With the exception of any taxes withheld under the European Union Savings Directive 
equivalent agreement between the European Union and Liechtenstein, no tax deduction, relief or al- 
lowance is possible for the past or the future under the CRO.?'^ The CRO has to be selected for the

The relevant period from 1999 to the year of application was a strong benefit in the first years of the 
LDF due to the huge difference from the normal 20 year lookback period. Nowadays, this benefit is

2009/2010 may be rightly seen as a disadvantage for the LDF. Hosp identified the CRO as one of the 
most important elements of the LDF, due to its simplicity and because all taxes, as well as national

capital gains, are covered.??

HMRC, which declares that their tax affairs are under investigation under the regulation of the Code
