Transfer pricing continues to be an area of heightened focus for tax authorities, requiring taxpayers to manage complex audit processes and mitigate double taxation. Because of this, it’s important for multinational companies to understand the specific tools available to assist taxpayers with relief from double taxation or eliminating the risk altogether.
During this webinar, you’ll receive a global view of the transfer pricing controversy landscape from a colleague member in Italy, our team members in Mexico and the United States, and an assistant director of the Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement (APMA) Program at the IRS. They’ll discuss common transfer pricing audit issues and practical approaches to audit defense, including the use of advance pricing agreements (APAs) and mutual agreement procedures (MAPs) as dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms. Our presenting team will also highlight current and upcoming developments impacting the APA and MAP processes and what multinational companies should consider as they evaluate their transfer pricing strategies.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the key elements of transfer pricing controversy, including audit defense, MAPs, and APAs.
- Gain insight into the organization, roles, and responsibilities of the IRS Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement (APMA) Program.
