OECD Council approves changes to OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines to incorporate BEPS reports

The Council of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD Council) on May 23, took the formal step of adopting a recommendation to incorporate the guidance set out in the reports on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Actions 8-10 and 13, issued in October 2015, into the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines (OECD TPG) (the Transfer Pricing Recommendation). Furthermore, the OECD Council adopted a Recommendation on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Measures Related to Transfer Pricing (the BEPS Recommendation), recommending that both the OECD member countries and non-member countries follow the guidance set out in the Actions 8-10 Report and the Action 13 Report.
