26 Regional Overview of Indirect Tax 26

27 Indirect Tax Regional Overview Indirect tax system is not harmonized amongst the region Indirect taxes applied on different levels: federal, provincial and municipal Value Added Tax (VAT) is the most common type of tax in the region Other type of taxes can also be commonly encountered (Excise Tax, Turnover Tax, Sales Tax, etc.) 27

28 Indirect Tax Regional Overview Average VAT rate across the region was 13% in 2015 Average rate is lower than Europe average (20%); but Some of the largest economies have higher rates (Argentina: 21% Brazil: 19%; Mexico and Colombia: 16%) Ever changing legislative environment VAT withholding, advanced payment or collection regimes exist 28

29 Main Compliance Requirements Tax systems are highly formal Invoices are required for the majority of the transactions Specific sales and purchase ledgers VAT returns must be filled monthly or bi-monthly Electronic invoice is a reality in several jurisdictions Argentina ---Chile ---Guatemala Brazil ---Ecuador ---Uruguay Bolivia ---Peru ---Mexico 29

30 Potential Pitfalls the Brazil Case Difficult to refund VAT credits Tax War between the different layers of taxation and amongst the States Heavy penalties applicable even to minor mistakes Aggressive Tax Audit approach by the Government High level of litigation 30

31 Indirect Taxes Strategy and Governance is Key for the Success of a Business in the Region 31

42 Transfer Pricing 42

43 Transfer Pricing: Global Landscape Tax authorities, external auditors and regulators are increasingly focused on the data, processes, governance and controls around transfer pricing (TP): BEPS and increased scrutiny by tax authorities Pressure from external and internal auditors in relation to TP implementation Heightened regulatory standards and increased risk of regulatory scrutiny in the financial sector

44 Key Principles: Operational Transfer Pricing (OTP) Policy Management Policy Implementation Compliance Identifying Intercompany Arrangements Defining & Documenting TP Policies Executing Intercompany Agreements Defining TP Calculation Mechanics Processing Transactions Monitoring Results & Making Adjustments Reporting & Close TP Documentation Technology Enablement Governance, Process and Controls Process focused on how TP policies are implemented within a company s financial systems Potential benefits: Enhance tax positions, improve ETR forecasting and increase EPS Increase operational efficiencies Reduce tax and financial reporting risks

45 Trade and Customs 45

46 Customs Value: Key Drivers Import value declarations similar to submission of tax returns Transfer Pricing Adjustments = Adjustments to import value Customs Valuation Import value used for duty and VAT calculations Transfer Prices = Customs Value Different Arms Length tests Invoice price/transaction value most common valuation method Dutiable additions to price are a part of customs value

47 Customs: Key Challenges No seat at the transfer pricing table Operationally burdensome to process value adjustment with customs authorities Lack of automated valuation processes No or late notification of transfer pricing adjustments Reactive processing of transfer pricing adjustments Lack of understanding on how transfer prices will impact customs in various steps in the supply chain No visibility into global import duty spend Customs team not consulted on transfer pricing decisions Certain countries do not allow for refunds on retroactive adjustments Customs and finance system not often connected

48 Indirect Tax 48

49 Indirect Tax Summary Indirect Tax Key Themes (1) Country and Local Jurisdictions (2) Value of Transaction (3) Taxable Base (4) By Transaction and line item (5) Product / Service Purchased/Sold (6) Customer and Vendor Considerations (7) Legal Entity Responsible for Documentation/Reporting Transactional: Domestic, Cross Border, Related and Unrelated Parties

50 Indirect Tax: Key Drivers & Challenges Indirect Tax: Considerations when providing goods, services and software Business to business and business to consumer considerations Place of supply rules Goods: Generally destination based Services: Remote supply, benefit received considerations, user location Recoverability Not all VAT is recoverable; sales and use tax refunds based upon exemptions Data Requirements: Line item level; bundled transactions vs. separately stated Registrations customer & vendor, Inco terms, material/services, usage, etc. Invoicing and Reporting Cash flow management Risk and opportunities

51 Interactions Transfer Pricing, Customs, Indirect Tax 51

52 Product Price Timeline TP adjustment for profitability target t 0 Set Transfer Price by Product, by Supply Chain t 1 t 2 t 3 Customs Import value/clearing Duty Import VAT Goods Receipt VAT accrual? Cost of Goods A/P Invoice Tax Offset Import VAT Cross Border: Goods Transaction Source: KPMG

53 Getting Cross Border Pricing Right 53

54 The Challenge The challenge is to predictively set transactional prices at the time of invoicing that: Comply with transfer pricing and customs transactional value armslength requirements. Result in tax compliant entity-level profitability in aggregate by source. Help ensure the company does not pay more duties than legally required. Coordinate the transfer pricing and customs groups process throughout the year. and to do this on a multi-jurisdictional basis as it multiplies the value to the company.

55 Example one Manufacturing entity (exporter) in Spain sells finished goods to affiliate limited risk distributor (importer) in Mexico Transfer Pricing Resale minus 5% intercompany pricing Distributor target of 3%- 5% Aggregate profitability Customs Customs circumstances of sale test used based on all costs plus profit equivalent to seller s overall profit for sale of similar goods of 10% On each transaction Indirect Tax 16% import VAT calculated on intercompany price + import duty VAT trapping concern in Mexico

56 Example one Results

57 Example Two Based on BEPS regulations affiliate in Mexico is no longer considered a limited risk distributor. New transfer pricing benchmarks are calculated for Mexican affiliates and intercompany prices are adjusted for future transactions Transfer Pricing Resale minus 7% intercompany pricing Distributor target of 7%-10% Aggregate profitability Customs Customs circumstances of sale test used based on all costs plus profit equivalent to seller s overall profit for sale of similar goods of 8% On each transaction Indirect Tax 16% import VAT calculated on intercompany price + import duty VAT trapping concern in Mexico

58 Example Two Increased Risk and Unbalanced Duty Payments

59 Example Three Strategic setting of intercompany prices to meet transfer pricing (including new BEPS requirements) and Customs requirements. Avoid over payment of customs duties and increased trapped VAT Transfer Pricing Resale minus 7% intercompany pricing Distributor target of 7%-10% Aggregate profitability Customs Customs circumstances of sale test used based on all costs plus profit equivalent to seller s overall profit for sale of similar goods of 8% On each transaction Indirect Tax 16% import VAT calculated on intercompany price + import duty VAT trapping concern in Mexico

60 Example Three: Compliant & Balanced

61 In summary There are various connections among TP, Customs, Indirect Tax Today most companies view and handle each area independently compliance risk and missed opportunities Increased coordination and strategic planning can not only mitigate risk but provide tangible benefits and savings Technology is becoming available to address the three areas more strategically Source: KPMG Bridging the Gap Workshop New York April 10, 2015

70 Primary uses of Data in Trade FIND SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES What could you do? ENSURE COMPLIANCE Common Examples Tariff Code usage - Consistency Country of Origin analysis - FTA opportunities Broker performance - Accuracy rates IMPROVE EFFICIENCY MEASURE KPIS

71 Data Analytic Trends in Trade The future of D&A in trade is zeroing in on the right data and applying the right analytics to generate tangible value Auditing of trade activity will be enhanced through advanced risk profiling Operational compliance dashboards to monitor and report risks and opportunities Collaboration among business support functions to collectively mitigate risk and increase opportunity (i.e., Operational Transfer Pricing)
