Thursday, February 25 | BorderCrossings . . . A special event co-sponsored by EY and Consejo Nacional de la Industria Maquiladora y Manufacturera de Exportación (INDEX) (1 pm ET)

The integration of the US and Mexican economies under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has made transfer pricing controversy and dispute resolution a significant issue. Multinationals operating in Mexico, even those under the maquiladora regime, face transfer pricing uncertainty. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the uncertainty and significance of transfer pricing issues have only increased.

Please join panelists from EY, INDEX and the IRS as they discuss a recent agreement between the US and Mexico on arm’s-length remuneration under a Qualified Maquiladora Approach. Other topics to be covered include:

    • Maquiladora regime
    • COVID impact on maquiladoras and intercompany transactions
    • US–Mexico competent authority
      • Advance Pricing Agreements
      • Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAPs)
      • Timing
      • Access to MAP

We hope you join us and our distinguished guests for this important webcast.
