Advanced pricing agreement (APA)

As tax controversies increase globally, companies are facing even more challenges to mitigate tax risk and achieve tax certainty. APA remains an effective tool for achieving those goals.

In China, an APA is a method of reducing the likelihood of an audit, reducing compliance costs over the term of the APA and to provide certainty around a company’s tax outcome regarding their international transactions.
