TEI has provided recent comments addressing OECD’s Discussion Draft for BEPS Action 3: CFC rules. A link to their comments are provided for reference:
Key comments:
- Lack of definitive guidance will introduce additional complexity, double taxation and inconsistency of treaty applications.
- Overlap with other BEPS Actions and the role of CFC rules questions new complex rules at this time.
- Confusion re: transfer pricing rules and excess profits approach with arm’s length principle.
The well drafted comments provide clarity surrounding the complexity and uncertainty for new rules addressing BEPS concerns by interested parties. The first question therefore should always be: Do we need these rules at this time?
Notwithstanding the Discussion Draft’s proposals and comments by TEI, among others, MNE’s should plan for increased efficiencies to coordinate and report information, while ensuring global consistency for application of transfer pricing methodologies.
