Wednesday, May 26 | BorderCrossings . . . With EY transfer pricing and tax professionals (1 pm ET)

A fresh look at the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines

Taxpayers and revenue authorities have been following the revised Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Transfer Pricing Guidelines for more than five years. This month’s BorderCrossings webcast will provide an in-depth look at and critical analysis of the guidance, its relationship to the Section 482 regulations, and the practical effects of its use in different tax jurisdictions. The revised guidance has been subject to varied interpretations among practitioners and revenue authorities, and the webcast will discuss the impact of the guidelines on transfer pricing today.

Topics will include:

  • The development of the revised guidelines: the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative
  • Revisions to Chapter 1: the treatment of risk and the “accurate delineation of the actual transaction”
  • Revisions to Chapter 6: intangible ownership, hard-to-value intangibles, and development, enhancement, maintenance, protection and exploitation (DEMPE)
  • Revisions to Chapter 8: cost contribution arrangements – similarities and differences from US cost-sharing arrangements
  • Revisions to Chapter 10: financial transactions and the treatment of funding
  • From BEPS 1.0 to BEPS 2.0: the ongoing evolution of the arm’s-length principle

We hope you will be able to join us for this important webcast.
