Mandatory Disclosure Rules (MDR) services

Under the EU MDR directive, intermediaries who create or facilitate tax-aggressive arrangements that cross EU borders must disclose them to the tax authorities. Other jurisdictions are expected to adopt similar measures.

TMF Group’s worldwide network of in-country experts can easily keep you on the right side of these emerging obligations, with timely and efficient MDR monitoring, coordination, data gathering and reporting across your entire international operation.

What is MDR?

For many EU countries, MDR (mandatory disclosure rules) came into force during 2020. The rules apply to any company doing business in the EU (regardless of where it is headquartered) and any tax-aggressive arrangement or transaction that crosses EU borders.

Primary MDR reporting responsibilities should lie with the intermediary that creates or facilitates the tax-aggressive cross-border arrangement in question but the compliance obligation can be shifted onto their client (the taxpayer).

In turn, jurisdictions outside the EU will surely adopt their own MDR-style procedures. EU member states also retain the right to localise their implementations. This may result in a maze of complexity and substantial MDR compliance costs relating to:
