US-Japan Transfer Pricing considerations

This month’s BorderCrossings webcast looks at the US-Japan transfer pricing relationship. We’re delighted to have two very special guests join us. We’ll hear from an IRS official who has spent decades reviewing, analyzing and negotiating double-tax cases and Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) with Japan. We will also hear from a Vice President of Corporate Tax with significant experience exploring the nuances of US-Japan transfer pricing issues. To provide some context, we will begin by discussing (1) typical US-Japan related-party transactions, (2) statistics from the IRS and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and (3) Japan’s National Tax Agency’s (NTA) structure.

Specifically, we’ll discuss:

  • Typical cross-border and transfer pricing transaction considerations
  • The importance of US-Japan APAs in the Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program
  • The structure of the NTA and implications for APAs
  • Potential benefits of an APA
  • Recent developments/issues
  • How taxpayers, the IRS and the NTA might view the OECD’s International Compliance Assurance Programme (ICAP)

This month’s BorderCrossings webcast will focus on detailed aspects of transfer pricing valuation. This is especially relevant for transfer pricing economists involved in valuation work. So please sharpen your pencils if this is of interest. Topics will include: (1) the power of the “differential income stream” approach under the cost sharing regulations; (2) everything you wanted to know about pre-tax versus post-tax valuation for transfer pricing (but were afraid to ask), including comparing and contrasting transfer pricing valuation and financial reporting valuation; and (3) realistic alternatives as a valuation principle.

We hope you will be able to join us for this webcast.
