The Transfer Pricing Environment in China

Transfer pricing is a reality for any multinational company. As a result of a globalized economy and increasing complexity in business models, tax authorities around the world are actively protecting their revenue base through the introduction of transfer pricing regimes, which focus on the taxation of profits that stem from related party transactions. These transfer pricing regimes typically provide guidance to taxpayers on how related party transactions should be priced and how taxpayers can discharge the burden of proof that their transfer pricing arrangements comply with the arm’s length standard. These transactions can be used to shift funds – and thereby profits. Such transactions can serve as a tool for finance and tax planning.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to welcome Paul Dwyer, Director and Head of International Tax and Transfer Pricing at Dezan Shira & Associates as he offers foreign investors a practical introduction to navigating the transfer pricing regime in China.
