    Mandatory disclosure of potentially aggressive cross-border tax planning arrangements – DAC6
    On 25 May 2018, the Council of the European Union adopted a directive with the objective to increase transparency and dissuade intermediaries and tax payers from designing and implementing cross-border aggressive tax planning arrangements (Directive (EU) 2018/822 or DAC6). Pursuant to DAC 6, information related to reportable cross-border arrangements meeting certain conditions and criteria (called "hallmarks") will have to be reported to the tax authorities. Reportable cross-border arrangements will then be subject to automatic exchange with the tax authorities of other EU Member States through a centralized database. Reporting obligations primarily apply to (auxiliary) intermediaries which are defined as any person designing, marketing, organizing, making available for implementation or managing the implementation of a reportable arrangement, including persons knowing, or who could reasonably be expected to know, that they have agreed to provide assistance or advice in relation to the abovementioned services. However, (auxiliary) intermediaries subject to legal professional privilege are exempt from reporting obligations in which case the reporting obligations rely on any other non-exempt (auxiliary) intermediaries or, in the absence thereof, on the taxpayer itself. In view of their legal privilege, attorneys-at-law and notaries within NautaDutilh’s offices qualify as exempt (auxiliary) intermediaries and consequently do not file or report information on cross-border transactions to tax authorities. They remain subject to certain notification obligations and therefore may notify other (auxiliary) intermediaries or, in the absence thereof, their clients that they may have reporting obligations under DAC 6 in respect of certain matters.

    Mandatory disclosure of potentially aggressive cross-border tax planning arrangements – DAC6
    On 25 May 2018, the Council of the European Union adopted a directive with the objective to increase transparency and dissuade intermediaries and tax payers from designing and implementing cross-border aggressive tax planning arrangements (Directive (EU) 2018/822 or DAC6). Pursuant to DAC 6, information related to reportable cross-border arrangements meeting certain conditions and criteria (called "hallmarks") will have to be reported to the tax authorities. Reportable cross-border arrangements will then be subject to automatic exchange with the tax authorities of other EU Member States through a centralized database. Reporting obligations primarily apply to (auxiliary) intermediaries which are defined as any person designing, marketing, organizing, making available for implementation or managing the implementation of a reportable arrangement, including persons knowing, or who could reasonably be expected to know, that they have agreed to provide assistance or advice in relation to the abovementioned services. However, (auxiliary) intermediaries subject to legal professional privilege are exempt from reporting obligations in which case the reporting obligations rely on any other non-exempt (auxiliary) intermediaries or, in the absence thereof, on the taxpayer itself. In view of their legal privilege, attorneys-at-law and notaries within NautaDutilh’s offices qualify as exempt (auxiliary) intermediaries and consequently do not file or report information on cross-border transactions to tax authorities. They remain subject to certain notification obligations and therefore may notify other (auxiliary) intermediaries or, in the absence thereof, their clients that they may have reporting obligations under DAC 6 in respect of certain matters.
