Dear colleague,

The international tax landscape is being redefined by BEPS and other OECD-led projects, which are likely to shape the way you think, design and apply your TP policies into the future. It is therefore critical that you keep abreast of these changes and fully understand the practical impact these will have for your present and future tax arrangements.

We have therefore lined-up a number of seasoned heads of tax and transfer pricing, as well as key policy makers and tax authorities, to provide not only critical insights into what the impact of the latest TP developments may be on MNEs, but also share best practice advice on how some of the more challenging TP issues are being addressed within their organizations.

You’ll once again have an opportunity to hear from speakers from some of the world’s largest corporations and exciting brands such as General Electric, HSBC, Intel, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent, BP and Nissan Motors to name just a few. Whether as part of an industry panel session or delivering a solo presentation or case study, we’re sure you’ll find listening to their views an invaluable experience.

Past delegates will notice the agenda has its fair share of new faces so you can benefit from a diverse and exciting range of views from across different industries and jurisdictions, but we made sure to continue to allow maximum exposure to those speakers who have consistently delivered high value contributions to TP Minds.

We have been careful to make sure the summit remains industry-led, which is why most of our speaker faculty is comprised of in-house TP directors. Professional advisors also continue to play a key role in adding to the level of technical sophistication to the agenda.

I would also like to draw your attention to our four pre-conference technical workshops – a popular perennial in the TP Minds series, which consistently attract great reviews from participants. This will be a great way to gain in-depth understanding of the changes afoot with regards to Documentation and Country-by-Country Reporting, Hard to Value Intangibles & Cost Contribution Arrangements, TP Risk Management after BEPS, and Supply Chain.

Last but not least, if you’re a senior in-house tax or transfer pricing professional with a large multinational company you will be able to apply to attend TP Minds Asia entirely free of charge! Simply email me directly on [email protected] to secure your place. What better way to be able to benchmark your organization’s response to the fast-evolving transfer pricing agenda then to attend the leading TP forum in Asia as our VIP guest?

I’m sure you’ll find attending TP Minds Asia 2015 one of the most rewarding and efficient ways to sharpen your TP knowledge and I look forward to personally welcoming you to Hong Kong in November.

Best regards,

Michele Costa, TP Minds Asia

Global Documentation & Country by Country Reporting

Hard to Value Intangibles & Cost Contribution Arrangements

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS 2nd November 2015

Workshop 1 - 09:00 12:30 (Registration & Coffee from 08:30) Workshop 2 - 14:00 - 17:30 (Registration from 13:30)

Overview:The OECD as part of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan has made fundamental changes to the requirements for transfer pricing documentation that will impact most large multinationals beginning in 2016. The changes will have a significant impact on the way that companies prepare their transfer pricing documentation and the increased transparency caused by the changes could require companies to take additional risk mitigation actions. Our leading transfer pricing experts will discuss best practices to comply with the new requirements and the actions companies should consider now to mitigate the risks associated with the increased transparency of their transfer pricing policies and results as result of the changes.

Coverage Includes:n Impact of the new rules on your current documentation practicesn Issues and approaches in completing the country by country templaten Documentation and risk management strategiesn Countries adoption of the new rules

n Methods to reduce the increased administrative burden

Workshop Leaders:

Overview:Intangibles have always been difficult to value and it is even more difficult to value intangibles that are unique and have little correlation to the effort required to develop or enhance them. Furthermore, if multiple group entities contribute to the development of an intangible, it is important to align the contribution with the expected benefit in the future. Setting up a CCA is one vehicle, which can be used to share the burden of developing intangibles and enjoying its fruits. Various rules and guidelines provide insight on this matter, but mostly only at a very high level. The US regulations attempt to be more detailed, and one has to only look through those rules to understand the potential complexity in setting up a CCA. Valuing hard-to-value intangibles and setting up CCA, requires thorough understanding of the specific intangible at issue (effort required to develop, usefulness, commercial potential, life, and uniqueness), the context, plans for future maintenance/ enhancement of the intangible, and potential valuation approaches and their respective applicability).

Coverage Includes:n Evolution of the definition of intangibles and drivers of changes in such definitionn Typical methods of intangible valuation, and challenges in applying these approaches to hard-to-

value intangiblesn Valuation and CCA guidance provided by OECD, UN and a few countries through their respective

TP-related releases

n Two-to-three illustrative examples involving CCAs

Managing the TP Supply Chain of the Future Practical Measures in Assessing Transfer PricingRisk after BEPS

Workshop 3 - 09:00 – 12:30 (Registration & Coffee from 08:30) Workshop 4 - 14:00 - 17:30 (Registration from 13:30)

Overview:

New anti-avoidance rules such as the Diverted Profit Tax (“DPT”) in the UK will prompt businesses to both review their current supply chain arrangements and change the way feasibility for future arrangements is carried out. If substance is no longer enough to demonstrate the allocation of margin and proof of financial over tax benefits is required to determine whether a structure is artificial tax payers will have to invest more time and resources to run their benefit and tax risk feasibility model.

Coverage Includes:

n Brief introduction on the new changes in the legislation

n Weaknesses with current feasibility studies for supply chain

n Substance versus financial over tax benefits

n Case study looking at reassessing an existing supply chain structure in view of the new rules and looking at further optimising the structure by making an attempt to value financial over tax benefits to estimate risk of being caught by the DPT rules.

Workshop Leader:

Fabrizio Lolliri European Director of Transfer Pricing HOGAN LOVELLS

Fabrizio joined Hogan Lovells in 2013, he has extensive industry experience which is coupled with well-grounded “Big 4” training and entrepreneurship. He has a background in science and engineering, which allowed him to make the transition to transfer pricing first as an economist at Deloitte and then KPMG. Fabrizio then became the Group Head of Transfer Pricing for FranceTelecom and Orange.

Fabrizio’s portfolio of clients includes Global 1000 and FTSE 100 multinationals.

Overview:

The OECD’s Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (‘BEPS’) is a reflection of the spotlight placed on multinationals’ value chains by both tax authorities and wider stakeholder groups. Transfer pricing is a focus for both, increasing tax risk but also introducing an additional reputational risk for businesses. The greater transparency requirements arising from the BEPS Action Plan, in particular country-by-country reporting, tie directly into this rather than being simply an additional administrative step. This session will identify where transfer pricing risk has changed, consider effective steps to identify that risk and assess its impact on the business together with sustainable strategies to manage exposure and maintain the group effective tax rate.

Coverage Includes:

n Update on progress of OECD’s work on BEPS and related areas

n Process steps for assessing and addressing transfer pricing risk

n Managing the requirements of country-by-country reporting

n Achieving comfort on low risk transactions

n A proportionate response to high risk areas

n Making documentation work for you in the risk assessment process
