The last several years have been very eventful for the global transfer pricing world and we have witnessed the development of the transfer pricing landscape in Singapore and the region. On 12 January 2017, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) issued the fourth edition of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines (TP Guidelines). The updated TP Guidelines contains several key changes and largely reflects IRAS’ commitment in implementing the four minimum standards of the 15 action plan under OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project.
In June, the IRAS signed the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on the exchange of Country-by-Country Reports. In the same month, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has also released a draft Income Tax bill which proposes to legislate mandatory transfer pricing documentation requirement.
The practical implication of all these new changes is being felt by businesses through the increasing level of scrutiny and emphasis on compliance by the IRAS. This has made it critical for businesses to be aware of developments which impact their dealings with related parties.
Considering that the level of transfer pricing queries are only expected to rise going forward, it would also be useful to be informed about the various business models and typical transfer pricing issues surrounding them.
We would like to invite you to a breakfast session where transfer pricing experts from BDO Singapore would share with you how transfer pricing impacts your business and how can you stay prepared.
