      Any #taxtwitter know the answer? e. g. UK local filing requirement is only for a 'UK CBCR' (UK entity & looking down its subsidiaries). Is there a mechanism to enforce local reporting looking upwards to group?https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1027836413889458176 …

      OK so... Geeky question for #taxtwitter. How does Vietnam's 'comply or explain' local filing requirement for CBCR work in practice? Can't the local subsidiary just say "we don't have access to that information"?

      I'm not sure about the specific Vietnamese context, but the core problem of extraterritorial enforcement (when the local sub can't coerce the HQ) was a key struggle in BEPS exactly because there's no established enforcement mechanism (https://phdskat.org/2016/08/03/beps-moving-away-from-separate-entity/ …)

      Right... So that's why I'm wondering what the 'yay Vietnam has done *this*' story really means if *this*' isn't really possible?!

      I'm not sure - I don't know the specific local context. There could be something to it, I just know it was a problem they identified but couldn't really solve in BEPS

      On first principles can't see how country A can oblige a firm resident outside that country, and not carrying on business directly, to comply with local laws. Analogous to recovery of tax debt in foreign country? I think @AislingTax has the reference, was it an Indian case?

      Govt of India is UK case. Buchanan v McVeigh is Irish one. Very tricky if parent says no.

      I'd venture a guess and say any practical solution, to be successful, would have to rely on innovative 'diplomacy' or geopolitical might (see e.g. TheTaxThatShallNotBeNamed) rather than strictly legal procedure

      Yup. How do countries have legal jurisdiction to require local filing of Master File, but not of CbCR ? (since they are both data held by ultimate parent)? @AlexParkerDC @martinhearson

          Perhaps because I am a lawyer, I don't understand the issue other than Aisling's last tweet. Vietnam says 'we don't care about the corporate veil, just give us the info or face X consequence', company makes its choice.

          It says 'give us the info or send us a letter explaining why not'. I am wondering what % comply by sending a letter explaining that they don't have the information (i.e. is this in effect a symbolic bit of the legislation, or does it really result in more info gained?)

          They don't. So if they're powerful/ an important market for the group there likely will be compliance. If they're small and unimportant then I would guess less compliance.
