However, the Member State concerned may make use of the &#8220;look- through&#8221; treatment<\/li>\n<li>the EU shareholder is taxed as if the income had accrued under domestic rules<\/li>\n<li>the reporting company no longer receives a tax residence certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION, PENALTIES AND TAX AUDITS<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Creation of a central database with information on EU companies that are considered reporting companies and are required to disclose additional information in their tax returns<\/li>\n<li>penalties of up to 5% of annual revenue for companies that fail to file reports or submit incorrect reports<\/li>\n<li>Member States may request other Member States to undertake a tax audit if they suspect that an EU company is not complying with the Directive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the content of this document, please contact Andersen.
