  • This Portfolio describes and interprets the Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as last revised in 2010.

Description

Practitioners will most often encounter the Guidelines in tax audits and competent authority proceedings where the Guidelines are used to shed light on the transfer pricing regulations of a particular country or to reconcile seemingly contradictory transfer pricing rules of two countries. The OECD Guidelines were heavily influenced by transfer pricing developments in the United States, and the portfolio draws attention to analogs and potential discrepancies between the Guidelines and the U.S. transfer pricing regulations. The Guidelines are organized into nine chapters with alphabetically lettered subchapters; this portfolio discusses the chapters in order for ease of reference.
