Shiv Mahalingham Published in Bloomberg BNAs Tax Planning International Asia Pacific Focus
Shiv Mahalingham, a managing director in Duff & Phelps European transfer pricing practice, provides insight on Australia adopting simplified transfer pricing documentation. In addition to simplified reporting requirements, the guidance introduces a number of safe-harbors for intra-group transactions.
The Australian Taxation Office ("ATO") have acknowledged in recent guidance (Practical Compliance Guidance PCG 2017/2) that existing transfer pricing requirements "may impose an administrative burden disproportionate to your risk of not complying with the transfer pricing rules." The revised guidance provides a reduced documentation requirement for certain situations that include:
- Small taxpayers
-
Distributors
-
Intra-group services
-
Low level inbound loans
-
Materiality
-
Management and administration services
-
Technical services
- Low level outbound loans
