3rd Academic Conference: Experiences and challenges with respect to MDR

Warsaw
25 May 2023

It has been 4 years since the implementation of Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 of May 25, 2018 (DAC-6) on reporting of tax schemes. The emergence of DAC-6 is a result of the tightening  of states’ approach to the international exchange of information treated as a method of countering international tax avoidance as part of the OECD BEPS 1.0 project.
The BEPS 1.0 final reports pointed to the need to improve transparency with a mandatory exchange on settlements related to obtaining preferential tax treatment.
In particular, Action 12 included recommendations for the creationof national legislation to impose an obligation on taxpayers to disclose aggressive tax planning strategies.

Following the OECD recommendations, Council Directive (EU) 2015/2376 of December 8, 2015 was passed. (DAC-3) as well as Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 of May 25, 2018 (DAC-6). The DAC-6 regulations provoke numerous discussions regarding practical implementation aspects, especially in Poland.

The conference will be devoted to assessing the impact of the DAC-6 directive from the EU perspective and domestic practice. The assessment will be made in the broader perspective of gradually increasing tax transparency.

The organizers anticipate publishing a post-conference paper in a ranked scientific journal.
