2023-08-23 07:14:16

How Randstad’s Tax Avoidance Strategy with Swiss Authorities Sparked Controversy and Unveiled Massive Offshore Profits
2023-08-23 05:54:00
Thanks to a very favorable agreement with the Swiss tax authorities, the temporary work giant seems to have paid practically no tax on this windfall which, for years, has been channeled to Switzerland. The claims of the ISI relate to an amount of 72.68 million euros for all the companies involved.
It turns out that for years the Belgian Randstad companies have been paying interest to the Swiss branch of the Randstad group which lends them money. Thanks to a very favorable “ruling” in Switzerland, Randstad only has to pay 1.87% tax on interest flowing to this country. Randstad companies do not pay any tax on this amount in our country, since they are officially taxed in Switzerland.
According to the ISI, the assembly is artificial: the Belgian companies of Randstad would not really need these loans. The structure would have been mainly designed to avoid paying the withholding tax in Belgium.
The Dutch-speaking court of first instance in Brussels has already ruled in favor of the ISI at the beginning of 2023. Randstad will appeal its court decision. Randstad’s Belgian companies have already paid a large part of the disputed 72 million euros in taxes. If the group ultimately wins the case, it will recover these amounts from the State.

The Summit of the BRICS group, made up of Brazil, Russia, India, the People’s Republic of China and South Africa, Vice President Cyril Ramaphosa said that the countries will focus on reducing dependence on the dollar.
Russia Today (RT), noted that United States (US) economists warn that signs of de-dollarization are being seen in the global economy, although they stress that the US currency will still maintain its dominance in the near future.
The motto of the XV Summit is “BRICS and Africa: Partnering for mutually accelerated growth, sustainable development and inclusive multilateralism”.
The New Development Bank (NDB) created by the BRICS group is considering the entry of new members and intends to expand the granting of loans in the national currencies of the bloc’s member countries.
This Tuesday, August 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin considered that the de-dollarization of trade payments between the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is irreversible.
“The impartial and irreversible process of de-dollarization of our economic ties is gaining momentum, efforts are being made to develop effective mechanisms for mutual agreements and monetary and financial control,” Putin said in his video address to the participants of the BRICS business forum. .
As a result, he said, the share of the dollar in export and import transactions within the BRICS member states is declining, “last year it accounted for only 28.7 percent.”
In addition, the leader stressed that the BRICS countries must solve “complex tasks” in a context of “increasing volatility in the stock, currency, energy and food markets”, as well as significant inflationary pressure caused, among other things reasons, due to “irresponsible actions by several countries when carrying out large-scale issuances to smooth the costs of the pandemic, which causes the accumulation of public and private debt.”
