In this edition of the Maples Group Tax Update, we examine a number of current Irish, Luxembourg and international tax issues:

- We examine the introduction of anti-hybrid legislation, an interest limitation cap, controlled foreign company ("CFC") rules and an exit tax under ATAD

- We give our view on the recent important European Court of Justice caselaw on beneficial ownership in the context of European investment structures
