3 Advance Pricing Arrangement (APA) An APA is an arrangement between a taxpayer and a tax administration that confirms the appropriate transfer pricing methodology to establish an arm s length price for transactions between related parties. An executed APA satisfies Canadian transfer pricing documentation requirements. Taxpayers will avoid the expense of undertaking regular documentation studies for transactions covered by the APA 3
4 Types of APAs Bilateral/Multilateral CRA s preferred approach Since a bilateral APA involves agreement amongst the affected competent authorities it can be applied to any eligible filed taxation year (rollback) 4
5 Types of APAs Unilateral Most appropriate where: a tax treaty is not in place with the other tax jurisdiction the other tax jurisdiction does not have an APA Program the tax jurisdiction in the other country does not desire to participate in the process, or there is little incentive to pursue a bilateral APA as the focus of the business is in Canada and the amount of tax involved in the other jurisdiction is small 5
6 Types of APAs Small Business For taxpayers with revenues of less than $50M or a proposed covered transaction of less than $10M Objective is to expedite the APA process for lowerrisk transactions and assist taxpayers in their efforts to comply Key elements of a Small Business APA: Tangible goods and routine services no intangibles Forward years only Unilateral no CA negotiations No site visits Only need a functional analysis CRA does economic analysis Fixed non-refundable fee of $5000 6
7 Who is involved? The following people may attend from the government: APA Coordinator, Manager of MAP/APA Unit, Analyst, Economist, Field TSO auditor, Department of Justice Lawyer 7
8 Stages of the APA Process First Step Prefiling Request Letter Submission and User Fee Acceptance Letter Evaluation Negotiation (only for BAPAs) Arrangement Periodic Reporting Renewal 8
9 Suitability of an APA The APA Program may be best suited to taxpayers who: wish prospective tax certainty and the elimination of double taxation rather than a specific outcome wish to participate in a cooperative process face complex or contentious transactions where differing views are likely to arise in respect of the transfer price wish to avoid the possibility of dedicating significant resources to an extensive transfer pricing audit believe the initial effort required during the first APA will create future efficiencies through renewals (provided the facts and circumstances are the same) 9
10 APAs Benefits and Concerns Benefits Forward Looking- Mitigates risk of double taxation Once in effect, meets contemporaneous documentation requirements of s.247 Experienced faces Decreases audit risks and complexity Taxpayers involvement Cooperative process Enhances certainty of tax treatment May be applied retroactively (TPM-11) May be renewed Resources? Concerns Disclosure of confidential information Taxpayer involvement/contribution during CA meetings Time commitment and time involved Flexibility once committed Resources? 10
