Financial innovation allows companies and other entities that wish to raise capital to choose from a myriad of possible instruments that can be tailored to meet the specific business needs of the issuer and investor. However, such instruments put increasing pressure on a question that is fundamental to the tax and financial systems of a country - the distinction between debt and equity. This book analyzes the treatment of HFIs - which lie somewhere along the debt-equity continuum, but where exactly depends on the terms of the instrument as well as on applicable laws - under both domestic law and tax treaties. Key jurisdictions, including the EU, some of its Member States, and the United States, are covered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in this Book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdvocating for a broader scope of application of HFIs as part of the financing of companies in Europe alongside traditional sources of debt and equity financing, the book addresses such issues and topics as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eproblems associated with debt-equity distinction in international tax law;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecross-border tax arbitrage and linking rules;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edrivers behind the use and design of HFIs;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etax law impact of perpetual and super maturity debt instruments, profit participating loans, convertible bonds, mandatory convertible bonds, contingent convertibles, preference shares and warrant loans on HFIs;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efinancial accounting treatment;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eadministrative guidance;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einfluence of Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) on Member States' approaches to classification of HFIs;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einterpretation of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive by the European Court of Justice;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eapplicability of the OECD Model Tax Convention; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eimplications of the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout this book, the analysis draws upon preparatory works, case law, and legal theory in English, German, and the Scandinavian languages.

This book not only discusses whether existing legislation is sufficient to handle the issues raised by international HFIs but also provides an in-depth analysis of the interaction between corporate financing and tax law in the light of today's financial innovation. This book, thus, serves as an indispensable tool for academics and policymakers, corporate executives and their counsel in augmenting their understanding of a complex and constantly changing area of international taxation landscape that is currently coming into view, and thereby enables them to confidently design and use HFIs that comply with national and EU law, tax treaties, and OECD guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jakob Bundgaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 904118273X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789041182739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Jakob Bundgaard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014131134719,"sku":"9789041182739","price":243.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74c28e25-12af-4d40-be63-600f9373a580.jpg?v=1767746922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hybrid-financial-instruments-in-international-jakob-bundgaard-9789041182739","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
