PwC won International Tax Review Asia Tax Awards 2008

Archived webcasts - Release of the Chinese transfer pricing measures 

5 February 2009 (Thursday)

Understanding the rules, the challenges and what you need to do from here

  
After much anticipation, the State Administration of Taxation ("SAT") has issued The Implementation Measures on Special Tax Adjustments (Trial) ("the Measures"), including the requirements for transfer pricing contemporaneous documentation ("TPD Requirements").
  
Since the release of a draft version of the Measures in March 2008, the SAT has received feedback from multinational companies and transfer pricing professionals alike.  While components of the TPD Requirements (and the broader Measures) seem to be in line with international practice, there are some aspects that are unique to China.
   
Amid the milestone of the release of these Measures, PricewaterhouseCoopers hosted seminars in different languages across mainland China and Hong Kong to discuss and provide insights on the Measures including, in particular, the TPD Requirements.  In addition, a seminar focussing on considerations for financial services entities was held in Hong Kong.  Webcasts (hosted in English) have been held for our overseas and local participants who wish to get up-to-speed on these Measures and the TPD Requirements.
   
Given this access to first-hand knowledge on the Measures and the TPD Requirements, it is highly encouraged that multinational companies with operations in China (as well as Chinese companies with overseas operations) attend this webcast.
