Taxsutra ALP Summit 2018 - The T3 Edge: Transfer Pricing, Technology & Transparency

As we kick start another financial year, the international tax chatter continues to be driven by one word - BEPS! Transfer pricing is no different, with the following themes/buzzwords taking centre stage - Value Creation, DEMPE, CbCR, Digital Economy Taxation, AEOI, Intangibles & PE Profit Attribution. And as MNCs evaluate the post BEPS landscape, a realisation has begun to dawn - that the world of Transfer Pricing is becoming more complex and the stakes even bigger, especially in light of the G20 & OECD’s determination to clamp down on tax avoidance via the TP route.

We are also at the cusp of an interesting moment in global tax history, which is witnessing a rare intersection of tax, technology & transparency! ‘Secrecy’ has yielded, albeit reluctantly, to the global outcry for transparency... So we say good bye to the tax havens and ‘Dutch-Irish Sandwiches’ and say hello to CbCR! And the needle is moving faster than most predicted. Even as CbCR is yet to even settle in, EU is upping the ante with the proposal of a public CbCR! Interesting times, surely...

As technology disruption a day is the new norm for several industries, tax can’t be far behind. The tax world has no option but to embrace revolutionary concepts like

Blockchain, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The Third Edition of the 2 days ALP Summit will see some riveting discussion on the ‘T3 Edge’ that is driving the global tax landscape!

The Taxsutra ALP Summit since the last two years has been a marquee event on Transfer Pricing that has attracted a full house at Mumbai with over 200 corporate CFO’s and Tax heads.

Indian TP landscape offers us ample scope for discussion on Transfer Pricing. As Transfer Pricing occupies centre stage both in India and overseas the ALP Summit will once again endeavour to bring together TP specialists as also Government officials to converse with Corporate Tax Directors and CFO’s on emerging trends.

Specifically, in the Indian context, issues around intangibles, location-savings, benchmarking funding transaction and entity-characterization still occupy center-stage in evolution of TP law. TP dispute resolution Government’s priority area has also seen several positive outcomes during last six months particularly with APAs.

Looking ahead, BEPS outcomes particularly on TP may have an impact on law making in the country as also update from UN and continued work from OECD under BEPS.
