Amendment 8 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) In recent years, the challenge posed by tax fraud and tax evasion has increased considerably and has become a major focus of concern within the Union and at global level. The automatic exchange of information constitutes an important tool in this regard and the Commission in its communication of 6 December 2012 containing an Action Plan to strengthen the fight against tax fraud and tax evasion highlighted the need to promote vigorously the automatic exchange of information as the future European and international standard for transparency and exchange of information in tax matters. The European Council in its conclusions of 22 May 2013 requested the extension of automatic information exchange at Union and global levels with a view to combatting tax fraud, tax evasion and aggressive tax planning (on both the demand and supply sides).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) As Multi National Enterprise (MNE) Groups are active in different countries, they have the possibility of engaging in aggressive tax planning practices that are not available for domestic companies. When MNEs do so, purely domestic companies, normally small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) may be particularly affected as their tax burden is higher than that of MNE Groupsy pay an effective rate of tax that is much closer to statutory rates than MNEs, resulting in distortions to, and malfunctions of, the internal market. On the other hand, all Member States may suffer revenue losses and there is the risk of competition to attract MNE Groups by offering them further tax benefits. There is therefore a problem for the proper functioning of the Internal Market.

Recital 2
(2) As Multi National Enterprise (MNE) Groups are active in different countries, they have the possibility of engaging in aggressive tax planning practices, often facilitated by other jurisdictions and the Member States themselves, that are not available for domestic companies. When MNEs do so, purely domestic companies, normally small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) may be particularly affected as their tax burden is higher than that of MNE Groups. On the other hand, all Member States may suffer revenue losses and there is the risk of competition to attract MNE Groups by offering them further tax benefits. There is therefore a problem for the proper functioning of the Internal Market.

Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) Union tax authorities need comprehensive and relevant information on MNE Groups regarding their structure, transfer pricing policy, tax settlements and internal transactions in and outside the EU. That information will enable the tax authorities to react to harmful tax practices through changes in the legislation or adequate risk assessments and tax audits, and to identify whether companies have engaged in practices that have the effect of artificially shifting substantial amounts of income into tax-advantaged environments.

Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Increased transparency towards tax authorities could have the effect of giving MNE Groups an incentive to abandon certain practices and pay their fair share of tax in the country where profits are made. It would also increase the 'peer pressure' between Member States and would focus the attention of financial markets on the fiscal accountability of MNEs. Enhancing transparency for MNE Groups is therefore an essential part of tackling base erosion and profit shifting.

(4) Increased transparency towards tax authorities could have the effect of giving MNE Groups an incentive to abandon certain practices and pay their fair share of tax in the country where profits are made. Enhancing transparency for MNE Groups is therefore an essential part of tackling base erosion and profit shifting and, ultimately, tax avoidance.

Proposal for a directive

Recital 7
(7) In order to enhance the efficient use of public resources and reduce the administrative burden for MNE Groups, the reporting obligation should only apply to MNE Groups with annual consolidated group revenue exceeding a certain amountEUR 40 million, in line with the definition of a large undertaking in Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of undertakings, and consistent with the proposed country-by-country reporting in the revision of Directive 2007/36/EC. The Directive should ensure that the same information is collected and made available to tax administrations in a timely manner throughout the EU.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) To ensure the proper functioning of the Internal Market and equitable taxation, the EU has to provide for fair competition between EU MNE Groups and non-EU MNE Groups for which one or several of their entities are located in the EU.

Recital 12
(12) TIn the absence of a Union definition of permanent establishment, the mandatory automatic exchange of country- by-country reports between Member States should in each case include the communication of a defined set of basic information that would be accessible to thoseall Member States in which, on the basis of the information in the country- by-country report, one or more entities of the MNE Group are either resident for tax purposes, or are subject to tax with respect to the business carried out through a permanent establishment of an MNE Group.

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) The work on Action 13 of the BEPS Action Plan resulted in a set of standards for providing information for MNE Groups, including the master file, the local file and the country-by-country report. It is therefore appropriate to take into account the OECD standards when establishing the European rules on the country-by-country report, so that these are more rigorous.

Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) This Directive is a crucial step in going beyond the OECD BEPS Action Plan, as recalled by the European Parliament in its recommendations to the Commission in order to promote transparency, coordination and convergence to corporate tax policies in the Union. In particular, it is to be considered as the first move towards the implementation of a public country-by- country reporting for MNE Groups, such as the European Parliament has referred to on several occasions, through its reports on Directive 2007/36/EC, the report of the TAXE special committee and the European Parliament’s resolution of 16 December 2015 with recommendations to the Commission on bringing transparency, coordination and convergence to corporate tax policies in the Union.

Recital 18
(18) The scope of mandatory exchange of information should therefore be extended to include the automatic exchange of information of the country-by-country report. In order to enhance transparency for citizens, the Commission should publish the country-by-country reports, based on the information contained in the centralised register of country-by-country reports. In doing so, the Commission should comply with the provisions of this Directive on confidentiality.
