1.歐盟理事會(huì )將開(kāi)曼群島、阿曼從稅務(wù)不合作「黑名單」中移出
2020年10月6日,歐盟理事會(huì )更新發(fā)布稅務(wù)不合作管轄區名單,將安哥拉和巴巴多斯加入稅務(wù)不合作黑名單,同時(shí)也宣布將開(kāi)曼群島、阿曼從黑名單中移去。這是繼今年2月18日后的第二次更新,下一次更新將在2021年2月。
歐盟對稅務(wù)不合作黑名單主要審查3方面的內容:
是否與歐盟就稅收治理進(jìn)行建設性對話(huà);
是否履行其承諾以實(shí)施改革以遵守有關(guān)稅收透明度;
稅收合理性及實(shí)施稅基侵蝕和利潤轉移計劃(BEPS)的國際標準。
目前歐盟稅務(wù)不合作黑名單包含12個(gè)國家或地區:美屬薩摩亞(American Samoa)、安哥拉(Anguilla)、巴巴多斯(Barbados)、斐濟(Fiji)、關(guān)島(Guam)、帕勞(Palau)、巴拿馬(Panama)、薩摩亞(Samoa)、塞舌爾(Seychelles)、特立尼達(Trinidad)和多巴哥(Tobago)、美屬維京群島(US Virgin Islands)和瓦努阿圖(Vanuatu)。
其中,安哥拉(Anguilla)、巴巴多斯(Barbados)是本期新添加司法管轄區。
所謂的歐盟稅務(wù)不合作管轄區名單,就是我們俗稱(chēng)的“稅收黑名單”,被歐盟列入“稅收黑名單”,這絕對不是一個(gè)好消息。它意味著(zhù),這些司法管轄區在獲取歐盟資金時(shí)門(mén)檻會(huì )更高,歐盟公司在當地開(kāi)展業(yè)務(wù)時(shí)也會(huì )受到更多限制。
?
事實(shí)上,開(kāi)曼群島一直在努力配合歐盟理事會(huì )相關(guān)要求:
?
2020年2月7日,開(kāi)曼群島新的《私募基金法案》(Private Funds Bill, 2020)和《共同基金(修訂)法案》(Mutual Funds (Amendment) Bill, 2020)。首次將以往不受開(kāi)曼金融管理局(CIMA)監管的私募基金納入到注冊體系中,并新增了一系列的注冊要求、審計要求、估值要求等。
2020年7月7日,開(kāi)曼再次頒布《2020年私募基金(修訂)法》,修訂案擴大了“私募基金”的范疇,并對估值、基金財產(chǎn)的安全托管和現金監管中的利益沖突管理提出了進(jìn)一步要求。
