Transfer Pricing Rules app for iPhone and iPad

Governments throughout the World have adopted transfer pricing rules as a means of determining fair corporation taxes for multi-nationals. These rules seek to precisely quantify the relative input/output for each service/product based on its declared home. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Transfer Pricing Guidelines are intended to help tax administrations (of both OECD member countries and non-member countries) and MNEs by indicating ways to find mutually satisfactory solutions to transfer pricing cases, thereby minimizing conflict among tax administrations and between tax administrations and MNEs and avoiding costly litigation. The Guidelines analyse the methods for evaluating whether the conditions of commercial and financial relations within an MNE satisfy the arms length principle and discuss the practical application of those methods. They also include a discussion of global formulary apportionment. http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/taxation/oecd-transfer-pricing-guidelines-for-multinational-enterprises-and-tax-administrations_20769717 Some jurisdictions offer tax incentives when IP assets are owned and managed within that jurisdiction, therefore due to the fact that Intellectual Property (IP) typically represents between 38% – 80% of ‘value-add’ of multi-national enterprises, it is attractive for them to effectively reduce tax rates globally by locating IP in a low tax or tax advantaged havens.
