Overview:

As the world grapples with the unprecedented economic disruptions brought by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the U.S. and Canada are confronted by the added challenge of maintaining transfer pricing compliance. Most businesses are now forced to adjust their transfer prices, analysis, and documentation and revisit their force majeure clauses to look for alternative means of fulfilling their contract obligations. Thus, creating a profound strain on the operations of MNEs.

Businesses and practitioners must keep themselves abreast of the regulatory developments in this field of regulation. They must also recalibrate their transfer pricing practices in existing supply chains and adopt practical strategies to ensure business continuity amid the crisis.

In a LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of the emerging trends, developments, and critical issues in transfer pricing during the COVID-19 crisis. Speakers will also offer practical strategies to overcome drawbacks in this time of uncertainty.

Key topics include:

  • COVID-19 Implications on Transfer Pricing
  • Tax Authority Guidance relating to Pandemic
  • Critical Issues and Red Flags
  • Practical Tips and Strategies
  • What Lies Ahead

    • Structural economic changes from COVID has (or potentially has) changed valuation assumptions and benchmark inputs in the short term and potentially in the long run (e.g., relative valuations and estimation of systemic risk)
