The MAAL and the diverted profits tax - A comparative
Source: Taxation In Australia Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Jul 2016
A diverted profits tax was proposed by the federal government in the 2016-17 Budget. A multinational anti-avoidance law (MAAL) was enacted in late 2015. Both the MAAL and the diverted profits tax focus on multinationals that derive $1b or more in group income. The diverted profits tax is proposed to be applicable for income years following 1 July 2017, but to arrangements whenever they were entered into. This means that the development of the diverted profits tax should be closely monitored and risk mitigation should be considered.
This article compares the MAAL and the diverted profits tax to demonstrate where they intersect and the differences between them, and to highlight how these regimes provide a new framework for multinational taxation in Australia. The article also considers example structures to demonstrate where the MAAL and proposed diverted pr ofits tax pr ovide the ATO with two additional avenues to attack structures which concern it.
