The clock is ticking: are you ready for DAC6?
The Sixth EU Directive on Administrative Co-Operation, more catchily known as “DAC6”, is intended to target harmful tax practices, by increasing reporting and transparency of certain cross-border arrangements. Whilst its implementation has been delayed by Covid-19, it is important for intermediaries with potential obligations (including banks, lawyers, accountants, trustees and asset managers) to understand the requirements, particularly as they look back to 2018.
In this webinar, Martin Killer and Ed Powles will outline what DAC6 is, the deadlines, the areas of difficulty and HMRC’s approach (as per recently issued guidance). They will give valuable insights as to how firms are dealing with this in practice, including reviewing historic transactions and putting in place procedures for the future.
