| African Countries Discuss Transfer Pricing |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Thursday, July 07, 2011
Within the Africa Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), the tax authorities of several
African countries are considering how to collaborate in exchanging information
on the transfer pricing practices of multinational companies operating in their
countries.
The African tax authorities wish to learn more about the possible risk to their
tax bases posed by transfer pricing, and tax officials from five countries –
South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique – held a recent meeting
to consider the issue at ATAF’s offices in Pretoria.
Following the meeting, Logan Wort, ATAF’s executive secretary, reported
that the countries had agreed to start talks on a regional tax information exchange
agreement, which would allow them to share their data on all types of transfer
pricing, including not only the pricing of goods and services, but also the
operation of such matters as royalties, and management and procurement fees.
He also said that the representatives at the meeting wanted to be able to examine
the possible tax leakages arising if the arms-length principle behind cross-border
intra-group transactions is not maintained, while they also discussed the possibility
of providing for the secondment of officials between countries on particular
transfer pricing matters.
This comprehensive report in our Intelligence Report series
examines the global and national landscapes in which companies can use transfer
pricing to improve their after-tax returns, including summaries of recent
developments in design of the corporate supply train, the usefulness of 'offshore'
in international corporate tax planning, and a section covering the spread of
DTAAs and CFC laws. It is available in the Lowtax Library at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/subs_reports.asp
and a description of the report can be seen at
