BorderCrossings ... with Ernst & Young's transfer pricing and tax professionals

Second Installment

A monthly webcast series addressing US-Canada transfer pricing and related multinational tax issues

Transfer pricing touches nearly every area of your multinational operations, making it one of your key tax challenges and concerns. Increasingly well-staffed tax authorities are applying more sophisticated and sweeping transfer pricing tools, placing greater demands on you to document and defend your transfer pricing in more and more countries. To help you stay informed and able to adopt a more proactive stance in developing and defending your transfer pricing policies and practices, Ernst & Young is pleased to bring you this second installment of BorderCrossings – our new monthly webcast series devoted to transfer pricing and related tax issues.

Reducing compliance costs: use of global documentation

An increasing number of countries are legislating formal documentation requirements. Consequently MNEs need to pay more attention to developing “Glocal” documentation that addresses the need to comply with local country transfer pricing documentation requirements, but at the same time is globally consistent and cost effective to compile and maintain. The speakers will discuss:

• Documentation requirements and trends in the US, Canada and other regions
• Ensuring global coordination and leverage
• Comparable benchmarking across multiple geographies
• Managing exposure to penalties
• Managing the costs of compliance and a sophisticated, flexible and cost efficient approach to compiling global
transfer pricing documentation
• Integrating the in-house TP team with outside advisors

During this live, interactive webcast, you will have the opportunity to ask questions through the website, and the panelists will answer as many of your questions as time permits.

This program will be of interest to vice presidents/directors of tax/international tax/transfer pricing, directors of finance, CFOs, international tax managers and tax accountants looking for the latest practical information and planning ideas to support their global business initiatives. We hope you will be able to join us.
