Description

Under the current challenging tax and economic environment, there has been a growing number and size of tax disputes between multinational enterprises (MNEs) and tax authorities globally in recent periods. As a dispute resolution mechanism, Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) has been proven to be an effective mean in resolving cross-border double taxation issues in tax disputes. Recently, we have assisted an MNE client in the conclusion of the first Hong Kong SAR (Hong Kong) – Chinese Mainland MAP case in Hong Kong relating to Transfer Pricing (TP) dispute since the release of MAP guidance by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (HKIRD). We have achieved a corresponding adjustment and obtained a substantial tax refund from the HKIRD, which is a very encouraging outcome to all taxpayers.

Meanwhile, Advance Pricing Arrangement (APA) provides a mechanism for taxpayers to obtain tax certainty for future (and historical) years, which could also reduce the incidence of double taxation and costs associated with audit defence in tax controversies.

In this seminar, we will share our insights and experience in dealing with MAP and APA cases in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Particularly, we will cover the recent success story of our MNE client in MAP application in Hong Kong, the benefits of engaging in MAP, and the key considerations in the application process:

Highlights of the seminar

  • Latest development of MAP in Hong Kong
  • MAP application – our success story
  • Key considerations to a successful MAP application
  • How APA can help manage TP risk and obtain tax certainty
