Intertax v. 46, n. 1, January 2018, p. 58-67Summary: The signing of the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI), has enabled the participant jurisdictions to begin the process of implementing certain treaty-based Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) recommendations into their network of double tax conventions. In line with Action 6 of the BEPS Plan, as per Article 7 of the MLI, a minimum anti-abuse standard provision to counter treaty shopping was introduced. This article discusses the outcomes deriving from the application of the Principal Purpose Test (PPT), as default provision, and its possible interplay with the treaty anti-avoidance tool presented by the clause of the beneficial owner for tax treaty purposes. The analysis is supported by practical guidelines issued to holding companies, based on recent case law.
