Historically, UK law’s treatment of this right did not fully mirror the nation’s international commitments. After the consultation and engagement with industry stakeholders, the government has chosen Option 0A. Under this approach, targeted adjustments will be made to the criteria for foreign performers’ PPR eligibility, extending PPR to foreign performers where the producer of the recording of their performance is a UK national or...

This Practice Note explores the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards under Austrian law Note The decisions of the Austrian Supreme Court (Oberster Gerichtshof) (OGH) mentioned below are not reported by LexisNexis®. Austria’s regime for recognising and enforcing foreign arbitral awards consists of national statutes, international treaties, and bilateral and multilateral accords. Two domestic statutes are central: the Austrian Enforcement Act (AEA) and the Austrian Code of Civil Procedure (ACCP), which sets out Austrian arbitration provisions. Section 614 ACCP governs the recognition and declaration of enforceability of foreign arbitral awards, meaning awards issued by tribunals seated outside Austria: recognition and the declaration of enforceability of foreign arbitral awards proceed under the Enforcement Act (Exekutionsordnung), unless international law or EU legal instruments provide otherwise. The formal requirements for the arbitration agreement are also satisfied if the agreement complies both with section 583 and with the formal requirements under the law governing the arbitration agreement the production...

In October 2021, countries participating in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) (the OECD Inclusive Framework) endorsed a ‘two-pillar’ package addressing the tax issues stemming from the digitalisation of the global economy. The two pillars constitute an ambitious effort to reform and modernise international tax rules that allocate where, and how, profits are taxed. Pillar One is chiefly (though not exclusively) aimed at the digital economy: ‘a world where enterprises can effectively be heavily involved in the economic life of different jurisdictions without any significant physical presence and where new and often intangible value drivers increasingly come to the fore’. Pillar One introduces two elements: a new taxing right that stretches beyond traditional tax nexus rules anchored in physical location (Amount A) a standardised methodology for transfer pricing baseline marketing and distribution activities between related parties (Amount B). This Practice Note provides a high-level summary of: the tax...
