US-Japan Transfer Pricing considerations

This month’s BorderCrossings webcast looks at the US-Japan transfer pricing relationship. We’re delighted to have two very special guests join us. We’ll hear from an IRS official who has spent decades reviewing, analyzing and negotiating double-tax cases and Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) with Japan. We will also hear from a Vice President of Corporate Tax with significant experience exploring the nuances of US-Japan transfer pricing issues. To provide some context, we will begin by discussing (1) typical US-Japan related-party transactions, (2) statistics from the IRS and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and (3) Japan’s National Tax Agency’s (NTA) structure.

Specifically, we’ll discuss:

  • Typical cross-border and transfer pricing transaction considerations
  • The importance of US-Japan APAs in the Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program
  • The structure of the NTA and implications for APAs
  • Potential benefits of an APA
  • Recent developments/issues
  • How taxpayers, the IRS and the NTA might view the OECD’s International Compliance Assurance Programme (ICAP)

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