TPED invited to speak at IBFD 4th African Tax Symposium – Trends in International Taxation: An African Perspective, in Mombasa, Kenya. TPED President Sébastien Gonnet presented on The Elusive Search for Comparables in Africa in a panel session covering Transfer Pricing in Africa, chaired by Emily Muyaa. The presentation aimed at evaluating the various options available to tax authorities and tax payers to cope with the lack of comparables in Africa. Aligned with the work done by the Platform of Cooperation on Tax (IMF, OECD, UN, WBG), Mr Gonnet discussed two options to establish local arm’s length ranges / safe harbors:

  • Option #1 : Leverage from local domestic available financial information;
  • Option #2 : Define economically-sound adjustments to non-local comparables.

Research Areas, Coping with the lack of comparables
December 2017

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.
