (avoided PE charge) Multinational anti-avoidance law (schemes to limit a taxable presence) Proposed deemed PE rule Equalization levy Expanded definition of royalties and taxation of outbound service fees Attempted introduction of diverted profits tax The BEPS Action 1 report was inconclusive We should therefore not complain too much about countries taking unilateral actions, even though that's not what we at the OECD favour Pascal Saint-Amans, Head of OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration For information, contact Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited. 15
