Transfer Pricing

Full course description

Students should become familiar with applying transfer pricing rules in the area of international taxation. When analyzing transfers within legal entities, the transfer pricing rules – often modelled after the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines – contribute to attributing the correct revenues and costs to legal entities and permanent establishments in order to assess taxable profit. This course will address the concepts behind these fiscal transfer pricing rules and guide students in their application, for instance in the context of financial activities and the use of intellectual property. The course will also focus on some selected differences between the OECD Guidelines and actual country practices.

The topics in this course will be prepared by students in small groups and will be presented to the group during the tutorials. In this way students can further develop the skills which will be relevant for them in their professional life.
