4 Transfer Pricing and Value Creation Transfer Pricing goes hand in hand with economic substance BEPS The Action Plan aims to ensure that profits are taxed where economic activities generating the profits are performed and where value is created. Arm s length principle [Where] conditions are made or imposed between the two [associated] enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which differ from those which would be made between independent enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those conditions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly. Crucial for all Transfer Pricing Analyses: Understanding of the underlying business model, in other words: Understanding of the relevant Value Chain and the Value Drivers The profits (or losses) resulting from a business model should be allocated amongst the companies participating in the respective business model based on their functions performed, risks incurred and assets employed 4

5 Fundamental Concept: Arm's Length Principle The "arm's-length principle" of transfer pricing states that the amount charged by one related party to another for a given product/service must be the same as if the parties were not related. An arm's-length price for a transaction is therefore what the price of that transaction would be on the open market. The arm's length principle has to be considered on two different levels: In a first step, the charging itself has to be justified In a second step, the amount (i.e. the price) has to be appropriate Furthermore, the arm s length principle has to be considered: ex-post, i.e. within the scope of the transfer pricing documentation and generally even more important ex-ante, i.e. in the course of the determination of the transfer prices 5

7 Fundamental International Transfer Pricing Regulations OECD Art. 9 OECD Model Tax Convention Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations (1995) Revision of Chapters I-III of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines (22 July 2010) Report on the Attribution of Profits to Permanent Establishments (22 July 2010) Report on the Transfer Pricing Aspects of Business Restructuring Chapter IX of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines (22 July 2010) BEPS Action Plan: Action 8 10 Aligning Transfer Pricing Outcomes with Value Creation Action 13 Transfer Pricing Documentation and Country- by- Country Reporting 7

11 BEPS Example Intangibles Intangibles Legal Ownership of Intangible is no longer decisive The contractual agreement might form the starting point of the transfer pricing analysis, will however not be the decisive factor. If no key functions are performed by the legal owner, also no share of the profits emerging from the use of the intangibles should be attributed to him. Value Creation Approach An artificial shifting of value creation processes (e.g. within the scope of contract research and development) will no longer be possible. Generally, this means that intangibles and related compensation schemes between affiliated entities will come under greater scrutiny. It is probable that contractual arrangements that do not reflect the economic substance will no longer be accepted by the Fiscal Authorities. 11

12 BEPS Implementation in Italy In Italy, the OECD-Guidelines are regarded as Soft Law, i.e. the BEPS-Guidelines are already now being applied in tax audits (and tax litigation procedures). Italy is heavily involved in the development of the single action points. Implementation Action 13 Implementation Action 8-10 TP-Documentation regulations follow a similar (please note: not identical) structure as the OECD-Masterfile- Concept does, local regulations are still in force Until now only CbC Reporting implemented: Relevant for entities that show a consolidated turnover of at least 750 million Euro Adoption is presumably related to 2016, which results in an implementation in 2017 at latest Not adhering to this regulations leads to penalties between 10,000 and 50,000 Euro. De-facto implementation through case law and administrative principles ( Circolari ), that have to be considered within the scope of transfer price determination and tax audits Example: calculation methods in the context of the Patent Box Regulation 12
