请看相关报道:
U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE) and Irish rival Allergan (AGN) Monday announced a record-breaking $160-billion merger, the largest in health-care industry history and the largest tax inversion deal in US history.
11月23日,美国制药巨头辉瑞公司和与爱尔兰肉毒杆菌制造商艾尔建宣布以创记录的1600亿美元合并,这是医药史上最大的并购案,也是美国历史上规模最大的一宗税收倒置交易。
“税收倒置”(tax inversion)是指企业通过改变注册地的方式,由高税率国家迁往低税率国家(lower-tax nation),将原本应适用的比较高的税率变为适用比较低的税率,以达到避税(tax avoidance/tax dodge/tax evasion)的目的。税收倒置也可通过海外并购(overseas acquisition)后的业务转移来完成,即“倒置收购”(reverse takeover)。
辉瑞公司和艾尔建公司的董事会签署了合作协议,并称这笔交易在很多层面上都将是史无前例的。合并之后,辉瑞公司把其位于纽约的总部搬迁到爱尔兰。此前,艾尔建总部就位于爱尔兰都柏林,那里的企业税率(corporate tax rate)比美国本土要低很多。
这桩合并本质上是一桩反向收购(reverse merger),也就是实际上是体量较小的艾尔建并购了辉瑞。据悉,美国财政部正考虑进一步修改规则,令美国企业更难以通过将总部移到海外而避税。
