Updated! EY COVID-19 Response Tracker | Transfer Pricing

The COVID-19 pandemic is intensifying the uncertain environment for transfer pricing. Many jurisdictions are therefore adopting new measures designed to help taxpayers meet their compliance-related obligations. These include postponing deadlines for transfer pricing declarations, forms and filings, including Country-by-Country (CbC) notification and CbC Report filing deadlines.

At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting existing tax authority processes, including the issuance of rulings, advance pricing agreements (APAs) and the Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP).

A significantly expanded and updated version of the Transfer Pricing COVID-19 Tracker is now available. The Tracker has been extended to now incorporate 53 jurisdictions, with 19 receiving updates since the previous edition. 

We have also developed additional trackers to help you follow the impacts on the pandemic on tax. These include:
