Exactera’s 2024 TP Symposium
I am pleased to announce that I will speak at Exactera’s 2024 TP Symposium in Lausanne, Switzerland. My presentation will focus on the critical area of transfer pricing case law, which has increasingly become a cornerstone of international tax compliance and litigation.
The 2024 Annual TP Symposium will be held from September 17 to 18 in Lausanne, Switzerland. This event focuses on transfer pricing (TP) and intellectual property (IP) policy discussions, featuring keynote speeches, workshops, panels, and case studies led by industry experts. Highlights include insights on managing TP documentation, navigating the digital economy’s impact on TP and IP, and strategies for IP valuation. The symposium also offers networking opportunities and practical sessions tailored to current TP challenges.
ABD vs SARS – A Landmark Case in Africa
During the symposium, I will delve specifically into the landmark ABD vs SARS case, South Africa’s first transfer pricing case. This case has set a significant precedent for both taxpayers and tax authorities and highlights the complexities and nuances that arise in transfer pricing disputes, particularly in emerging markets.
Why Transfer Pricing Case Law Matters
Transfer pricing disputes are becoming more frequent and complex as tax authorities tighten regulations and enforcement. Case law in this area provides crucial guidance on how courts interpret transfer pricing rules and the arm’s length principle. Understanding these judicial decisions is essential for anyone managing transfer pricing risk.
The ABD vs. SARS case, which I’ll analyze in detail, offers invaluable insights. It underscores the importance of robust transfer pricing documentation and the need for companies to carefully justify their pricing strategies in cross-border transactions. The judgment from this case has far-reaching implications, not only for South African entities but also for multinational corporations operating in similar jurisdictions.
What to Expect from My Presentation
In my talk, I will:
- Examine the facts of the ABD vs SARS case: I will outline the background, the arguments presented by both sides, and the court’s final decision.
- Discuss the implications of the case: How does this case influence current transfer pricing practices in South Africa and globally?
- Provide practical guidance On how companies can use this case as a reference to improve their own transfer pricing documentation and compliance efforts.
This session offers practical insights that you can apply directly to your business operations, ensuring that you are better prepared to handle transfer pricing challenges in the evolving global tax environment.
