The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has set a clear deadline for country- by- country reporting (CbCR) data on transfer pricing documentation for fiscal year beginning on or after 1 Jan 2016. It expects this data to be available by end of 2017.

The integration of tax within sustainability increases as tax transparency becomes a significant part of companies' sustainability efforts. Companies' tax contributions can positively impact local communities and environmental initiatives in territories where they operate, but this story is often not told or well understood.
The disclosure of pCbCR will be uncharted waters for most companies and is likely to represent the first time potentially sensitive country-level data on tax and profits will be made publicly available. The focus of pCbCR is on corporate income taxes, however new regulation gives businesses an opportunity and a foundation from which to tell their holistic tax story and help build trust with stakeholders.
Both the EU and Australia have introduced pCbCR reporting obligations. Find out more about pCbCR and how we can help:

Financial Transactions Transfer Pricing
When it comes to financial transactions transfer pricing, there’s ambiguity due to the absence of direct regulatory guidance. We’re ready to help you overcome the uncertainty. Our global teams include experts with technical and controversy experience, covering the spectrum of intercompany treasury transactions - including loans, guarantees and cash-pooling. We’ve developed technically robust support, ready to implement, across a range of instruments and operations that feel the impacts of finance and related treasury transactions across a multinational organisation.
Tax controversies are on the increase globally and companies are facing even more challenges to mitigating tax risk and achieving tax certainty. PwC’s TCDR network helps with the top issues multinational companies and facing today in terms of transfer pricing controversy.
Today, it’s more important than every to identify which activities in your business generate value and how profits get allocated. Increasingly, businesses are turning to Value Chain Analysis (VCA) to do this - particularly in light of the OECD having devoted a significant part of its treatment of the profit-split method to distinguishing the roles of VCA and profit-split. With the BEPS initiatives, particularly OECD‘s unified approach on taxing the digital economy, as well as the economic and business discruption as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, VCA has become a key analysis to include for assessing the company‘s transfer pricing position.
We can help you to identify which activities in your business generate value and how profits get allocated, by:
The cross-border intercompany transactions of multinational corporations are in the spotlight like never before. With unprecedented scrutiny from tax authorities, the media and the general public over the way global organizations conduct their financial affairs, driving substantive legislative changes both nationally and internationally, such firms are having to navigate an increasingly complex environment with significant financial and reputational risk.
This has served to place the tax departments of such organizations under increased pressure to have complete confidence in the effectiveness of their wider finance function and take a lead role in ensuring all intercompany transactions are supported by a robust governance framework, are executed through streamlined and efficient processes and have effective controls with a culture of openness and transparency.
Therefore, while transfer pricing compliance relies solely on tax departments, its operations go far beyond tax, to controllership, financial planning and budgeting, treasury, shared services, cultural leadership and other internal functions.
Our PwC Operational Transfer Pricing team can help you develop a holistic approach to govern and revolutionize your Transfer Pricing, from assessing your current processes, governance and control framework, all the way to transforming your intercompany execution using the most effective technologies for your organization.
Our Value Chain Transformation (VCT) team helps businesses align compliant tax strategies with business initiatives and operating models. This is a particularly important task today, in light of OECD BEPS and related initiatives.
We can support you whichever industry you’re in and whichever part of your value chain you’re looking to transform – including supply chain, innovation, marketing and sales, logistics, and global business services.
