Wednesday, 3 June 2020 | Navigating the Asia-Pacific Transfer Pricing landscape through COVID-19 (10 am HKT)

How should companies manage their transfer pricing through the COVID-19 pandemic?

COVID-19 has placed unprecedented strain on businesses and this has directly impacted on their global transfer pricing (TP) models that are not designed with pandemics in mind. While some tactical TP options can be considered to complement a company’s overall COVID-19 strategy, the implementation of this within Asia-Pacific can create challenges. 

Marked differences in interpretation and application of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD’s) Transfer Pricing Guidelines across jurisdictions, makes a consistent TP approach difficult. And even if a common solution can be agreed, further frustration can come from competing customs and Value Added Tax (VAT)/Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications. These issues can be costly and may erase any benefits that TP tries to achieve in aiding a company’s COVID-19 strategy.   

In this webcast, we will explore these challenges and discuss potential options available to companies to manage transfer pricing, customs and indirect tax holistically; and to reduce negative impacts in a cash-focused COVID-19 environment.  

Join our webcast with EY Transfer Pricing and Indirect Tax presenters who will share their insights on: 

  • The common transfer pricing issues affecting companies during this pandemic period
  • Considerations that companies should think of when implementing within their COVID-19 strategic plan
  • How certain tax authorities in Asia-Pacific are dealing with TP issues
  • The customs and indirect tax implications that can conflict with TP objectives
  • How should companies prepare for potential post-COVID-19 tax controversy
