House of Representatives Adopts 2012 Tax Plan

Short Reads - The EU Mandatory Disclosure Directive (“DAC6”), introducing a reporting requirement for intermediaries and/or taxpayers of certain cross-border arrangements that are perceived to be aggressive, is effective as of 1 July in the Netherlands. By his letter of 26 June 2020, the Dutch State Secretary of Finance granted deferral of the Dutch reporting deadlines until 1 January 2021.

Seminar - On Thursday 18 June 2020 Maarten de Bruin, Jan van Oosten, Boris Cammelbeeck and Johan Vrolijk will present an hour-long webinar (in Dutch) concerning recent developments in the field of lease law, environmental law and taxation.

Short Reads - Per 1 juli 2020 zijn intermediairs (en in sommige gevallen belastingplichtigen) gehouden om bepaalde potentieel fiscaal agressieve grensoverschrijdende constructies te melden bij de fiscale autoriteiten. Deze verplichting vloeit voort uit de Nederlandse implementatie van de EU-richtlijn inzake ‘mandatory disclosure’ (hierna: “DAC6”). Met DAC6 beoogt de Europese Commissie de internationale fiscale transparantie te bevorderen en ongewenste fiscale praktijken tegen te gaan.
