In early July, as follow up work in relation to the BEPS project, the OECD issued a new public discussion draft paper (the “Draft Paper”) regarding the transfer pricing aspects of financial transactions.
The Draft Paper seeks to clarify principles previously included in the 2017 OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations (the “OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines”) in relation to four areas. Further detail on each of these topics and the implications for Financial Services groups appears below.
