It’s been a while since the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) drafted its Pillar I report dealing with various issues around the growing economic globalisation and digitalisation. It’s also increasingly difficult to determine countries’ rights to charge corporate income tax on the profits of multinational enterprise groups.

Recent years have seen the State Revenue Service (SRS) increasingly focus on transfer pricing (TP) risks, particularly management services and business support services rendered within a multinational enterprise (MNE) group. These services between related companies aim to promote a group member’s business, to cut costs it would have incurred in performing the particular functions on its own, or to offer some other comparable benefit from the synergy of doing business together. Yet there is also the other side of the coin – TP and corporate income tax (CIT) risks may arise if the recipient of services is unable to prove they were actually received and the fee was justified.

Taxpayers have good reason to debate whether they should revise the interest rates historically applied in their long-term financing transactions between related parties and apply new rates that are arm’s length and reflect the current economic conditions. This article explores the vision of the State Revenue Service (SRS) and recommendations for mitigating potential transfer pricing (TP) risks.
