Programme Synopsis

Transfer pricing is increasingly an area of focus and seen as an alternate source of tax revenue by tax authorities across the region. Whilst many MNEs have started managing their transfer pricing risks associated with business operations (e.g. intercompany sales and purchases, intercompany services, royalty transactions), intercompany financing arrangements remain an area of tax and transfer pricing risks that is largely left uncovered. 

As part of the BEPS Action Plans, the OECD has introduced a wave of changes to the tax and transfer pricing landscape relevant to intercompany financing arrangements, such as Action 4 and Action 8-10. In particular, the discussion draft on the transfer pricing aspects of financial transactions issued in 2018 is expected to be finalised by early 2020. At the same time, as we have witnessed the increasing maturity of the transfer pricing expertise of the tax authorities in the region, it is likely that intercompany financing arrangements will be scrutinised with higher frequency and to much greater level of details in the near future.

This course is designed to equip the participants with an appreciation of the concepts and principles revolving around intercompany financing transactions as well as the tax and transfer pricing implications. 

  • What are the common types of intercompany financing transactions?  
  • Does my organisation have intercompany financing transactions? And if so, what are the tax and transfer pricing implications around these transactions?  
  • How do we go about pricing intercompany financing transactions on an arm's length basis? What are the factors to be considered? 
  • What are the compliance requirements around intercompany financing transactions?

  • Common types of intercompany financing transactions
