The European Commission has made a proposal to update, clarify and broaden the scope of the European Community's Directive that provides for tax deferral in the case of cross-border mergers and divisions of companies, transfers of assets and exchanges of shares (90/434/EEC). In particular, the Commission proposes to broaden the Directive's scope to cover a larger range of companies including the European Company and the European Co-operative Society; to provide for a new tax neutral regime for the transfer of the registered office of a European Company or of a European Co-operative Society between Member States; to clarify that the Directive applies in the case of the conversion of branches into subsidiaries; and to introduce rules to prevent double taxation due to different valuations of shares and assets by different Member States. |
