Transfer Pricing Masterclass: Navigating Global Challenges with Confidence
The global transfer pricing (TP) landscape is undergoing rapid transformation and the Middle East (ME) region follows suit. Many countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have in the last 5 years established a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for pricing of cross-border transactions between related entities. Other countries, such as Bahrain and Oman, which introduced country-by-country (CbC) reporting and Pillar Two minimum taxation rules, may soon be added to the list.
With the UAE introducing the UAE’s 2023 TP guidelines and the broader adoption of the OECD’s BEPS 2.0 framework, including Pillar One’s Amount B and Pillar Two developments, multinational enterprises (MNEs) must adapt their TP strategies to align with international standards and local compliance requirements. This increased focus on transfer pricing, especially amid heightened scrutiny from tax authorities and the growing exchange of information across jurisdictions, is a challenge for all MNEs operating in the ME region.
It is essential for both MNEs and tax authorities to be fully aware of the different approaches taken by international organizations and various tax authorities regarding substance, digitalization of the economy, intangibles, intra-group services, intra-group financing, permanent establishments, TP documentation, and dispute resolution. MNEs and tax authorities must take the necessary steps to address these aspects effectively.
IBFD’s comprehensive 3-day masterclass delivers cutting-edge insights and practical tools to help participants – whether in-house TP professionals, advisors or tax authorities – effectively adapt to these challenges. Expert-led workshops and case studies will explore key areas such as intangibles, intra-group services, financing, extractives, TP risk management and the intersection of TP with customs. Participants will also acquire strategies for managing audits, preventing disputes and ensuring compliance in an increasingly complex tax environment.
