Content

This Transfer Pricing & Intangibles course provides thorough information about the accurate and complete taxation and valuation of Intellectual Property (IP) and other Intangible Assets.

LESSON I
Transfer Pricing and Intangibles – Introduction
Today, intangible property generally represents between 40-80% of value-add of multinational enterprises (MNEs), making it a key component of a MNEs value chain. Intangible property includes business rights associated with commercial activities, including marketing activities. Intangible property will not always be shown on the balance sheet of a company, and often intangible property attracts a considerable risk, e.g. contract or product liability.

Given that Transfer Pricing issues pertaining to intangibles are a key area of concern to governments and taxpayers, the OECD found that updating Chapter VI and VIII of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines has become an increasingly important issue in the evolution of new business realities and subsequent adaptations to the Transfer Pricing regulations.

• The evolution of the MNE and the importance of intangibles
• OECD Definition of Intangible Property
• How do emerging jurisdictions (i.e. BRICS) deal with intangibles?
• Transfer Pricing and intangibles: 4 functional variables
