What does a case about fishing have to do with transfer pricing? According to Lisa Yashar of WTP Advisors, the transfer pricing landscape could be impacted by Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a case about a U.S. law governing marine fisheries management. Its impact could be wide-reaching, providing opportunities to challenge agency interpretations of laws. This includes the treasury regulations under IRC § 482. Follow this link to learn more https://lnkd.in/gwd4u2dw

Are your benchmarking studies causing overcompensation to foreign distributors?   In transfer pricing, the practice of providing distributor entities (often called routine distributors) with a target operating margin within a range effectively shifts the bulk of entrepreneurial risk to the source entity (such as a manufacturing, sourcing, or HQ entity). Transfer pricing practitioners often use stand-alone, entrepreneurial companies to benchmark arm’s length returns when applying the comparable profits method (CPM). However, routine distributor tested parties are not entitled to returns associated with entrepreneurial risks. How can we address this problem?    In their article, “CPM Benchmarking Studies: Risk Adjustments to Improve Comparability” published in the August 12 issue of Tax Notes International, Kash Mansori and Guy Sanschagrin, CPA/ABV of WTP Advisors propose an approach to adjust CPM Benchmarking returns– helping US multinational companies avoid overpaying taxes caused by overcompensating foreign routine distributor entities. For more information, contact Kash or Guy.   Note that for the same reasons provided above, these CPM Benchmarking adjustments may also apply to service provider entities that are compensated via a markup on their total costs.   Here’s the link to the article in Tax Notes International: https://lnkd.in/gQT6inUf (subscription required)
