Transfer Pricing US Inbound and Outbound Transactions US Income Tax Significance Slide 4

Definition – TP/TPing The definition of a transfer price is the price at which controlled or related entities set for goods, services, or use of property/intangibles. Transfer Pricing refers to the documentation or the setting of charges between related parties that are arm’s length – i.e., what unrelated parties would charge under similar circumstances. The underlying premise to Transfer Pricing is that profits or costs incurred in a transaction are tied to the functions performed and to the risks assumed. Slide 5

Valuing Profit Drivers Easy part: establishing profit margins for routine activities: – Toll or contract manufacturing – Limited risk distribution – Contract services Hard part: carving up residual profit – Risk – IP – Customer base Slide 6

Why Bother? IRC 6662(e) penalty avoidance – Documentation contemporaneous to filing of US return (OECD countries require documentation before transaction takes place) – Transactional penalty – price for property or service is 200% more or 50% less than “correct price” – Net Adjustment Penalty – transfer pricing adjustment exceeds lesser of (a) 5 million or (b) 10% of gross receipts Slide 7

Why Bother? Determining Intercompany Prices – Start-up or supply chain changes made by an organization – Financial statement audit – Value of goods imported into the US for duty purposes Reduce Risk of Double Taxation – Global study to address all countries affected – Growing concern of BEPS in OECD countries with efforts to increase tax transparency Slide 8

Expatriates An expatriate refers to an individual who lives outside their native country. – Includes individuals who forfeit citizenship and exiles themselves from one’s native country – International assignments Outbound – employer sending U.S. employee to a foreign location to work. Inbound – employer sending non-U.S. employee to a U.S. location to work. Slide 9

Expatriates – Issues to address regarding international assignments Deciding employment relationship – will home-country continue as employer? May employee be subject to social security tax in both the home and host countries or is an exemption available under a Totalization Agreement? Tax equalization payment will be made to employee to equalize for any additional taxes owed? Estate taxation planning and tax filings to be paid by employer? Slide 10

Expat Association How is transfer pricing related to Expats? – If home-country company (employer) continues paying expat salary but expat performs services for a related party in another country, transfer pricing applies when: Employer cross-charges the other company for services performed Employer is treated as having a permanent establishment (PE) in the other country. Slide 11

Permanent Establishment P rofits are attributable to a PE in an amount in which the PE would have made if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in similar or same activities. Includes only profits derived from the assets used, risks assumed, and activities performed by the PE. This is a transfer pricing exercise of allocating income and expenses according to the risks assumed, assets utilized, and functions performed as if PE were a separate business. Slide 12

US vs Non-US Resident Determination of whether an individual qualifies as a US resident (taxed on worldwide income) or a non-US resident (taxed on US-sourced income) can be determined in a number of ways. US ResidentNon US Resident Green card holder X Citizen of the US X Substantial Presence Test Met X Substantial Presence Test Met but Treaty Exemption Claimed X First Year Election Made X Closer Connection X Slide 13

Non-US Resident US Taxable Income U.S. source investment income – Taxed on gross income with no deductions permitted – Taxed at a 30% rate via withholding unless reduced by tax treaty US source Fixed Determinable Annual and Periodic (FDAP) income – Interest, dividends, rents, royalties – 30% statutory rate on gross income US Payor is withholding agent – Certain statutory and treaty exemptions exist Capital gains generally tax free to foreign investors – Exception for gains from the disposition of US real property (FIRPTA) U.S. Estate Taxation – Value of U.S. gross estate > $60k, an estate tax return (form 706-NA) is required. – U.S. has approximately 16 death tax treaties in effect.
