The forthcoming Chapter X of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines: Financial Transactions

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) plans to incorporate its final Transfer Pricing Guidelines on Financial Transactions (the Report), released earlier this year, into a new Chapter X of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. The OECD has not stated specifically how or when the Report will be integrated. While the Report does not directly change US domestic law, it is unclear how it will affect the existing interpretation of US IRC Sections 385 and 482. Any divergence between US domestic law and the Report may lead to increased controversy and may result in a greater need for competent authority proceedings where available.

On this webcast, our panelists will discuss key considerations for US companies, focusing on areas of tension between the US Section 482 regulations and the new OECD guidance. The panelists will also discuss recent global audit activity in financial transactions and the current state of financial markets in the COVID-19 environment.

Additional topics will include:

  • Intra-group lenders without functional substance
  • Actual delineation of the transaction:
    • Guaranteed loans
    • Terms of funding
  • "Options realistically available" analysis
  • Cash pools
  • Credit rating
  • Local implementation
