Transfer Pricing Database

In light of the ever changing economic landscape in which multinational enterprises carry out their business, transfer pricing is an area of taxation in which developments are taking place at considerable pace. Accordingly, IBFD felt compelled to re-adjust the outline of the product.

 

 

Permanent Establishments Database

A new outline for the publication has been released which focuses on:

  • the allocation of profits to permanent establishments
  • agency permanent establishments
  • the tax consequences of supply chain restructuring

In addition, a number of case studies have been included in order to render this publication of interest to not only scholars, but also for tax practitioners seeking answers to issues they face in their daily activities.
