The MLI implements a number of tax treaty related measures foreseen by the BEPS project, while other non-treaty related BEPS Actions are addressed in the EU Anti-tax avoidance directive (“ATAD”). The practical impact of the MLI will depend on the implementation of the various options provided by the MLI. Although the Luxembourg government has not yet published its position in this respect, at least the Principal Purpose Test clause and the mutual agreement procedure will need to be implemented. As a result, we recommend that our clients review their current investment structures as regards compliance with the MLI and the ATAD and remind you that our tax team is at your disposal to further guide you towards the appropriate solution.
