Abstract
Chapter 90, “Transfer Pricing Rules and Practice in Japan,” presents the substantive Japanese transfer pricing rules and describes in detail the conduct of a transfer pricing examination. The chapter also analyzes appeals procedures, the availability and process for competent authority relief, and the operation of the Pre–Confirmation System in transfer pricing cases.
Chapter 95, “Transfer Pricing Rules and Practice in Korea,” describes the sources and scope of Korean transfer pricing rules, the approved transfer pricing methodologies and priorities, and the documentation required to support transfer prices under those rules. The chapter also analyzes the procedures and strategies available in dealing with the Korean tax authorities on transfer pricing issues and discusses the availability of and experience with joint U.S.-Korean action in connection with the mutual assistance provision of the U.S.-Korea Income Tax Treaty and in connection with bilateral advance pricing agreements.
Chapter 100, “Transfer Pricing Rules and Practice in Luxembourg,” provides an overview of the current transfer pricing environment in Luxembourg. With the absence of strict transfer pricing rules and a fiscally friendly climate, Luxembourg can be considered an attractive country for international business. The main transfer pricing references in the Luxembourg Income Tax Law date back to 1967, and some general tax provisions even date back to the 1940s. The provisions referring to the arm's-length principle, however, are very broad, and no recent transfer pricing rules or documentation requirements have been implemented in Luxembourg.
