DAC6 (e-learning)
Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 amending Directive 2011/16/EU (“DAC6”) impacts the professionals of the financial sector and their clients.
In a tax environment that is becoming more and more transparent, the DAC6 regulation introduces the mandatory exchange of information for reportable cross-border arrangements within the EU.
This regulation requires intermediaries such as banks, asset managers, life insurance companies, advisors to ensure appropriate processes and procedures are in place to identify the potential reportable cross-border arrangements.
In this respect, various hallmarks have been elaborated to assist the intermediaries with the analysis of the potential arrangements falling within the scope of DAC6. Some of the hallmarks should be corroborated with a main benefit test with respect to the tax advantage of the agreement.
Depending on its DAC6 qualification (promoters, service providers, taxpayers) and the other actors involved in the arrangement structures, the concerned market players may have reporting obligations regarding pre-existing and new arrangements.
This e-learning solution will cover the above technical and operational DAC6 elements supported by real-life examples, concluding with a final quiz to provide participants with the must-have insight to understand and prepare for the DAC6 compliance.
This module is part of our Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) training curriculum.
