Such new measures would require a unanimous vote within EU member states.</P><P>In the meantime, it has been seen that certain EU countries, particularly the United Kingdom and Germany, have agreed to start bilateral talks with Switzerland (to which the Savings Tax Directive has been effectively extended since 2005) on agreements which would allow those countries to tax assets held by their residents in Swiss accounts, while Switzerland would get to retain some measure of banking secrecy.</P><P>In particular, in the eyes of the Italian government, those agreements, and the current EU Directive, avoid the automatic exchange of information about bank clients. That is the main reason why such countries as Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Switzerland remain on Italy?s ?blacklist? of tax havens (and have been affected, for example, under its new value added tax disclosure regulations) and why it has, as yet, been impossible to complete a long-discussed double taxation agreement (DTA) between Italy and Switzerland.</P><P>Tremonti has, for some time, been concerned at the level of information and/or tax remitted between countries under the Directive, and had already threatened, at the beginning of this year, an Italian veto on all EU tax matters unless clarification was forthcoming on tax recovery.</P><P>He has now said that the agreements being negotiated with Switzerland compromise, and are ?plainly against the spirit of?, the existing EU regulations. He said that Italy could not agree to the EU Directive being ?violated? by bilateral agreements. He pointed out that he is awaiting a reply within Ecofin on their unacceptability, and that ?without a reply, there could not be unanimity?.</P><P>While there have also been further rumblings recently, particularly in the Swiss press, that there could be movement shortly towards a signing of the DTA between Italy and Switzerland, it will be seen that Tremonti, on whose shoulders would rest any decision to proceed, would need to move some way in his present opinion before any signing could be contemplated.</P><P>A comprehensive report in our Intelligence Report series, examining in depth the situation of offshore transparency and secrecy in a number of the most prominent jurisdictions, is available in the Lowtax Library at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/subs_reports.asp and a description of the report can be seen at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/description_report2.asp</P><IMG border=0 alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width=125 height=16> </P><BR><IMG border=0 name=right_r6_c1 src="/rightr6c1.gif" width=160 height=40><B>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</B></P>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

The previous definition applied only to a fund's custodian, administrator, investment manager or registrar (and any person to whom a service provider delegated part or all of its function). As a result of the amendment to the definition of ?service provider?, auditors are now required to comply with the ?fit and proper? tests set out in sections 7 and 14 of the Act.</P><P><B>Service Provider Disclosure for Exempted Funds</B></P><P>Section 7(1)(b) of the Act requires that the operator of an exempted fund and its service providers are ?fit and proper persons to act as such?. In addition, section 9 of the Act sets out the criteria for exemption of a fund and includes the requirement to have a recognized fund administrator, an auditor and a Bermuda resident officer or trustee or resident representative who has access to the books and records of the investment fund. To bring exempted funds into line with authorized funds, the Amendment Act introduces the additional requirements for exempted funds to appoint an investment manager, registrar, custodian and/or prime broker. All such additional service providers will be included in the vetting process per section 7(1) of the Act in the same way as authorized funds.</P><P><B>Changes in control for Fund Administrators</B></P><P>Fund administrators are now required to notify the Bermuda Monetary Authority in advance when there is a prospective change of control. The Authority now has power under section 45 of the Act to object to a change in control to prevent it happening or to object to existing controllers where, in the opinion of the Authority, they are no longer fit and proper to be controllers. These amendments mirror the provisions which already exist in Bermuda for other licensed entities such as banks and investment businesses.</P><P><B>Rights of Appeal</B></P><P>Section 55 of the Act has been amended to provide a right of appeal in circumstances where the Authority has exercised its power to object under section 45. The person who is the subject of the Authority's objection may appeal to a Tribunal constituted under section 56. This right of appeal provides that proper judicial review of the authority's exercise of its powers in accordance with section 45 is provided for under the Act.</P><P><B>The ?Four-Eyes? Criterion for Fund Administrators</B></P><P>The concept that business should be directed by at least two individuals is a standard regulatory requirement based on sound corporate governance standards. The amended Schedule to the Act titled ?Minimum Criteria for Licensing? provides that fund administration business in Bermuda should be directed by at least two individuals to ensure that no one individual exercises excessive control over the management of a licensed entity. The question as to how the ?four-eyes? criterion is met will be for each fund administrator to assess in the light of its business. Although the Authority recognizes that the arrangements are unlikely to be the same for every company, all fund administrators will be expected to demonstrate how its arrangements satisfy the ?four-eyes? criterion.</P><P><B>Fund Officers to be ?fit and proper?</B></P><P>Section 14(1) of the Act previously required only that a mutual fund notify the Authority of persons appointed as directors. This section has now been amended to provide that any officers of a fund should be ?fit and proper? at the time of authorization to ensure that the business of the fund is being conducted in a prudent manner.</P><P>. </P><IMG border=0 alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width=125 height=16> </P><BR><IMG border=0 name=right_r6_c1 src="/rightr6c1.gif" width=160 height=40><B>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</B></P>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

The proposed 2011 budget provides for additional tax revenues of EUR1.2bn over the course of the coming year ? half a billion euros less than originally intended, and, notably, for the introduction of both a bank levy and a fuel surcharge. The government?s tax and savings package is designed to reduce the country?s deficit in 2011 to 3.2% of gross domestic product (GDP).</P><P>At the heart of its budget, the government has firmly embedded plans for a bank levy to be imposed on banks in Austria from next year, expected to generate in the region of EUR500m in additional revenues for the state. Of this sum, EUR340m will be derived from either a 0.04% or 0.08% levy imposed on capital assets, and the remaining EUR160m from speculative derivative trades. Determined by the size of the bank, a 0.04% tax will be levied on banks with a balance of more than EUR1bn, while a 0.08% tax will be levied on banks with a balance in excess of EUR20bn.</P><P>In addition, the government also expects to generate in the region of EUR536m a year by introducing a carbon dioxide surcharge on fuel of EUR20 per tonne. This levy corresponds to an increase of 5 cents per litre in the price of diesel and to a rise of 4 cents per litre in the cost of petrol. Also, individuals electing to purchase a new high emissions vehicle (with emissions in excess of 180g of carbon dioxide) will be liable to pay a higher carbon dioxide surcharge than under the existing fuel consumption levy.</P><P>Other key proposals outlined by the government include plans to increase the taxation of interest earnings in foundations from 12.5% currently to 25%, and to tax profits from real estate in future, if the founder is a legal person. Under existing legislation, companies are able to avoid corporate taxation if property is placed in a foundation. Individuals may, however, continue to receive fiscal benefits if a property is placed in a foundation after a certain holding period. These measures are set to yield in the region of EUR100m for the government.</P><P>The government also plans to abolish the holding period for shares. Up until now, gains from shares have only been subject to tax within a one-year holding period. After this period, no tax is due. From January 1, 2011, however, profits from all stocks and shares will be subject to a 25% capital gains tax, irrespective of the holding period. The capital gains tax is to be withheld by the banks and subsequently transferred to the country?s tax authorities. The measure is expected to generate around EUR30m for the government in the first year, rising to EUR250m by 2014.</P><P>Other key measures contained in the budget and outlined by the government include plans to increase tobacco tax in Austria, and to introduce a plane ticket tax. Based on the German model, from next year a levy of EUR8 will be imposed on all flights to Europe, and a levy of up to EUR40 imposed on longer flights, designed to generate EUR60m in the first year and thereafter EUR90m. The government aims to generate a further EUR300m by removing existing tax loopholes and by clamping down on tax fraud.</P><P>Commenting on the budget, Austria?s Chancellor Werner Faymann and Finance Minister Josef Pr?ll emphasized that it ensured a fair distribution of the fiscal burden and that it provided a clear way out of the debt trap. Chancellor Faymann nevertheless acknowledged that the budget was far from set in stone, and that it was subject to review, hinting that changes could not be ruled out.</P><P>Faymann has also reportedly expressed his determination recently to strive for a reform of the country?s taxation within the current legislative period. Economic conditions permitting, Faymann intends to pursue the idea of wealth taxes in order to reduce the burden on employment, focussing on executive salaries and the introduction of a financial transactions tax. These plans had, he indicated, by no means been abandoned.</P><P>. </P><IMG border=0 alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width=125 height=16> </P><BR><IMG border=0 name=right_r6_c1 src="/rightr6c1.gif" width=160 height=40><B>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</B></P>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

We wanted to gauge what the funds community really wanted in order to create an environment which would stimulate further growth of the industry. The regulatory changes bring the DIFC in line with other leading financial hubs around the world. ?</p><p>With this new regime (Category 3 License), Carlyle's investment team in Dubai, outside of the DIFC, will be able to establish and advise investment funds domiciled in the Centre. As a result, Carlyle has established Carlyle MENA Investment Advisors Limited, an investment vehicle that will partner with its existing regional fund Carlyle MENA Partners, LP. This new vehicle will not raise additional capital investment. Under its former regulatory structure (Category 4 License), Carlyle's investment team in Dubai was only authorized to provide advisory services to an investment fund domiciled outside of Dubai.</p><p>Walid Musallam, Managing Director and Head of Carlyle's MENA team, said: ?The new Funds Regime is a testament to the DIFC being home of choice for private equity firms, and we are pleased to be the first such firm to benefit from the law. The DIFC's stature and importance as a financial hub is growing. We see great promise investment throughout the MENA region and look forward to building upon the many valued relationships we have developed ?.</p><p>.</p><img border="0" alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width="125" height="16"> <br><img border="0" name="right_r6_c1" src="/rightr6c1.gif" width="160" height="40"><b>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</b>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

Under the agreement, double taxation will be avoided in that any New Zealand tax paid by the companies will be allowed as credit against the tax payable in Hong Kong in respect of the income, subject to the provisions of the tax laws of Hong Kong.</p><p>Without the DTA, Hong Kong residents receiving dividends from New Zealand not attributable to a permanent establishment in New Zealand can be subject to a withholding tax, which is currently set at 30%. Under the agreement, such withholding tax rate will be reduced to 15%. The withholding tax rate will be further lowered to 5% or 0% for qualifying beneficial owners.</p><p>Furthermore, Hong Kong residents receiving royalties from New Zealand are subject to a withholding tax of 15% current in New Zealand. Under the agreement, the royalties? withholding tax will be capped at 5%. The New Zealand interest withholding tax on Hong Kong residents will be reduced from the current rate of 15% to 10%.</p><p>The Hong Kong New Zealand DTA also incorporates the latest Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development of international standards on the exchange of tax information.</p><p>It is the 17th comprehensive DTA concluded by Hong Kong with its trading partners, and was welcomed by Tsang as further strengthening the bilateral relationship by encouraging the flow of investment and talent between Hong Kong and New Zealand.</p><p>"This agreement is an important step forward in strengthening our economic relationship with Hong Kong ? Français said.""It is a significant addition to New Zealand?s network of double tax agreements with key trading partners and is potentially valuable to businesses and investors from both here and Hong Kong."</p><p>Hong Kong is currently New Zealand?s ninth largest market for exports and an important source of investment. It is hoped that the DTA will make New Zealand a more attractive investment destination for Hong Kong investors, and will make it easier for New Zealand businesses to invest in Hong Kong.</p><p>The agreement will come into force after the completion of ratification procedures on both sides.</p><img border="0" alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width="125" height="16"> <br><img border="0" name="right_r6_c1" src="/rightr6c1.gif" width="160" height="40"><b>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</b>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

At the London Summit in April 2009, G20 members committed to rectifying measures that had already been taken. Successive summits, including the latest G20 summit in Toronto in June 2010, extended the commitments until 2013.</P><P>The report covers thirty of the EU's trading partners over the two-year period from October 2008 to September 2010. The measures found range from classical trade barriers, such as import bans or tariff increases, to "buy national" and other behind-the-border policies. The report finds that many of the new barriers are rapidly becoming permanent features of the world trading system and risk undermining the economic recovery.</P><P>Between May and September this year, 66 new trade restrictive measures have been introduced by the EU's trading partners. This brings the total figure of measures in force to 332 since the beginning of the crisis. The report therefore points out that, while the economic recovery is under way in many countries, this has not yet been translated into a reversal of the tendency towards new trade restrictive measures.</P><P>Only 37, or about 10%, of the measures taken in the context of the crisis have been withdrawn or have expired. This figure, the report says, is at odds with the repeated commitment made by G20 leaders and confirmed at the latest G20 Summit in Toronto to "rectify" such measures.</P><P>Among the countries investigated, Russia is once again confirmed as the trading partner with the most trade restrictive measures taken since the start of the crisis. The report considers Argentina's import licensing system and import reference values to remain of serious concern, but Indonesia seems to have refrained to some extent from introducing further trade-restrictive measures.</P><P>The EC sees the negative trend in government procurement as showing evidence of new worrying developments. The protection of domestic industry and jobs from foreign competition seems to be the underlying motivation in the introduction of new limitations in most cases. Most recently, with its ?Buy National? policy, Brazil has joined the countries which apply additional restrictions in this area.</P><P>It also discloses a notable trend towards investment-related restrictions. Russia, as well as Algeria and Nigeria, increasingly resort to local content or technology transfer requirements as a precondition for market access. This trend is coherent with the observed proliferation of new stimulus measures or other support schemes, frequently coupled with selected tariff increases.</P><P>The report points out that these developments suggest a strongly focused industrial policy in several countries aimed at fostering development of local industries. Such measures stem particularly from Russia, South Africa and South Korea. It shows that the most affected EU sectors are still agro-food, automotive, services and textiles and clothing, although there have been fewer measures applied in the steel and other metals sectors.</P><P>EU Trade Commissioner, Karel De Gucht, said: "With the economic recovery still fragile, the world's major economies must remove the trade restrictive measures that put a brake on growth. For the world economy to move forward, we have to roll back these barriers. The G20 summit in Seoul needs to demonstrate leadership in this respect."</P><P>. </P><IMG border=0 alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width=125 height=16> </P><BR><IMG border=0 name=right_r6_c1 src="/rightr6c1.gif" width=160 height=40><B>THE LOWTAX LIBRARY</B></P>One of the web's largest and most authoritative business and investment information sources.

Paper-based system is tedious and convenient for tourists and retailers at the time of purchase because of the need for reimbursement to complete application forms. At the airport, tourists have counters in queue at different counters, including Singapore Customs? and to reimburse the counters operated by respective agencies, making their claims.</p><p>However, it is said that the new electronic tourist refund Scheme (eTRS), full implementation would be a significant improvement on the current system on paper. Tourists will suffer the same system, even when they're purchasing different retailers Singapore and can expect a more rapid clearance at airport checkpoints process.</p><p>The details of the purchase to the point of sale will be captured in electronic and marked in a token (for example, a credit card) by the tourist. At the airport, everything a tourist must do is to use his passport and token to retrieve records its purchase kiosk validation details and choose either obtain its GST refund in cash or paid to the credit card account.</p><p>The new eTRS will be implemented in phases of mid 2011. The Government aims to 500 retailers participate in the phase pilot. The current system of tourist refund on paper will continue to operate until the eTRS is fully implemented in the third quarter of 2012.</p><img border="0" alt="" src="/button1-addthis.gif" width="125" height="16"> <br><img border="0" name="right_r6_c1" src="/rightr6c1.gif" width="160" height="40"><b>LOWTAX library</b>More great and most authorities business and investment sources from the web, the information.
