An Analysis of Beneficial Ownership Rules

March 27, 2019 17085 Views 0 comment Print

This paper analyses the 2018 amendment which introduces ‘beneficial ownership rules’ and introduces ‘significant’ beneficial ownership in India. However, since it is recent, there is a lot of scope to determine how it should be interpreted, in a manner that should fall within the object of the 2017 amendment, which is to curb money laundering. The paper also assesses its impact on corporate layering and tax avoidance strategies used by companies. The introduction of the amendment changes certain ‘tax planning’ strategies to ‘tax avoidance’, which the paper will also scrutinize. The paper would ultimately like to offer a more ‘universal’ approach in tax matters, as opposed to the traditional ‘single entity’ approach that is usually followed while piercing the corporate veil.
