Still waiting for concrete examples of differences and loopholes that are there currently and will exist after the directive is implemented as of 1st Jan 2020.The bill as a whole is 7 pages long.


EgMassive detailed changes required.:rolleyes:

You are the one who keeps linking to the article that says “primarily”. Earlier you claimed it was solely of an administrative nature which is clearly not true - otherwise it would have said that and left no doubt over the matter.

It's still ALL TRUE about what the UK already has in place, BEFORE any directive comes into force. Your contention is that there are loopholes and still will be after the directive is implemented.

Still absolutely no examples of material differences and loopholes.

In practice, this aims to tackle large companies shifting profits from the EU country in which they were made to a country with a lower tax rate or “preferential” rules. This could be another EU country, or a non-EU country.

So these policies are about tightening up “systemic issues” to do with tax law in EU countries, to make it harder for companies to practice what the EU calls “aggressive tax planning”.

Most of these policies are already in place

Three of the five provisions of the new tax avoidance directive are already in place, with EU countries (including the UK) having to adopt them by 31 December 2018.

HMRC told us that the new EU rules on interest restriction and the general anti-abuse rule led to no changes in the UK, because the UK’s existing rules already met or exceeded the minimum standards set.

There were some minor changes made to controlled foreign companies rules, but none were expected to have any significant impact on individuals or the economy.

The two EU provisions not yet in place are on exit tax and hybrid mismatches. The UK must meet the EU’s new standards on these by the start of 2020.

HMRC told us the exit tax rules would lead to two “minor” changes.

I've said it before. We should nominate Nigel Farage, which should ensure that they don't grant us any more extensions.

The Johnson government had apparently said it was unable to, under UK law to nominate a new EU Commissioner because the UK was in the lead-up to general election but let's not forget, one of the main reasons for wanting to leave this rat invested corrupt EU entity, is that the European Commission has repeatedly pointed out that EU law trumps domestic law of their Member States.

Not in every aspect of UK law, and certainly not (yet) anything to do with national or local elections.

Let's get ourselves chucked out for failing to comply with an international agreements requirements. Then we can set up new international agreements that we will 100% comply with (we promise)

You mean like the EU treaty that specifies that Article 50 and the WA is to be a transitional agreement and therefore can't include anything like the backstop? And allegedly against WTO rules. To begin with, NI becomes a different customs territory as it will have different customs rules and tariffs.
