 Pressrelease

The conditional withholding tax, planned for 2021, does not stop the financial flows from and to other conduit countries. The reason for this is that the conditional withholding tax only applies to countries with a statutory rate of the corporate income tax of 9 percent or less. That does not include Ireland, Luxemburg and Switzerland. →
