1 29 August 2013 Global Tax Alert News from Transfer Pricing China s SAT issues fourth Advance Pricing Arrangement Annual Report Executive summary On 13 August 2013, China s State Administration of Taxation (SAT) published the China Advance Pricing Arrangement Annual Report (2012) (the 2012 Report). 1 The publication of the 2012 Report is in line with the SAT s commitment to achieve systematic administration of APAs and increase the transparency of the APA process. Further, the 2012 Report illustrates certain new concepts and information which the Chinese tax officials are actively advocating in the APA negotiation process. The 2012 Report, covering statistical data and analysis for the period, follows the previous year s report (the 2011 Report) in terms of content and framework. The 2012 Report describes the mechanism, procedures, implementation procedures and practical development of China s APAs. Standardized forms for APA application and communication purposes are presented in appendices to the 2012 Report. In comparison to the 2011 Report, the 2012 Report specifically describes the staffing and the teaming of SAT s APA program, and reiterates the principles adopted by Chinese tax authorities to determine the acceptance of an APA request. Background of APA in China Transfer pricing administration is one of the most important anti-tax-avoidance tasks throughout China s tax administration system. In the manner of cooperation, APA settles transfer pricing issues and potential transfer pricing disputes, reduces tax authorities managerial cost and efforts, and assists enterprises to mitigate transfer pricing risks. From China s tax administration perspective, the SAT recognizes that cooperative approaches such as APAs create significant efficiency in tax collection, provide effective solutions for international taxation disputes, and avoid double taxation. Furthermore, the SAT recognizes that a bilateral or multi-lateral APA is an effective tool to achieve increased certainty on overall tax revenue allocation in the spirit of international cooperation.
2 Thus, the SAT has shifted its focus from passively reacting towards proactively transforming, and has set course for a standardized working mechanism which integrates administration, service and auditing instead of relying primarily on transfer pricing audits and adjustments. The SAT strives to monitor taxpayers profitability and improve internal working and administration mechanisms through transfer pricing management and APAs. APA statistics Cases signed as of 31 December 2012 The 2012 Report focuses on cases negotiated under Guoshuifa [2004] No. 118 and Chapter 6 of Guoshuifa [2009] No. 2 during the period 2 in which China signed 85 APA agreements (56 unilateral and 29 bilateral). The SAT signed three unilateral APAs and nine bilateral APAs during 2012, which compares to 12 signed APAs in However, currently there are still 15 unilateral and 112 bilateral APA requests (and submission intentions) pending in the process. The number of applications accepted, increased from 89 in 2011 to 121 in 2012, with the same number of unilateral APAs and an incremental 32 bilateral APAs in comparison to Overall, there is an increase of 21 APAs in the Pre-Acceptance phase and of 11 APAs in the Accepted Application phase. This trend reflects that the SAT attached more importance to the pre-evaluation work and the quality of the APA applications. Year 2012 Types Signed Bilateral 9 75% Unilateral 3 25% Total 12 Year 2005 Year 2011 Types Total Signed Concluded but not yet signed Pending cases in the process Total Pre- Acceptance Accepted Applications Bilateral % Unilateral % Total APA statistics Bilateral APAs negotiated by region The report shows that among the 29 bilateral APAs signed during the past eight years, the majority of the APAs, i.e., 20 of them, were signed with Asian countries; five with European countries; and four with a North American country. Of the bilateral APAs signed in 2012, five out of nine were signed with Asian countries; one with a European country and three with a North American country. Time required for concluding cases The SAT s goal is to sign unilateral APAs and bilateral APAs within 12 and 24 months, respectively, after the submission of the formal APA application. 2 Global Tax Alert Transfer pricing
3 In 2012, six bilateral APAs were signed within 12 months; one within 24 months and two within 36 months. As for unilateral APAs, two cases were signed within 12 months; and one case was signed within 24 months. Year 2012 Types From Application to Signing <1 year 1-2 years 2-3 years >3 years Total Unilateral Bilateral Year 2005 Year 2012 Types From Application to Signing <1 year 1-2 years 2-3 years >3 years Total Unilateral Bilateral The average time to complete APAs highly depends on the covered transactions complexity, the quality of the application package submitted along with the taxpayer s cooperation, the in-charge bureau s review resources, and the attitude of competent authorities (in the case of a bilateral APA). Industries covered by signed APAs According to the statistics of signed APAs in different industries published by SAT, from 2005 to 2012, 85% of the APAs signed are related to manufacturing while only 15% cover other industries. In numbers, there are 72 signed APAs related to manufacturing, three related to commercial services, four related to wholesale and retail trade, two related to transportation, warehousing and postal services, one related to scientific and technical services, one related to electricity, thermo, gas and water generation and supply, and two related to information transmission, software and information technology services.

Among the 15 cases signed in 2012, 12 cases relied on the TNMM; of which seven cases used the Full Cost Mark-up ratio as PLI, four cases the Return on Sales ratio and one case the Return on Capital Employed; additionally one case relied on the Cost Plus Method, one case relied on the Profit Split Method; and one case relied on another method not disclosed. 3 Global Tax Alert Transfer pricing 3

The rapid development of the APA program also reflects this trend. Furthermore, the 2012 Report highlights that the SAT is strengthening cooperation with international organizations, such as the United Nations, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), among others. In October 2012, the SAT participated in the preparation of a Chapter in the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries, addressing the principles and methods regarding cost saving, market premium, marketing intangibles to safeguard developing countries taxation benefits, emphasizing the merits of buying power, land and labor costs in the emerging markets, and effectively expressing and advocating China s practical experiences in anti-avoidance administration. Finally, with an aim to maintain China s overall economic benefits in the international taxation, the SAT constantly improves implementation procedures and administrative work, proactively participates in international conversations and communications, and is actively involved in the process of formulating international tax regulations and transforming of global tax system. Resource allocation and team organization From 1 January 2005 through 31 December 2012, the Chinese tax authority has received 141 submitted intentions or formal applications for bilateral APAs in total, and the future workload is anticipated to increase dramatically. In the 2012 Report, the APA program managed to increase the number of persons at the SAT Headquarters to eight. According to staff expertise and the requirements of bilateral negotiations, the staff is organized into three teams responsible for: Asia Pacific Team 1: Japan and Korea Asia Pacific Team 2: the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, HK SAR European Team: the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Luxemburg, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland 4 Global Tax Alert Transfer pricing
5 Prioritization in the APA application process Confronting numerous APA applications and limited human resources, Chinese tax authorities will adopt the following principles in order to determine the acceptance of an APA request: Overall principle: first come, first served. The quality of the request submission, e.g., whether all required documents have been submitted, whether the transfer pricing method applied is appropriate, and whether the calculation is correct. Applicants will be required to make additions or revisions to the submission when necessary. Whether the applying taxpayer is in a particular industry or located in a particular region that merits prioritized attention. For a bilateral APA (BAPA) request, whether the BAPA partner country has the intention to accept the case and pursue such BAPA, will also be an important factor for consideration. Implications The 2012 Report reflects that the SAT constantly improves resources allocation and team organization, and iterates the significant principles to determine the acceptance of an APA request. This reflects SAT s focus on the strengthening of the concrete implementation procedures on anti-avoidance administration and monitoring, and enhancing the requirement of information quality in the APA program. While companies may want to use an APA mainly to get tax certainty, it is recommended that multinational companies seek professional advice to evaluate companies operations and formulate appropriate work plans and application materials to achieve prioritized acceptance in the APA application. According to the 2012 Report, Chinese tax authorities are adopting new concepts such as location saving advantages, cost savings, market premiums and marketing intangibles in the APA program and bilateral negotiation, which is also evidenced by the principle published in Chapter 10 in the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries. Therefore, it is necessary for multinationals to analyze and consider these new concepts going forward. Therefore, the total package is crucial for proper planning to consider the analytical methods and data employed in the APA and to profoundly study the risky areas including intangibles, market premium, supply chain, cost saving, excessive profit split. Moreover, the SAT also transmits its intention in the 2012 Report that an APA may also serve Go Global Chinese entities which have overseas operations. Chinese entities shall pay close attention to the development and trend regarding OECD, the country of investment and Chinese transfer pricing regulations. On the basis of risk management, the Go Global Chinese entities should also attempt to communicate and cooperate with Chinese and overseas tax authorities employing APA program as a tool to increase tax certainty.
