UPCOMING EACC EVENTS
President Trump’s decision to attack Iran has the potential to transform the Middle East – but at least in the short-term has led to sharply higher energy prices. But unlike in 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered an energy crisis, this time Europe is much better prepared. The EU has greatly expanded its use of renewable energy, has diversified its suppliers of oil and natural gas, and has upgraded its domestic energy infrastructure.
Against the backdrop of the OECD’s recent Side‑by‑Side Package and ongoing implementation challenges around Pillar Two, U.S. multinationals with European operations are reassessing their tax positions, compliance obligations, and long‑term structuring choices. At the same time, Europe’s digital taxation debate is far from settled, with several countries maintaining or revisiting digital services taxes (DSTs) and the United States signaling potential responses. Layered on top of this are significant EU‑level legislative shifts - including the status of key directives and the potential repeal of ATAD2 provisions targeting holding companies with insufficient substance - as well as national‑level reforms across major jurisdictions in Europe.
