  1. INTRODUCTION

A majority of the world’s cross-border movement of goods and services now occurs through affiliated or related entities.  This has brought with it a multitude of tax and transfer pricing concerns. 

Increasing, there has been a renewed focus by governments and world organizations such as the Organisation of Economic and Cooperative Development (“OECD”) on transfer pricing and cross-border tax strategies which have eroded profits for many jurisdictions.  This project, known as Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”), led to the finalization of 15 Action Plans that outlined global solutions to tax planning and transfer pricing strategies through the multilateral engagement with local governments.

At the country level, pressure to increase individual country’s tax revenues is on the rise, which has led to increased local tax authority scrutiny on transfer pricing practices adopted by multinational enterprises globally. Although transfer pricing rules and legislation have been in place for several years in most economies, tax authorities are now applying them with greater confidence and sophistication.

As companies are looking to emerging markets in ASEAN for expansion, it is critical to design the appropriate transfer pricing policies.  This workshop will give you a practical understanding of the recent global and regional transfer pricing developments and how to develop and substantiate a transfer pricing policy to address regional transfer pricing risks. 

Areas covered include:

Part 1:  Pricing related party transactions

In this section, we will discuss the various related party transactions typically entered into by multinational corporations, and how these related party transactions should be priced.

Part 2:  Regional updates on transfer pricing

In this section, we will first discuss the key global updates from a transfer pricing perspective.  This is important as most regional tax authorities are in the process of implementing these global initiatives.  We will discuss the nuances of the transfer pricing regime in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Philippines.
