Erosion and Profit Sharing (BEPS) – Issues and Solutions

Nations
across the globe are increasingly looking at ways and means of preventing the
erosion of their tax bases by entering into multilateral agreements and
reforming municipal law, including transfer pricing regulations. In 2013, the
OECD released two reports capturing the debate in this field. The lack of
uniform standards and ancillary issues of dispute resolution and tax treaty
obligations have further complicated the contours of this issue. Authors are
expected to identify and deal with the key problems in this area and suggest
mitigation measures as well.
