Transfer pricing complexities in Asia Pacific are unique. Mechanical application of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines is not sufficient to deal with a diverse region where most of the jurisdictions are not OECD members. Further, countries range from small jurisdictions to two of the world’s most populous G20 member countries and conditions vary from some jurisdictions who are on the cusp of introducing transfer pricing legislation and others with sophisticated regimes with well-established APA and MAP programs.

Businesses in Asia Pacific are also rapidly evolving with supply chain disrupted by trade tensions and technology start-ups innovating novel business models. Apart from a good command of local issues, tax directors have to keep abreast of the latest changes impacting transfer pricing from the Base Erosion Profit Shifting project, the US tax reform and the new allocation rules proposed by the Task Force for Digital Economy.
