On 6 August 2018, the Finnish MoF published a draft consultation on a draft law that proposed changes to the Finnish CFC rules. The draft law aims to implement the CFC provisions contained in the EU ATAD. The bill would introduce changes to the CFC definition and applicable exemptions, including reducing the control threshold for a company that qualifies as a CFC from the current 50% (direct or indirect ownership) to 25% of ownership of share capital or voting rights or profit entitlements as defined by ATAD. According to the draft, the new rules would enter into force on 1 January 2019 and be applied for the first time in relation to the taxation of 2019.
