Original (Global)

OECD BEPS Action 6③ requires countries to include anti-abuse provisions in their tax treaties, specifically a Principal Purpose Test② (PPT) or detailed Limitation on Benefits (LOB) clause, to prevent treaty shopping and other forms of tax treaty abuse①.

Echo (Korea)

대한민국은 2021년 MLI 발효를 통해 100개국 이상과의 조세조약에 PPT②(주요목적기준)를 도입하고, 2023년 국제조세조정에 관한 법률에 '조세조약 남용① 방지를 위한 특례' 조항을 신설하여 조약 쇼핑 방지, 수동소득(배당·이자·사용료)에 대한 혜택 제한, 실질귀속자(beneficial owner) 요건을 강화하였다.
