The Italian goverment, on April 21, released draft legislation which “significantly reshapes the tax rules applicable to cross-border scenarios and redefines the concepts of abuse of law and tax avoidance,” writes EY in an April 27 tax alert.
According to EY, the draft would replace Italy’s general antiavoidance rules with a new “abuse of law” provision and would expand types of matters that can be the subject of an advance tax ruling. Also included are proposals to modify the tax treatment of transactions with black list countries, the computation of the interest expense deduction cap, attribution of income to Italian permanent establishments, foreign tax credit and controlled foreign corporation rules, and provisions on consolidation between sister companies, EY writes.
