1 Intellectual Property Management Why Luxembourg is a good idea
2 Introduction In today s economy knowledge is king and it is more and more common that it is a group s intellectual property that forms the basis of its wealth Managing this intellectual property has become a vital part of any management team s work, as there are ample opportunities to enhance returns when financial exploitation, legal protection, and tax strategies are combined effectively. One of the most difficult and significant decisions in managing this IP lies in where to develop and hold it, as this can have a far reaching effect on the rate of return. Luxembourg should be at the head of any list when making this decision as it offers the following benefits: Tax incentives for research and development activities; Low effective taxation of the holding vehicle; Access to double tax treaty network providing for substantial withholding tax reductions on cross-border royalty payments; Favourable VAT rates and optimisation of input VAT recovery; Absence of strict domestic transfer pricing rules. Furthermore, Luxembourg has been proactive in developing its IP standards and is party of all the major IP treaties and conventions, making it an ideal place to develop or manage IP. At Deloitte we have a multi-disciplinary team of tax advisors that work closely with the financial advisory, legal, and accounting experts who can help you implement the most efficient structure for the management of your IP.
3 How can Deloitte help you with your IP? An integrated approach Our team of expert professionals has the breadth of knowledge and experience to assist during every stage and with every aspect of the setting up of a Luxembourg IP company. From the design phase of the investment structure to incorporation and day-to-day management, we have the resources and experience to provide tax, accounting, consolidation, consultancy and compliance services which can be delivered in an integrated package to maximise effectiveness. The importance of adopting an integrated approach to address all aspects of IP structuring is exemplified by the interrelation between accounting, tax, and legal, where a proactive analysis of the accounting treatment of the IP is paramount to the avoidance of non-compliance issues related to the tax and legal structuring of the IP. Tax Structuring We would typically carry out a high-level review of the company s existing investment structure and evaluate whether benefits can be derived from using Luxembourg, as well as other suitable jurisdictions, for IP management. In particular our solutions would aim at minimising the tax burden on capital calls, investments, value realisation and cash repatriation. This would include coordination with tax specialists from the Deloitte s worldwide network to assess local country taxation in all jurisdictions involved. As indirect taxes are an important feature of IP transactions, our team of VAT specialists can provide a complete package of assistance, including optimal VAT structuring of transactions, VAT registration and compliance. Tax structuring Day-to-day management Deloitte IP services Transfer pricing policy Accounting / consolidation Valuation / Impairment review
4 Transfer Pricing For an optimal implementation of the IP regime, it will be important to have a comprehensive global transfer pricing policy in place that will be acceptable from a Luxembourg perspective, as well as from the perspective of foreign jurisdictions. An arm s length royalty rate (i.e., an acceptable royalty rate as if it is concluded between third parties) will ensure that the royalty payments are deductible at the level of the foreign licensees. The determination of an arm s length royalty rate is generally based on a transfer pricing study including an economic analysis. Together with the intercompany agreements between the contractual parties, it can serve as a basis for the transfer pricing documentation which is compulsory in many (European) countries. We have the expertise and global network to assist you with the implementation of the different steps of a transfer pricing policy. Valuation Services When acquiring IP, deal makers need to focus on what they are really buying as the initial valuation of the IP will have important accounting and tax implications in the future. We are able to assist you in the identification and valuation of intangible assets as part of the due diligence process before completing a deal, important steps that we recommend undertaking before agreeing on the final purchase price. The valuation services we offer are not merely part of a one-time exercise where intellectual property assets are concerned. The requirement for annual impairment reviews will require the ongoing evaluation of intangible assets. At each reporting date a company is required to assess whether any asset is impaired or whether intangible assets have lost value. At Deloitte we have a dedicated multi-disciplinary team which offers valuation and accounting advice on intangible assets to assist with all aspects of international reporting requirements. Accounting and Consolidation Services The method by which IP is accounted for and consolidated in the accounts is an essential part of how a group derives the benefits of Luxembourg s IP regime. Deloitte has an experienced accounting team which will be able to offer advice on all IP accounting questions that will arise. Examples of the complex issues arising in the accounting treatment of the IP are whether capitalisation is required, the amortisation period, if any, and the classification of the revenue streams associated with the IP. These and other considerations must be addressed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the IP structure is properly managed and that the tax and accounting treatment is optimised, whether for interim or year-end reporting.
5 A new favourable tax regime for Intellectual Property income With the law of December 21, 2007, the Luxembourg government introduced an 80% exemption of income derived from certain intellectual property rights ( IP ), as well as capital gains realised on the sale of such IP. This exemption is applicable from 1 January 2008 to all Luxembourg taxpayers. Through the introduction of this new tax regime, the government intends to encourage research and development (R&D) in Luxembourg and to further develop the country as a centre for IP management. The 80% exemption applies to qualifying IP acquired or created after December 31, IP rights directly acquired from a related party are excluded from the regime. Taxpayers who use a self-developed patent for their own business benefit from a notional deduction amounting to 80% of the net positive income they would have earned from a third party as consideration for the right to use the patent. Eligible IP rights Copyrights on software Patents Trademarks, including: service marks and domain names Designs Models Excluded IP rights Copyrights of literary or artistic works plans secret formulas or processes similar rights Summary of key advantages of the new regime: In practice, Luxembourg tax resident companies can benefit from both the EU directives and from the extensive network of double tax treaties concluded by Luxembourg, which can considerably reduce or eliminate the foreign withholding taxes borne on the royalties received; Any foreign withholding taxes levied on royalties can be credited against the Luxembourg corporate income tax within certain limits, thereby further reducing the effective Luxembourg tax rate; The scope of IP rights that may benefit from the advantageous regime is quite broad; The 80% exemption also covers capital gains; Qualifying IP is 100% exempt from Net Wealth Tax.
