Amount B of Pillar 1 has received relatively little attention, while the merits of Amount A and the intricacies of Pillar 2 have been debated over the last two years. The implementation of Amount B as part of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines in early 2024 has however put the focus back on this important policy. The stated aim of Amount B is to “streamline the process for pricing baseline marketing and distribution activities in accordance with the arm’s length principle.” This workshop will therefore provide an overview of the key concepts of Amount B, look at transactions in scope, the most appropriate method for pricing in scope transactions, documentation requirements and much more besides. Workshop attendees will also have an opportunity to discuss and debate the pros and cons of the unresolved issues, and consider the potential impact for both marketing and distribution operations and for other intercompany transactions not intended to be covered by Amount B.

Workshop agenda to be released soon.
Every year, businesses must navigate an increasingly pressurised, complex and shifting regulatory landscape as part of the annual statutory audit process. Transfer pricing forms a key and often overlooked piece of the puzzle, and has grown further in importance following publication of the Transfer Pricing Records Regulations 2023 on 19 July 2023. For businesses that meet the £200m turnover threshold, HMRC now expects the Senior Accounting Officer to include consideration of the approach to transfer pricing as part of their assessment of the tax accounting controls and procedures. Tax governance isn’t a new concept, but it is an area that is continuing to evolve. With changes in legislation having a growing focus on the importance of data, processes, controls and governance, this workshop will provide practical experiences and insights to help guide your business through these evolving requirements. Members of the wider Grant Thornton network will also be on hand to comment upon and answer questions about their Audit of Tax experiences outside of the UK.
