Transfer Pricing & IPR Taxation
India is among many countries which have embraced Transfer Pricing (“TP”) regulations with prescribed mandatory documentation. TP is a complex tax. With, Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) TP has become a focus area. Implementation of General Anti Avoidance Regulations (GAAR) and Place of Effective Management (POEM), have made it more complicated. If the TP approach is not correct , clients may face following issues

- leads to double taxation as income has already been taxed elsewhere and relief under tax treaties may not be available;
- expensive and time-consuming litigation with tax authorities.
