COURSE NO. TT02
This course explores international corporate taxation and will help delegates to understand the complexities of international tax and adopt best practice approaches to transfer pricing.
The impact of cross-border transactions on revenue collection, and the design of effective tax systems, should be of key importance to tax policy makers and administrators. Structures and prices are not always set fairly, resulting in significant implications for the collection of taxes. At the same time, tax systems and administration can deter the inbound investment that can be critical for economic growth.
Days one and two will focus on the relationship of corporate taxation to investment, with particular attention to the role of international tax treaties. Days three and four will look at mechanisms for collecting tax, with particular attention to the effect of transfer pricing rules that address pricing distortions in transactions within multinationals. The last day will also be spent on looking at case studies- particularly from Africa and discussion of any questions delegates have regarding this very important subject.
At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the key direct tax principles that underpin an effective framework for cross-border taxation
- Understand the OECD and UN Model Tax Conventions and develop the knowledge to approach tax treaty issues with confidence
- Explain how transfer pricing is legislated in local tax law and strategies
- Appreciate where mispricing and potential tax revenue leakage may occur
- Understand the tools and techniques undertaken by a tax administration to identify and mitigate against transfer pricing problems
Domestic Tax Officers, Tax Investigation Officers, Customs and Excise Officers, Legal Officers, and other officers in Revenue Authorities. The course is also suitable for finance and tax personnel of multinational enterprises, tax accountants, economists and lawyers, in-house tax managers, tax and transfer pricing advisers and government officials.
