The primary remaining areas on which the IRS needs additional information, and the focus of the designated summons, are transfer pricing issues involving intangibles and relating to two regional cost sharing arrangements between Microsoft and its affiliates. (Choi Decl.,.. Transfer pricing generally, and as embodied in U.S.C., refers to the prices that related parties charge one another for goods and services transferred between them. P.O. Box Washington, D.C. 00-0
4 Case :-mc-00-jcc-bat Document Filed // Page of 0 0 The most common application of the transfer pricing rules is the determination of the correct price for transfers between related entities.. The IRS is authorized to allocate income and deductions among commonly controlled or owned entities as necessary to prevent tax avoidance or to clearly reflect the income of such entities. U.S.C.. In particular, when rights to intangible property are transferred or licensed between related entities, the income with respect to such transfer or license shall be commensurate with the income attributable to the intangible. Id. [T]he standard to be applied in every case is that of a taxpayer dealing at arm s length with an uncontrolled taxpayer. Treas. Reg..-(b(. Non-arm s length prices can be used to shift income, and thus the incidence of tax, to tax-favored jurisdictions.. Understanding the role of sales and marketing in generating profits is central to evaluating Microsoft s transfer pricing valuations related to its cost sharing arrangements. Mr. Ballmer was the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft from 000 until 0. In interviews conducted by the IRS in September and October 0, current Microsoft employees repeatedly identified Mr. Ballmer as a central decision maker with overall responsibility for sales and marketing priorities and strategies. Microsoft s 00 0-K also identifies Mr. Ballmer as the chief operating decision maker responsible for deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. (Choi Decl.,.. Operating in these capacities, Mr. Ballmer should have had responsibility for and knowledge of sales and marketing activities and functions, including, but not limited to, setting goals and priorities, and evaluating the impact of such activities and functions. The testimony sought from Mr. Ballmer may be relevant to the IRS s consideration of whether the transfer P.O. Box Washington, D.C. 00-0

More specifically, Mr. Ballmer s testimony may be relevant to evaluating the role of sales and marketing in Microsoft s operations in the Asia- Pacific and Americas regions, and the relative value of non-technology intangibles in those operations. (Choi Decl.,.. All administrative steps as required by the Internal Revenue Code for issuance and service of a related summons have been followed. (Choi Decl.,.. There is no Justice Department referral, as that term is described in Section 0(d( of the Internal Revenue Code, in effect with respect to Microsoft for the taxable years ending June 0, 00, June 0, 00, and June 0, 00.
