Today, in a statement issued by Vice President Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission confirmed that it will appeal the judgment of the General Court of the European Union in the Apple State aid case to the Court of Justice of the European Union.  On 15th July 2020, the General Court of the European Union found that no State aid had been given by Ireland to Apple and that the Irish branches of Apple had paid the correct amount of tax due under legislation.

 

Vice President Margrethe Vestager stated that

“the General Court judgment raises important legal issues that are of relevance to the Commission in its application of State aid rules to tax planning cases. The Commission also respectfully considers that in its judgment the General Court has made a number of errors of law. For this reason, the Commission is bringing this matter before the European Court of Justice.”

 

 

Ireland had previously appealed the Commission’s Decision on the basis that the correct amount of Irish tax had in fact been paid by Apple and that Ireland had not provided State aid to Apple.  The judgment from the General Court of the European Union vindicates Ireland’s position.

 

The Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe T.D. said,

“I note the decision of the European Commission to lodge an appeal to the CJEU. Ireland has not yet been served with formal notice of the appeal. When it is received, the Government will need to take some time to consider, in detail, the legal grounds set out in the appeal and to consult with the Government’s legal advisors, in responding to this appeal.”

 

The funds in escrow of €13 billion will only be released when there has been a final determination in the European Courts on the validity of the Commission’s decision.

 

This appeal process could take up to two years.

In Revenue’s most recent guidance material outlining how cryptocurrencies transactions should be treated for Irish tax purposes (under Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Corporation Tax, VAT and Payroll), they formed the view that no special tax rules are required.  For further information please click the link: https://www.revenue.ie/en/tax-professionals/tdm/income-tax-capital-gains-tax-corporation-tax/part-02/02-01-03.pdf

 

Cryptocurrencies are also known as virtual currencies and include the following:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Ripple
• Dash
• Litecoin

 

Ireland has its own cryptocurrency called “Irishcoin”.

 

 

One of the common questions arising is whether the profits or losses arising from cryptocurrency transactions are liable to Income Tax/Corporation Tax or if instead, they are subject to Capital Gains Tax.

 

In other words, it is important to keep in mind that there are different tax treatments for those trading in cryptocurrency and those investing in it.

 

If the cryptocurrency transactions are deemed to a trading activity then the profits are subject to Income Tax/Corporation Tax.  Capital Gains Tax, however, applies to gains arising from the disposal of cryptocurrency which is held as an investment.

 

 

Trading activity or investment?

 

This answer is determined by reference to what are known as the “Badges of Trade” as well as to related case law.

 

The ‘Badges of Trade’ are a set of indicators to decide if an activity is a trading or an investment activity and include the following:

 

1. The Subject Matter
2. Length of Ownership
3. Frequency of similar transaction
4. Supplementary work to enhance it or make it become more marketable
5. Circumstances for realisation

 

It is not essential that all the above “badges” be present for a trade to exist. When you examine all the badges present in the context of the activity carried out then it’s possible to ascertain if you are carrying out a trade in cryptocurrencies or investing in them.

 

Another way to look at this is to consider whether you are a passive or an active investor.

 

If you make a one-off purchase of a few coins that you retain in the hope the value increases then it would be fair to say you are a passive investor and any gain arising in the case of an individual, would be liable to Capital Gains Tax at 33% after offsetting any prior year and current year capital losses less the individual’s personal CGT exemption of €1,270.

 

If, however, there are multiple transactions taking place on a frequent basis, with a high level of organisation and a commercial motive (i.e. the aim of buying and selling the coins is to create/optimise profit) then it would be reasonable to consider yourself an active trader and any profits arising would be liable to Income Tax / Corporation Tax.  For example, profits derived from crypto mining activities carried on by an individual or a company, would be treated as trading profits and liable to Income Tax/Corporation Tax.

 

It is essential, therefore, that this should be correctly established by each taxpayer, given their own specific set of circumstances, from the very beginning, to avoid any costly errors further down the line.

 

As with all tax issues, it is vital to establish the residence and domicile of the investor.  Depending on the location of the cryptocurrency exchange, gains arising for non-resident individuals may be outside the scope of Irish tax.  Individuals who are Irish resident but non domiciled may be able to available of the remittance basis of tax.

 

 

 

What about VAT?

 

The Revenue Commissioners consider cryptocurrencies to be ‘negotiable instruments’ and therefore exempt from VAT.  This treatment applies to companies and individuals buying and selling cryptocurrencies.  Mining activities are also considered to be outside the scope of Irish VAT.

 

Financial services consisting of the exchange of cryptocurrencies for traditional currency are exempt from VAT where the company performing the exchange acts as the principal.

 

Value Added Tax, however, is due from suppliers of goods or services sold in exchange for cryptocurrencies. The taxable amount for VAT purposes should be calculated in Euro at the time of the supply.

 

 

 

What about Payroll Taxes?

 

Where an employee’s wages and salaries are paid in a cryptocurrency, the value of these emoluments for the purposes of calculating payroll liabilities is the Euro amount attaching to that cryptocurrency at the time those payments are made to the employee.

 

The amounts contained in returns made to Revenue must be shown in Euro.

 

 

Finally, as crypto currencies are traded on a number of exchanges, a reasonable effort should always be made to use an appropriate valuation for the transaction in question.

On 29th July 2019 the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership was launched in Ireland.  This new legal requirement forms part of Ireland’s implementation of the 4th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive.  The new Central Register of Beneficial Ownership requires that all companies file details of their Ultimate Beneficial Owners with the Companies Registrations Office.  Under the Regulations, the commencement date for the obligation to file on the Central Register was 22^nd June 2019 and companies must deliver their beneficial ownership information to the CRO by 22^nd November 2019.

 

 

Going forward, newly incorporated companies will have five months from the date of incorporation to register their information.

 

 

It is considered a breach of statutory duty not to file within the deadline date.

 

 

This is a new filing requirement, in addition to the other usual requirements, for example, filing a B1 annual return.

 

 

 

Background

Irish corporates and certain other legal entities have been required to create and maintain a beneficial ownership register since November 2016.  On 18th November 2018 the Anti Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Criminal Justice) Act 2018 was signed which transposed the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Directive into Irish law.

 

 

 

Who is a Beneficial Owner?

 

A beneficial owner is defined an individual/natural person who owns or controls directly or indirectly:

1. more than 25% of the equity
2. more than 25% of the voting rights or
3. has capacity to control the company by other means.

 

For definition of “beneficial owner” under the European Union (Anti-Money Laundering: Beneficial Ownership of Corporate Entities) Regulations 2019, please click: https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/si/110/made/en/print

 

 

In situations where no beneficial owners can be identified, the names of the directors, senior managers or any other individual who exerts a dominant influence within the company must be entered in the register of beneficial owners.  In other words, where the beneficial owners are unknown, the company must take “all reasonable steps” to ensure the beneficial ownership information is gathered and recorded on the register.

 

 

 

The following information is required to be filed with the RBO in respect of each beneficial owner:

1. The name,
2. Date of Birth,
3. Nationality,
4. Residential Address,
5. PPS Number, if applicable – The Registrar will not disclose any PPS Numbers and will only use them for verification purposes.
6. A Statement of the nature and extent of the ownership interest held or extent of the control exercised,
7. The date of entry on the register as a beneficial owner,
8. The date of ceasing to be a beneficial owner.

 

 

For non-Irish residents who do not hold a PPS number, a Transaction Number must be requested from the Companies Registration Office.  This is done by completing and submitting a Form BEN2 and having it notarised in the relevant jurisdiction.

 

 

Failure to comply with the Regulations is an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a Class A fine, or conviction on indictment to a fine up to €500,000.

 

 

Going forward, any changes to a Company’s Internal Beneficial Ownership Register must be updated in the Central Register within fourteen days of the change having occurred.

 

 

Once a company has been dissolved the registrar will delete all information held in relation to that entity, after the expiration of ten years.

 

 

 

Who has access to this information?

 

As required by EU anti-money laundering laws, members of the public will have restricted access to the CRBO including:

• The name, month/year of birth, country of residence and nationality of each beneficial owner.
• The nature and extent of the interest held or the nature and extent of the control exercised by the beneficial owner.

 

 

The 2019 regulations provide for the following to have unrestricted access to the Central Register:

• An Garda Síochána
• The Revenue Commissioners
• Members of the Financial Intelligence Unit Ireland
• The Criminal Assets Bureau

As you’re aware in Budget 2018, a new tax initiative of a zero per cent rate of Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) on company owned electric vehicles, for a period of one year, was rolled out.   From 1st January to 31st December 2021 (i.e. for a three year period) there will be no Benefit in Kind charge on vehicles solely powered by electricity if the original market value is less than €50,000.  This is boost to many employees and Company Directors.

 

Please be aware this favourable treatment does not apply to hybrids.

 

In situations where the open market value of the vehicle is greater than €50,000 the excess will be liable to tax as a Benefit in Kind.

 

Electric vehicles valued at in excess of €50,000 that were provided to the employee between 1st January 2017 and 9th October 2018 continue to be exempt from a BIK charge.  Please keep in mind, however, that this exemption could be affected if the electric car which was provided to the original user  between 1st January 2017 and 9th October 2018 is subsequently provided to a new user.

In today’s Budget, there were a number of UK tax changes and tax policy announcements aimed at supporting businesses and enhancing living standards under Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, Savings & Investments, National Insurance, Pensions, Trust Tax, Property Tax, Corporation and Business Tax.  However, this brief article will only focus on Stamp Duty and Land Tax.

 

The Chancellor announced today that the government will extend first-time buyers relief to all first-time buyers of shared ownership properties in England and Northern Ireland.

 

The relief will not apply to purchases of properties valued over £500,000.

 

This amendment will apply to relevant transactions with an effective date of on or after 29^th October 2018.  The measure will also apply retrospectively to transactions with effective dates on or after 22^nd November 2017, which was the date first-time buyer’s relief was originally introduced.

 

The relief must be claimed in an SDLT Return or by amending an SDLT return which has already been filed.

 

For those who completed their transaction before 29^th October 2018, the opportunity to amend their SDLT Return will be extended by a further 12 months until 28^th October 2019.

 

A technical correction was included to extend the time frame in which the 3% SDLT on additional dwellings can be reclaimed.  This applies to situations where an individual sells his or her home within three years of making a replacement purchase.  The amendment, which comes into effect from 29^th October 2018, extends the reclaim period from three to twelve months following the sale of the old home.

Revenue eBrief 66/18, published on 23rd April 2018, contained guidance on the VAT treatment of staff secondments to companies established in Ireland from related foreign companies.  These guidance notes confirm that staff secondments are subject to VAT at the standard rate, being 23%. This applies even where both companies are connected and members of an international group.  Revenue, however, have provided a concession whereby VAT will not be charged on payments in relation to the seconded staff provided that correct Irish PAYE and PRSI (payroll taxes) have been operated on these payments.

 

 

This concessionary treatment will only apply in situations where the staff members are seconded from a company established outside Ireland but which is part of the same corporate group as the recipient company and where the staff are seconded to an Irish established company or an Irish branch of a foreign company. In addition, the Irish company to which the employee is seconded must exercise control over the performance of his/her duties or the secondee must effectively have managerial responsibility for the operation of the Irish company or Irish branch. Finally, the PAYE and PRSI liabilities relating to the payments to the seconded employee must be paid over to the Irish Revenue in a timely manner.

Yesterday, Revenue eBrief No. 59/18 was published.  This comprehensive nine page document outlines the Income Tax. Capital Gains Tax and VAT treatment for income arising from the provision of short-term accommodation.

 

 

A short term letting is defined as a letting of all or part of a house, apartment or other similar establishment:

– to a tourist, holidaymaker or other visitor
– for a period which does not exceed or is unlikely to exceed 8 consecutive weeks

 

 

There are a number of different circumstances which will be covered by this new guidance material including

(i) persons staying in hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, hostels, etc.,
(ii) persons either sharing a property with the owner or occupying the whole property for a short period of stay or
(iii) persons occupying self-catering holiday accommodation for short periods

 

If your rental income meets the criteria outlined in this document, you could be looking at an obligation to register for VAT depending on your turnover as well compliance obligations under Cases I or IV Schedule D.  In addition to the annual tax on the rental profits and the potential VAT exposure, you could encounter a Capital Gains Tax liability on the sale of the property generating this rental income which might otherwise have been tax exempt.

 

This document has clarified situations where Rent-a-Room Relief will not be available.  Specifically if you are someone who rents out one or more rooms in your home through online accommodation booking sites you will not be entitled to the Rent-a-Room Relief.  Instead you may be treated as if you are carrying on a trade with an obligation to register and account for Income Tax and/or VAT.

 

If you provide short term rentals to tourists, guests or visitors where the room or property is available for rent on a regular or frequent basis with a view to making a profit and involves you, the owner, carrying out some or all of  the following activities then you may be deemed to be carrying on a trade and if so, this document is relevant to you:

1. Advertising the property online on accommodation booking websites
2. Dealing with booking enquiries, reservations and payments
3. Arranging for cleaning, laundry and maintenance during and between lets
4. Providing meals
5. Providing information to visitors about local tourist attractions, restaurants etc.
6. paying staff to provide such services, etc.

 

According to this document:

“The provision of traditional short-term guest accommodation in hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and hostels will generally constitute a trade. Persons who provide short-term guest accommodation, either in their home or in another property owned by them, will only be trading to the extent the activity is sufficiently frequent and regular and is carried on a commercial basis and with a view to the realisation of profit.”

A stamp duty refund scheme in respect of land purchased to develop residential property was signed into the 2017 Finance Act on 25^th December 2017.

 

The Act provides that where stamp duty, at the new higher rate of 6%. is paid on the acquisition of land which is subsequently used to build residential property, the purchaser will be entitled to a rebate of 4% being 2/3rds of the duty paid.

 

It is important to keep in mind that the refund of stamp duty is only applicable in relation to the proportion of the land used for residential development.

 

 

The Main Points of the Scheme are:

 

• The scheme only applies where the residential development begins within thirty months of the date the land was acquired but before 1^st January 2022.

 

• It only applies to the construction of dwelling units.

 

• It does not apply to the refurbishment or completion of existing or partially constructed units.

 

• The time taken to conclude any planning appeal may be added to this 30 month period.

 

• The development must commence on foot of a Commencement Notice served in compliance with the Building Control Regulations and must be completed within two years of the relevant Local Authority’s acknowledgement of the Commencement Notice.

 

• There is a four year time limit on claiming a repayment.  Please be aware that the repayment does not carry interest and must be claimed using Revenue’s e-Stamping system.

 

• The 4% duty refund can be claimed following the commencement of the works

 

• Where the residential development is being carried out in phases, repayments can be sought on a phased basis i.e. the refund can be reclaimed on the commencement of each phase but only in proportion to the area of the land in each phase.

 

•  75% of the land, for which the refund claim is made, must comprise of dwelling units.

 

• If the legislative conditions are not met or if the works have not been completed within the 2 year deadline then Clawback Provisions will apply to this refund.

 

 

Despite the fact that this scheme has been signed into legislation there are still areas of uncertainty.  It is expected that Revenue will issue guidance material to clarify matters in due course.
