Germany has adjusted its law and legislation following the 2017 OECD guidelines, special attention during the webinar will be given to:
- The required 100% synchronization of economic = legal = financial reality (the “magic triangle” approach)
- Where to allocate “location benefits” & “other synergies”
- How to link “price setting” versus the OECD approach to “price/profit checking”
- Does the implementation in law tighten the exit tax on relocation of functions?
- How does Germany perform a hypothetical arm’s length benchmark in the absence of “market comparables”?
- What influence does the German tax authorities have on the taxpayer’s choice of method?
- How does the required price adjustment clause wok in inter-company contracts?
- What portion of profit’s allocated to the legal intangible owner is shared with the other economic owners (co-DEMPE partners)?
- What is the new on the German APA regime – in law and in practice?
After having published transfer pricing regulations in the past, Germany makes a big step forward on the operation of a legal base for enforcing these Transfer Pricing rules. The more “real time” TP documentation will put more pressure on the TP reports provided by multinationals.
See this as a refreshment of existing and quite some new rules and regulations which we expect the German tax authorities to accelerate their audit activities.
