Transfer Pricing Aspects of Intangibles

Intangibles are one of the most challenging topics in the transfer pricing area, both from a theoretical perspective and because of the number and size of the disputes that arise in relation to their recognition and valuation.  This became obvious in the OECD project on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructuring. The OECD Committee on Fiscal Affairs decided to commence a new project examining the transfer pricing aspects of intangibles, to be carried out by Working Party No. 6 on the Taxation of Multinational Enterprises.
