description |
La Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta suele imponer retenciones en el origen. El artículo 11 de los tratados fiscales canadienses permite a Canadá gravar los intereses que surgen en el país y se pagan a los residentes del otro país del tratado a una tasa reducida del 10 % o 15 % de la tasa legal que de otro modo podría aplicarse. Exclusivamente, según el tratado entre Canadá y Estados Unidos, no se aplica ningún impuesto de retención canadiense a los intereses sobre deudas no realizadas en condiciones de plena competencia, por ejemplo, cuando una subsidiaria canadiense paga intereses sobre dinero prestado de su empresa matriz estadounidense. Sin embargo, como los tratados tienen por objeto proporcionar beneficios fiscales solo a los residentes de los países del tratado, los residentes de terceros países, por ejemplo, la matriz de una empresa multinacional en un tercer país, podrían tratar de concertar transacciones de préstamo indirectamente a través de los Estados Unidos o quizás otros países calificar para beneficios del tratado que de otro modo no estarían disponibles con un préstamo directo del prestamista final o de algún otro miembro de la familia corporativa. A esto a menudo se le llama “compra de tratados”, estructurando préstamos para reducir la retención de impuestos a la tasa más baja posible del tratado fiscal. Estos acuerdos generalmente pueden y con frecuencia implican la interposición de un intermediario financiero no residente ubicado en una jurisdicción con un tratado fiscal entre un contribuyente canadiense y un residente de una jurisdicción sin un tratado fiscal para reducir la retención de impuestos que se aplicaría si se otorgara un préstamo y se pagaran los intereses. sobre el préstamo directamente. Como respuesta, las subsecciones 212(3.1) y 212(3.2) de la ITA establecen reglas objetivas específicas para abordar acuerdos de préstamos consecutivos a través de esquemas de compra de tratados, en sintonía con las características comerciales comunes de las transacciones de préstamos comerciales y los intereses de los inversores genuinos. participantes interesados en ellos. |

El artículo 11 de los tratados fiscales canadienses permite a Canadá gravar los intereses que surgen en el país y se pagan a los residentes del otro país del tratado a una tasa reducida del 10 % o 15 % de la tasa legal que de otro modo podría aplicarse. Exclusivamente, según el tratado entre Canadá y Estados Unidos, no se aplica ningún impuesto de retención canadiense a los intereses sobre deudas no realizadas en condiciones de plena competencia, por ejemplo, cuando una subsidiaria canadiense paga intereses sobre dinero prestado de su empresa matriz estadounidense.

Exclusively, under Canada-United States Treaty, no Canadian withholding tax applies to interest on non-arm’s length debt, for example, when a Canadian subsidiary pays interest on money borrowed from its U.S. parent corporation. Nevertheless, as treaties are intended to provide tax benefits only to residents of the treaty countries, residents of third countries, for example, the parent of a multinational enterprise in a third country, might seek to arrange lending transactions indirectly through the United States or perhaps other countries to qualify for treaty benefits that would not otherwise be available on a direct loan from the ultimate lender or some other member of the corporate family. This is often called “treaty shopping,” structuring loans to reduce the withholding tax to the least possible tax treaty rate. These arrangements generally may and frequently involve interposing a non-resident financial intermediary located in a tax treaty jurisdiction between a Canadian taxpayer and a resident of a nonta treaty jurisdiction to reduce the withholding tax that would apply if a loan were made and interest paid on the loan directly. As a response, subsections 212(3.1) and 212(3.2) of the ITA provide specific objective rules to address back-to-back loan arrangements through treaty shopping schemes, attuned to the common commercial characteristics of commercial lending transactions and the interests of genuine self-interested participants in them.application/pdftext/htmltext/xml10.18601/16926722.n24.082346-24341692-6722https://bdigital.uexternado.edu.co/handle/001/15411https://doi.org/10.18601/16926722.n24.08spaCentro de Estudios Fiscaleshttps://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/fiscal/article/download/9167/15817https://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/fiscal/article/download/9167/15818https://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/fiscal/article/download/9167/15819Núm. 24 , Año 2024 : Enero-Junio18324161Revista de Derecho FiscalIncome Tax Act, RSC 1985 (5th Supplement), [ITA 1985], ss 212(3.1) and (3.2).(Meaning of interest) England and Wales Court of Appeal in Pike v.
