  • United States: The House Ways and Means Committee has approved the tax title for the "One Big Beautiful" bill, which aims to make permanent key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, introduce new tax benefits, and offset costs through revenue-raising measures like adjustments to the SALT deduction cap and energy tax credits. As the bill progresses through Congress, further changes are possible, and ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will provide ongoing updates on thisÌýdedicated webpage.
  • EU: The Economic and Financial Affairs Council has agreed on a draft directive to incentivize the use of the VAT import one-stop-shop (IOSS) by making sellers of low-value imported goods liable for import VAT if not registered under IOSS, requiring non-EU traders to appoint tax representatives, and repealing the special arrangement that shifts VAT obligations to customers. The directive aims to streamline VAT compliance for distance sales of imported goods within the EU and is expected to be formally adopted by July 1, 2028, with potential impacts on direct sellers and marketplaces.

  • Argentina: The Senate approved the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) to implement tax treaty-related measures to prevent BEPS, which will take effect after executive promulgation and OECD deposit. The MLI's implementation will impact multinational enterprises by introducing key aspects such as the principal purpose test (PPT) and changes to the concept of permanent establishment (PE), aiming to enhance the integrity of the international tax system and reduce tax avoidance.

The House Ways and Means Committee approved theÌýtax titleÌýfor the “One Big Beautifulâ€� bill. Further changes to the tax title could occur as the bill is considered by the House Budget or Rules Committee, or even on the floor of the House during debate. In addition, the Senate could ultimately adopt tax provisions with significant differences as it considers its own version of the bill. ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø will continue to provide updates as the bill works its way through the process in Congress.
