The recent tax anti-avoidance regulations issued by the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) have showed that the Chinese tax authorities are seriously targeting taxpayers undertaking abusive tax arrangements without commercial substance (including the application for treaty benefits).
In recent weeks, the Chinese tax authorities have actively requested taxpayers to submit the 2008 and 2009 Transfer Pricing Contemporaneous Documentations ("TPD reports") based on the requirements stipulated in Guo Shui Han [2010] No.323. To drive the quality-review initiative, the local tax authorities are required to record and report the quality of TPD reports based on the scoring system set up by the SAT.
In this seminar, we will discuss how the Chinese tax authorities apply the anti-avoidance concepts in recent transfer pricing investigations, share real life cases and our experiences on how taxpayers could manage or mitigate the transfer pricing exposures in China.
PricewaterhouseCoopers' transfer pricing specialists will address the recent development of transfer pricing landscape in China including:
Implications and insights from recent TPD collection and review enforcement; Transfer pricing investigation and self-assessment trend in China and our insights on the latest technical concepts / arguments applied by the Chinese tax authorities. For instance, equity transfer among related entities, economic characterization of High New Tech Enterprise (“HNTE”), outbound royalty arrangement, marketing intangibles, costs / location savings, China market premium, etc; Recent development of Advance Pricing Arrangement (APA) and Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) in China; The SAT / local tax authorities’ key anti-avoidance initiatives in the coming years.
