The debate with respect to the recognition of Indigenous rights, title, and jurisdiction has largely been won. It has now moved to how best to implement those rights, title, and inherent jurisdictions. For Indigenous taxation jurisdiction, implementation must address challenges related to taxpayer representation, concurrent jurisdiction, service agreements with other governments, administrative capacity, financial management, and access to public debt capital at competitive rates. In this article, the author argues that the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA) has been successful in overcoming these challenges. The FMA has protected and expanded Indigenous tax jurisdiction through standards and institutional support. As a result, it represents an effective path for interested Indigenous governments "to exercise [their] inherently governmental power of taxation" affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada in Matsqui Indian Band, and to expand their use of that power.
关于承认土著居民权利、头衔和管辖权的辩论基本上取得了胜利。它现在已经转向如何最好地实施这些权利、所有权和固有管辖权。对于土著税收管辖权,实施必须解决与纳税人代表、并行管辖权、与其他政府的服务协议、行政能力、财务管理以及以具有竞争力的价格获得公共债务资本相关的挑战。在本文中,作者认为,第一民族财政管理法(FMA)已经成功地克服了这些挑战。FMA通过标准和机构支持保护和扩大土著税收管辖权。因此,它为感兴趣的土著政府“行使其固有的政府税收权力”提供了一条有效途径,加拿大最高法院在Matsqui印第安部落案中确认了这一点,并扩大了他们对这一权力的使用。

This study examines the complexity of Canada's corporate income tax system from the perspective of multinational corporations and compares it with the complexity of the US system, also taking into account measures of complexity for 19 other member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The author finds that with regard to the Canadian tax code, the most complex laws are those on corporate reorganization, transfer pricing, and controlled foreign corporations, and with regard to the Canadian tax framework, the most complex areas are tax audits, tax-law enactment, and tax guidance. In comparison with other OECD countries, Canada is remarkably similar to the United States. Both countries have a medium level of overall complexity, and both have a more complex tax code but a less complex tax framework than other countries. However, a closer examination of the Canadian and US tax codes and tax frameworks reveals some significant differences in complexity levels, particularly in respect of certain tax laws.
本研究从跨国公司的角度考察了加拿大企业所得税制度的复杂性,并将其与美国制度的复杂性进行了比较,同时也考虑了经济合作与发展组织(OECD)其他19个成员国的复杂性措施。作者发现,就加拿大税法而言,最复杂的法律是关于公司重组、转让定价和受控外国公司的法律,而就加拿大的税收框架而言,最复杂的领域是税务审计、税法制定和税收指导。与其他经合组织国家相比,加拿大与美国非常相似。这两个国家的总体复杂程度都处于中等水平,两者的税法都比其他国家复杂,但税收框架的复杂程度都比其他国家低。然而,仔细研究加拿大和美国的税法和税收框架,就会发现它们在复杂程度上存在一些显著差异,特别是在某些税法方面。

Corporate Tax Planning: Impact of COVID-19 and Transfer Pricing: Approaches for Comparability Adjustments 企业税收筹划:新冠肺炎疫情的影响与转让定价:可比性调整方法

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has varied significantly across market sectors and companies, and the disruptions generated by the pandemic have had major implications for the transfer-pricing practices of many multinationals. The COVID-19 crisis has challenged the efficiency of traditional benchmarking of profit margins and markups on the basis of the profitability of comparable companies. In this article, we provide a framework for addressing two key questions: (1) how to ensure that the data used for setting or testing transfer-pricing results are appropriate in terms of comparability and that they adequately reflect economic reality for the tested party; and (2) what adjustments need to be made if the tested party's results fall below the arm's-length range. Given the extraordinary circumstances, we cannot rely on a simple analysis of historical data to adjust for the impact faced by businesses as a result of COVID-19. For example, in situations where the taxpayer's results have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to a greater extent than the results of comparable companies, the approaches outlined in this article will provide the taxpayer with an estimated arm's-length range of profitability for the comparable companies that is calibrated to the impact of the pandemic on the tested party's results. These approaches are aligned with the transfer-pricing guidance for COVID-19 adjustments issued by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in December 2020.
COVID-19大流行对不同市场部门和公司的影响差异很大,大流行造成的中断对许多跨国公司的转移定价做法产生了重大影响。新冠肺炎危机对传统的以可比公司的盈利能力为基础的利润率和加价基准的效率提出了挑战。在本文中,我们提供了一个框架来解决两个关键问题:(1)如何确保用于设置或测试转移定价结果的数据在可比性方面是适当的,并且它们充分反映了被测试方的经济现实;(2)如果被测试方的结果低于正常范围,需要做哪些调整。在这种特殊情况下,我们不能依靠对历史数据的简单分析来调整企业因COVID-19而面临的影响。例如,在纳税人的业绩受COVID-19大流行影响的程度大于可比公司的业绩的情况下,本文概述的方法将为纳税人提供可比公司的盈利能力的估计距离范围,该范围是根据大流行对被测试方业绩的影响进行校准的。这些方法与经济合作与发展组织于2020年12月发布的COVID-19调整转移定价指南相一致。

Policy Forum: Establishing an Urban Reserve—Property Tax Challenges and Opportunities 政策论坛:建立城市储备房产税的挑战与机遇

Urban reserves offer a unique economic development tool for First Nation governments by providing access to markets and infrastructure unavailable on most reserve lands in Canada. Asimakiniseekan Askiy is Canada's first urban reserve established on land previously owned by a city. The urban reserve was established in Saskatoon by the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation in 1988. Asimakiniseekan Askiy provides an example of the economic potential of urban reserves for First Nations and their members, as well as municipal governments and their citizens. The urban reserve is currently home to 60 First Nation and non-First Nation businesses and their 700 employees. In 2020, the urban reserve contributed $465,662 to the city of Saskatoon in service fee payments. However, before this economic potential could be realized, property taxation presented a sizable barrier in the path of taking Asimakiniseekan Askiy from an innovative idea to a successful reality. Establishing an urban reserve has significant property tax implications, since the process requires the transfer of property from the taxing authority of a municipal jurisdiction to the tax jurisdiction of a First Nation government. Agreements providing for the transfer of tax authority also include negotiations relating to the continued provision of services to the urban reserve by the municipality. This article first provides a summary of the statutory environment surrounding the formation and taxation of an urban reserve. A case study of the establishment and 33 years of operation of Asimakiniseekan Askiy is then provided, to illustrate the property tax implications and municipal service agreement process necessary for Canadian communities to achieve the economic benefits of urban reserves. The authors identify property tax challenges inherent in the establishment of an urban reserve and offer recommendations to improve access to urban reserves as an innovative economic development tool.
城市保留地为原住民政府提供了一个独特的经济发展工具,提供了进入加拿大大多数保留地无法获得的市场和基础设施的机会。Asimakiniseekan Askiy是加拿大第一个建立在以前属于城市的土地上的城市保护区。这个城市保护区是1988年在萨斯卡通由穆斯基克湖克里族建立的。Asimakiniseekan Askiy为原住民及其成员、市政府及其公民提供了城市保护区经济潜力的一个例子。城市保护区目前有60家第一民族和非第一民族企业及其700名员工。2020年,城市储备金向萨斯卡通市缴纳了465,662美元的服务费。然而,在实现这一经济潜力之前,财产税在将Asimakiniseekan Askiy从创新理念变为成功现实的道路上构成了相当大的障碍。建立城市储备具有重大的财产税影响,因为这一过程需要将财产从市政管辖的税务当局转移到第一民族政府的税务管辖。规定转让税务权力的协议还包括与市政当局继续向城市储备提供服务有关的谈判。本文首先概述了城市保护区形成和征税的法定环境。然后提供了一个关于Asimakiniseekan Askiy的建立和33年运营的案例研究,以说明加拿大社区实现城市储备经济利益所必需的财产税影响和市政服务协议程序。作者指出了建立城市储备所固有的财产税挑战,并提出了将城市储备作为创新经济发展工具的建议。

Policy Forum: Implementing the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation Property Tax System—Opportunities, Challenges, and Lessons Learned 政策论坛:实施乔治亚岛第一民族房产税制度的示范——机遇、挑战和经验教训
Pub Date : 2021-11-01 DOI: 10.32721/ctj.2021.69.3.pf.mccue
Kate McCue, Billy McCue
In 2018, the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation (GIFN) implemented a First Nation property tax system under the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (FMA)—one of the earliest First Nations in Ontario to do so. Implementation of a property tax system gave GIFN an opportunity to improve funding for and expand local services, and provide a more equitable sharing of local service costs between cottagers leasing First Nation land and the First Nation. Key challenges encountered when implementing the property tax system were building consensus around the need for a tax system, building an appropriate administrative infrastructure, carrying out property assessments, and professionals lacking knowledge of First Nation property tax. These challenges, however, presented opportunities to create a knowledge base around property taxation within GIFN, among cottage leaseholders, and in the wider community. Key lessons learned were (1) start as soon as possible; (2) First Nations Tax Commission support and standards are important; (3) staff training is important; (4) communicate early and often; (5) hold open houses; (6) local services are more than garbage collection; (7) property taxes do not harm lease rates or cottage sales; (8) educate lawyers, real estate agents, and other professionals; (9) startup costs were significant; (10) coordinate laws and standards with provincial variations; (11) modernize systems; and (12) utilize other parts of the FMA.
2018年,乔治亚岛第一民族(GIFN)的Chippewas根据《第一民族财政管理法》(FMA)实施了第一民族财产税制度,这是安大略省最早这样做的第一民族之一。财产税制度的实施使GIFN有机会改善为地方服务提供的资金和扩大地方服务,并在租赁第一民族土地的村民和第一民族之间更公平地分担地方服务成本。在实施财产税制度时遇到的主要挑战是围绕税收制度的必要性达成共识,建立适当的行政基础设施,进行财产评估,以及缺乏土著财产税知识的专业人员。然而,这些挑战为在GIFN内部、在村舍租赁人之间以及在更广泛的社区中建立财产税知识库提供了机会。吸取的主要教训是:(1)尽快开始;(2)原住民税务委员会的支持和标准很重要;(3)员工培训重要;(4)尽早、经常沟通;(五)举办开放日;(6)本地服务多为垃圾收集;(7)财产税不影响租赁费率或平房销售;(八)培养律师、房地产经纪人和其他专业人才;(9)启动成本显著;(10)协调各省的法律、标准;(11)制度现代化;(12)利用FMA的其他部分。

Selected US Tax Developments: Adams Challenge (UK) Limited: When Does a Treaty Provision Conflict with the Code? 美国税收发展:亚当斯挑战(英国)有限公司:条约条款何时与法典发生冲突?
Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.32721/ctj.2021.69.2.ustd
Michael J. Miller
In the United States, statutes and treaties are on an equal footing. Thus, in the event of a conflict between a statute and a treaty, the treaty does not automatically take precedence over the statute. Moreover, the US courts go to great lengths to avoid finding the existence of any conflict. This article discusses a recent case in which the Tax Court held, among other things, that a punitive deduction-disallowance rule applicable solely to non-US persons did not conflict with the non-discrimination article of the income tax treaty in effect between the United States and Canada.
在美国,法律和条约是平等的。因此,在成文法和条约之间发生冲突的情况下,条约并不自动优先于成文法。此外,美国法院不遗余力地避免发现任何冲突的存在。本文讨论了最近的一个案例,其中税务法院认为,除其他事项外,仅适用于非美国人的惩罚性扣除-不扣税规则与美国和加拿大之间有效的所得税协定的非歧视条款并不冲突。

Embracing remote work, either fully or partially, allows employers to offer the flexibility that many employees are seeking and also to benefit from various cost savings. As organizations embark on this journey, there are many tax and payroll considerations that should be reviewed up front so that risks relating to non-compliance can be mitigated. What are these corporate tax and payroll considerations? Can a formal policy help to mitigate compliance risks? What are other considerations besides tax and payroll? Should government policy support this workforce shift? This article summarizes the various considerations in developing an organizational remote work policy and concludes that, as is the case for any other business strategy, remote work arrangements have their benefits provided that the associated complexity and costs can be effectively managed.
无论是完全还是部分地接受远程工作,雇主都可以提供许多员工所寻求的灵活性,并从各种成本节约中受益。当组织开始这一旅程时,应该预先审查许多税务和工资方面的考虑,以便减轻与不合规相关的风险。这些公司税和工资方面的考虑是什么?正式的政策能否帮助减轻法规遵从性风险?除了税收和工资还有什么需要考虑的?政府政策是否应该支持这种劳动力转移?本文总结了开发组织远程工作策略的各种考虑因素,并得出结论,与任何其他业务策略一样,远程工作安排有其好处,只要相关的复杂性和成本能够得到有效管理。

Corporate Income Shifting in an Era of Tax Multilateralism: The Impact of Exchange-of-Information Agreements 税收多边时代的企业收入转移:信息交换协议的影响
Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.32721/ctj.2021.69.2.mescall
Devan Mescall, Paul Nielsen
Using data from the annual reports of over 100,000 subsidiaries of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from 55 countries between 2003 and 2012, the authors of this article investigate the impact of exchange-of-information agreements ("EOI agreements") on tax-motivated income shifting. Transparency created by the signing of EOI agreements is expected to reduce the tax-motivated shifting of income by multinational corporations. Whether such agreements affect the income-shifting behaviour of multinational corporations is an unanswered question. The authors find evidence that, on average, EOI agreements do have an impact on tax-motivated income shifting. Additionally, they find that more advanced, modern EOI agreements are associated with a larger decrease in tax-motivated income shifting compared to the impact of early EOI agreements. This evidence challenges the prevalent assumption in empirical studies that EOI agreements are homogeneous. Supplemental analyses suggest that factors that affect the information asymmetry between MNEs and tax authorities, such as corporations with high levels of intangibles and tax authorities with strong transfer-pricing rules and enforcement, can diminish or enhance the effectiveness of EOI agreements in moderating tax-motivated income shifting. The evidence provided by this study shows that consideration of the tax authorities' information environment and the substance of an EOI agreement is essential when assessing the impact of such an agreement on the tax behaviour of sophisticated taxpayers such as multinational corporations.
本文作者利用来自55个国家的10万家跨国企业(MNEs)子公司2003年至2012年的年度报告数据,研究了信息交换协议(“EOI协议”)对税收动机性收入转移的影响。签署意向书协议所带来的透明度有望减少跨国公司因税收而转移收入的行为。这些协议是否会影响跨国公司的收入转移行为是一个没有答案的问题。作者发现,平均而言,意向书协议确实对税收驱动的收入转移产生了影响。此外,他们发现,与早期意向书协议的影响相比,更先进、更现代的意向书协议与税收驱动的收入转移的更大减少有关。这一证据挑战了实证研究中普遍存在的假设,即意向书协议是同质的。补充分析表明,影响跨国公司与税务机关之间信息不对称的因素,如无形资产水平高的公司和转让定价规则和执法力度强的税务机关,可能会削弱或增强意向性投资协议在缓和税收动机性收入转移方面的有效性。本研究提供的证据表明,在评估这种协议对跨国公司等复杂纳税人的税收行为的影响时,考虑税务机关的信息环境和EOI协议的实质是必不可少的。

Transparency created by the signing of EOI agreements is expected to reduce the tax-motivated shifting of income by multinational corporations. Whether such agreements affect the income-shifting behaviour of multinational corporations is an unanswered question. The authors find evidence that, on average, EOI agreements do have an impact on tax-motivated income shifting. Additionally, they find that more advanced, modern EOI agreements are associated with a larger decrease in tax-motivated income shifting compared to the impact of early EOI agreements. This evidence challenges the prevalent assumption in empirical studies that EOI agreements are homogeneous. Supplemental analyses suggest that factors that affect the information asymmetry between MNEs and tax authorities, such as corporations with high levels of intangibles and tax authorities with strong transfer-pricing rules and enforcement, can diminish or enhance the effectiveness of EOI agreements in moderating tax-motivated income shifting.
