Main Summit Day 1 - 2024 (Subject to Change)
- Emma Donnelly - Senior Managing Director, FTI CONSULTING
Mayra Lucas, Senior Transfer Pricing Advisor at the OECD, is currently working on the OECD project on the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy, focusing on Pillar 1 and leading the work on the 2020 review of the CbC minimum standard. She will be joining us again in London to brief you on key developments pertaining to Amount B, while also lifting the veil on what else might be on the OECD pipeline. Don’t miss this opportunity to put your questions directly to Mayra on the day or send these in advance to michele.costa@informa.com

In keeping with previous stagings of our opening panel session, dedicated to the discussion and analysis of the most salient TP policy developments around the globe, we have once again assembled a distinguished group of officials to share critical insights on ongoing policies as well as future ones in the works. Following on from Mayra Lucas’ keynote, the panel will pick up on some of the themes raised in her opening speech, not least with reference to the OECD work on the Pillars. Another key area of focus for the discussion will be the European Commission’s Transfer Pricing Directive. This has received considerable attention since its unveiling and we will benefit from Mauro Faggion’s technical knowledge of its objectives and reach, so our audience can get in-depth understanding of the practical issues at play for multinationals in scope. Last but not least, we will hear from Hector Thompson of the ATO, who will help us understand how Tax Administrations are keeping up to speed with global tax policy reform vis-à-vis the challenges of their domestic fiscal landscapes. As always, the audience will be encouraged to send their questions through via Slido.

The OECD’s report on Amount B of Pillar One does not yet provide the certainty companies and countries seek for approaching the transfer pricing of baseline wholesale marketing and distribution activities. Considerable effort has been invested in developing the Amount B framework. If implemented in a manner that does not compromise the arm’s length principle it is likely to be well received by both taxpayers and tax administrations. The report has however created too many forks in the road for tax administrations to choose from, ranging from whether to adopt or reject the guidance, to introducing a more qualitative scoping criterion. In the short term more taxpayer and tax administration resources may be required to wade through the Amount B requirements and result in an unwanted spike of disputes. The panel will discuss the Amount B report, whether the goal of introducing a simplified and streamlined approach has been achieved and the wider implications of the proposed framework.

Pillar 2 is one of the most significant changes to the international tax landscape in decades. A global minimum tax of 15% and introduction of tax accounting concepts into tax law for the purposes of considering effective tax rates represents a fundamental shift in the way businesses are taxed. The additional global compliance and reporting obligations are significant, placing increased demands for data, on finance teams and IT systems. Many countries have now adopted Pillar 2 into domestic legislation, with the multinational and domestic top up tax rules already in effect. The panel will discuss practical suggestions on how to approach Pillar 2 “from the trenches”.
