The first (hopefully not last) draft “anti-fraud plan” of the Belgian Minister of Finance, Johan Van Overtveldt, of 4 December 2015 appears to be an anthology of measures to stop attracting investments into Belgium, or even to encourage disinvestments (whilst currently still being affordable).

On 5 October 2015, the OECD released their 13 final reports and an explanatory note on its Base Erosion & Profit Shifting (BEPS) project. Three days later G20 Finance Ministers endorsed this final BEPS package in Lima, Peru.

We are pleased to announce the launch of TIVALOR, a new professional service offering in the fields of Business & Legal Economics, focusing on Transfer Pricing, Valuations, Business Modeling and Legal Economics. TIVALOR is a joint venture between tax law firm Tiberghien and Andy Neuteleers, a seasoned transfer pricing and valuation professional. The creation of TIVALOR follows closely on the recent developments at G20/OECD and EC-level to alter the rules in international taxation drastically, leading to an ‘economization’ of the fiscal profession.
