Description

The international aspects of 2017’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation are more than a little intricate and we unpack how it affects businesses along with other tax items from transfer pricing to the repatriation of U.S. funds.

 

The Impact of BEPS on Transfer Pricing

World Finance reported that around 60 percent of international trade happens within multinationals and so transfer pricing is merely a way of life for these companies and subsidiaries. With this in mind, Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), part of OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan 13, is set to be a significant development surrounding annual returns. Paired with CbCR, BEPS also suggests utilizing a master file and local file. Bring in for scrutiny principles that are usually held at arm’s length. This session discusses the implementation and reporting requirements in a post BEPS environment.  Learn how to successfully manage your Global TP Documentation.

U.S. Tax Reform and Its Aftershocks

Tax reform has altered the face of international business through both planned changes and unintended consequences. Explore what clients are already struggling with during these restructuring efforts and gain a clear understanding of the new base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) and global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII).

Tax Issues in Canada

With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act casting a constant spotlight on the taxes within our country, it is far too easy to miss important changes and updates taking place around the world. In addition to the US changes on international business, 2017 also saw major changes in Canadian tax law. In this session we discuss Canadian-specific income and sales tax issues, as well as foreign reporting requirements, so you can manage the effects on you and your cross-border clients.

Return to Sender: How to Bring Money Back into the U.S.

As of 2016, there was roughly $2.5 trillion in American companies’ funds being housed overseas, according to Capital Economics. The hesitation to bring this money home, where it can best benefit our economy, lies in our staggering corporate tax rate of 35 percent. How reform addresses the repatriation of funds is a large issue. Join us as we address it with a China- specific case study.
