Transfer Pricing Consequences of Sanctions against Russia

Download programme
Several countries within the European Union and outside have imposed a variety of sanctions against Russia. This is becoming a dynamic process, with more and more different types of sanctions being considered and imposed. For MNEs, these sanctions may, depending on the relevance of Russia to their operations, have a significant economic impact as well as consequences for their transfer pricing policies and practices. In this webinar, we will deal with several such practical scenarios with an overview of possible transfer pricing consequences of these sanctions imposed on Russia.

Topics Covered

  1. Non-availability of raw materials or much higher prices for them
  2. Inter-company services/royalty charges to and from Russian affiliates
  3. Financial transactions and guarantee fees
  4. Loss of turnover
  5. Disruptions in the supply chain
  6. Closures of businesses, business restructurings, transfers of functions

This webinar covers the economic consequences for each of these scenarios, the corporate tax impact, transfer pricing consequences for pending rulings and APAs and transfer pricing consequences in general. In addition, the treatment of losses and of shareholder or head office costs will be discussed. Possible future corporate and transfer pricing tax perspectives will be sketched.

Learning Objectives

After the webinar, you will have an overview of possible transfer pricing consequences of the sanctions imposed on Russia. By dealing with the most common scenarios, you will gain insight into what potential consequences there are.

Tax authorities will be informed about the transfer pricing issues that MNEs are facing regarding the sanctions imposed.
