Global Tax Reset—Transfer Pricing Documentation Summary
OverviewThe Global Tax Reset – Transfer Pricing Documentation Summary (“Guide”) compiles essential country-by-country (“CbC”) reporting and documentation (including master file and local file where applicable) information for 66 jurisdictions around the world. It has been reviewed and updated as of 20 February 2018.
As used in this guide, please note the following interpretations:• Secondaryfiling generally refers to a local filing obligation imposed on resident entities in a multinational enterprise (“MNE”) group when the jurisdiction does not receive the country-by-country
(“CbC”) report via automatic exchange from the parent or surrogate reporting entity’s jurisdiction. Some countries that have secondary filing requirements may provide exceptions for FY 2016 (that is, resident entities do not need to submit a CbC report for FY 2016).
• Localfileis defined as either an OECD local file (i.e., prepared in accordance with Annex II to Chapter V of the revised OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines) or transfer pricing documentation prepared under local regulations. Some countries also have disclosure requirements that do not directly relate to the OECD local file.
• Substantially complies means that the tax authority will accept a report that meets OECD content guidelines, and the report will likely meet penalty protection requirements. However, it is anticipated that additional information will be required to be provided upon a transfer pricing audit. In addition, some countries require transfer pricing reports to be prepared in local languages. Such language requirements are not considered in this summary when determining whether an OECD master file and local file can provide local documentation compliance. Lastly, this definition does not take into considerations rules for specific types of transactions such as cost sharing or financing.
• With respect to master file or local file/documentation filing requirements, “Submit” refers to a requirement to submit either all or, in certain countries, only parts of the documentation; "Provides" refers to having to provide the documentation upon request; "Contemporaneous" refers to having to prepare documentation by a certain date (usually by the time of filing annual tax returns). For certain countries, only certain types of documentation need to be prepared contemporaneously (e.g., documentation for self-adjustment, penalty protection or extraordinary business transactions); these countries are listed as having contemporaneous requirements. Certain countries have rules whereby documentation needs to be prepared by a tax return due date under one scenario but also needs to be submitted under another (e.g., Korea, Mexico and Uruguay); these countries are listed as having “Contemporaneous + Submit” requirements.
• "Parent surrogate filing" means voluntary filing for Ultimate Parent Entities resident in their jurisdictions of residence that do not yet require it. Specifically, according to the OECD implementation guidance, "jurisdictions that will not be able to implement with respect to fiscal periods from 1 January 2016 may be able to accommodate voluntary filing for Ultimate Parent Entities resident in their jurisdiction. This would allow the Ultimate Parent Entities of an MNE Group resident in those jurisdictions to voluntarily file their CbC report for the fiscal periods commencing on or from 1 January 2016 in their jurisdiction of tax residence." When an MNE makes a voluntary parent surrogate filing, the OECD recommends that secondary (local) filing obligations should not apply in any jurisdiction that otherwise would require constituent entities in that jurisdiction to file locally when the report is not received via automatic exchange under a tax treaty or tax information exchange agreement from the reporting entity's jurisdiction.
• Some countries provide a monetary threshold for filing or preparation of the master file or local file/documentation. For the purpose of this document, it is assumed any filing or preparation thresholds have been met.
• There may be multiple due dates for certain countries applicable for different parts of the master file or local file/documentation. The earliest due date that could apply is listed.
This Guide is a summary and indicative only, based on Deloitte’s understanding of the position at the time of publication. It should not be relied upon for making business decisions, and we recommend you consult a transfer pricing specialist before taking any action. The transfer pricing specialists in Deloitte member firms around the world have the knowledge and experience to help you on your journey. For more information regarding transfer pricing issues in specific countries, and about Deloitte’s tax practice in those jurisdictions, please contact your usual Deloitte transfer pricing adviser or one of the listed contacts.
