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

Transfer pricing considerations for US and Canadian multinationals operating in the BRICS countries

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 seventh installment of BorderCrossings – our monthly webcast series devoted to transfer pricing and related tax issues.

Transfer pricing considerations for US and Canadian multinationals operating in the BRICS countries

Globalization means that US and Canadian firms are operating in an increasing number of international jurisdictions. This is especially true in the rapidly expanding “BRICS” economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) where market opportunities are often greatest. The global economic downturn has put additional pressure on companies to make competitive, cost-effective supply chain management decisions. BorderCrossings will devote several episodes to this critical area of interest and concern to a growing number of businesses. In this initial overview segment, the speakers will address the following issues:

• Hot topics
• Legislative trends
• Case law developments
• Practical considerations
• Take-aways for US and Canadian multinationals

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.
