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

Does the ‘realistic alternatives’ principle change nothing or everything in transfer pricing?

This month’s BorderCrossings webcast will discuss the “realistic alternatives” principle in transfer pricing. Our panelists will explore the principle’s evolution from various sources through its codification in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and incorporation into US tax treaties. They will also examine how recent practices reflect conflicting interpretations of this principle and why the role of realistic alternatives in transfer pricing cases is not as straightforward as it might first appear.

The webcast will also include a brief update on any recent (post-July) activities around the Pillar One and Pillar Two initiatives of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

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