9. O Action Plan
Ensuring transparency while promoting increased
certainty and predictability
Preventing BEPS implies transparency at different levels.
Progress on transparency has been made by the Global
Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for
Tax Purposes, but the need for a more holistic approach
has been revealed when it comes to preventing BEPS, which
implies more transparency on different fronts.
Data collection on BEPS should be improved. Taxpayers
should disclose more targeted information about their tax
planning strategies, and transfer pricing documentation
requirements should be less burdensome and more targeted.
10. Action 11
Establish methodologies to collect and
analyse data on BEPS and the actions to
address it
Develop recommendations regarding indicators of the
scale and economic impact of BEPS and ensure that
tools are available to monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness and economic impact of the actions
taken to address BEPS on an ongoing basis.
11. Action 12
Require taxpayers to disclose their aggressive
tax planning arrangements
Develop recommendations regarding the design of
mandatory disclosure rules for aggressive or
abusive transactions, arrangements, or structures,
taking into consideration the administrative costs
for tax administrations and businesses and
drawing on experiences of the increasing number of
countries that have such rules.
12. Action 13
Re-examine transfer pricing documentation
Develop rules regarding transfer pricing
documentation to enhance transparency for tax
administration, taking into consideration the
compliance costs for business. The rules to be
developed will include a requirement that MNE’s
provide all relevant governments with needed
information on their global allocation of the
income, economic activity and taxes paid among
countries according to a common template.
13. Action 14
Make dispute resolution mechanisms more
effective
Develop solutions to address obstacles that prevent
countries from solving treaty-related disputes under
MAP, including the absence of arbitration provisions
in most treaties and the fact that access to MAP and
arbitration may be denied in certain cases.
14. Transparência
• Transparência como simples antítese do
sigilo
• Disclosure das transações do contribuinte
ENTRETANTO . .
.• A expressão possui um significado mais amplo
• A transparência estende-se ao próprio Estado e
compreende todo o sistema tributário
16. Adam Smith
• O tributo deve ser cristalino
(valor claro e evidente ao contribuinte)
• O tributo deve ser arrecadado no
modo mais conveniente
(menor custo possível para o contribuinte)
“A arte de tributar consiste em depenar o ganso de
modo a obter o maior número de penas com o
menor número possível de gritos” (Colbert)
17. Joseph Stiglitz
Um bom sistema tributário deve
apresentar…
• Simplicidade administrativa
(adm. fácil e pouco custosa)
• Responsabilidade política
(o sistema deve ser transparente)
• Equidade
(equitativo face às diferenças)
18. Banco Mundial
Good governance is an essential complement
to sound economic policies. Efficient and
accountable management by the public
sector and a predictable and transparent
policy framework are critical to the efficiency
of markets and governments, and hence to
economic development.
(Governance and development, 1992)
19. Nações Unidas
Transparency is built on the free
flow of information. Processes,
institutions and information are
directly accessible to those
concerned with them, and
enough information is provided to
understand and monitor them.
(Governance for sustainable human
development, 1997)
20. OCDE
Taxpayers will want the openness and
transparency expected of them under the
enhanced relationship to be reciprocated by
revenue bodies.
(Working Paper 06 – Enhanced Relationship, 2007)
21. OCDE
Awareness and transparency are basic
requirements for building public
engagement and trust; without some degree
of both, taxation is likely to be characterised by
conflict rather than co-operation. Citizens must
be aware of the taxes they are paying and be
educated about the system of taxation and
budgeting, while government must be
transparent about tax collection and public
spending.
(Citizen-State relations, 2010)

Os Estados também são responsáveis...
- “Tax havens” somente existem porque há “tax hells”
- Concorrência fiscal internacional agressiva
- Opacidade e complexidade
