STRUCTURING ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS

STRUCTURING ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS (PRIVATE EQUITY, REAL ESTATE, ETC.) In the post -BEPS ERA

Les inscriptions sont fermées

PRESENTATION

Over the last decades, Luxembourg has developed and cemented its position as a prime holding location and a major financial centre within Europe. Multinational enterprises and international investors alike use Luxembourg as a platform to manage their business activities and investments in and beyond Europe. 

Today, Luxembourg is the location of choice for asset managers implementing Alternative Investments such as real estate, private equity, private debt or hedge funds. Although these investment activities where never in the focus of the OECD when developing new tax rules as a result of the organisation’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Project, the changes that have been/will be implemented in the domestic tax laws of Luxembourg and foreign jurisdictions as well as the changes to bilateral tax treaties and the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines will have an impact on the taxation of alternative investments. 

This is the first of three workshops on the “Structuring of Alternative Investments (Private Equity, Real Estate, etc.) in the post-BEPS Era” which focuses on the impact of different BEPS measures, the European Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives (ATAD/ATAD 2) and related Luxembourg tax law changes on contemporary investment structures. 

OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP

Upon successful completion of this workshop, the participants will:

  o have an overview of the outcome of the OECD BEPS Project and the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance             Directives (ATAD/ATAD 2) as well as their implementation in domestic tax law and tax treaties

  o understand the concrete impact of the different BEPS measures on Alternative Investments               structured via Luxembourg (in Luxembourg and abroad)
