TPED First annual meeting (members only), in Vienna (in advance of the Global Transfer Pricing Conference organized by the Institute on Tax’s Transfer Pricing Center of WU - Vienna University of Economics and Business)....
TPED and WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Associate Professor Matthias Petutschnig launch the “Comparability Research Project (2018-2019)”. The project aims at identifying solutions to cope with the lack of comparables in emerging economies and developing countries.
The absence of domestic comparables has been pointed out by the Platform for Cooperation on Tax (IMF, OECD, UN, WBG ) as one of the major obstacle to apply the arm’s length principle in emerging economies and developing countries. In its Toolkit for Addressing Difficulties in Accessing Comparables Data for Transfer Pricing Analyses, the multilateral bodies call for additional economic research, notably in the field of comparability adjustments.
TPED brings new members from diverse background, primarily from academic but also the non-profit and private sectors: Matthias Petutschnig, Pim Fris, Dr. Giammarco Cottani, Ednaldo Silva, Martin Zagler, Emily Muyaa, Bert Steens, Sam Sim, Christof Beuselinck, Noël-Faustin Kouame, Amanda Pletz, and Dr Raffaele Pettruzzi....
