It's that time of the year again, in which #transferpricing professionals are getting ready to prepare their 2024 Italian transfer pricing documentation. So, what's up with that Italian transfer pricing documentation? 📚 Well, as one of the few exceptions in the world, Italian transfer pricing documentation formally has to be presented in a specific sequence. It may be good to know that Reptune's proprietary transfer pricing documentation solution - Reptune.net - switches between OECD format and Italian format with just a click of the button. ✅ The Master File and Local File have to be prepared by the filing date of the corporate income tax return, and a legal representative has to tick a box in the corporate income tax return to confirm that this has been done. Legal representatives will not tick that box and sign off on the tax return unless the Master File and Local File have actually been prepared. ✍️ To evidence that the Master File and Local File were prepared in a timely fashion, an electronic signature with time stamp is required before the submission of the corporate income tax return. The deadline for filing of the corporate income tax return was changed a few times last year, but is currently still set at 31 October, so there's still plenty of time. ⏰ Interested to know more?

🆕 Revisiting the Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing In the complexity of day-to-day TP challenges, it’s easy to lose track of the basics. But a strong foundation is key, especially when it comes to choosing the right method. 📌 In our latest blog, we revisit the core transfer pricing methods, highlight what each one is best suited for, and share real-life case studies to show how they work in practice.

Wrapping up a crazy week with lots of calls and meetings with multinationals looking to automate their global #transferpricing documentation with Reptune.net. 🤖 Wrapping up early, because I am off to a wedding (not mine 😅) and left my colleague Mariia Minchenko with a prospective client with whom we’re running a Reptune.net trial. Masha just showed the client in a live workshop how - after setting up Reptune.net - preparing a Local File takes 10 minutes. 🚀 Have a great weekend all, or - if you’re lucky - a great holiday! 🏝️

In the last decade, we went through great lengths at Reptune to automate global #transferpricing documentation with our proprietary solution, "Reptune.net". In those 10 years, we haven't seen a disruptive technology like generative AI enter stage. 🤖 The question we should ask ourselves is to what extent generative AI ("AI") can help us and our clients prepare TP documentation. It is undeniable, that there is a (significant) place for AI in the global TP documentation process. In fact, AI is already being used in applications like Reptune.net and in the daily work of TP specialists. Some examples: 🤖 Write me a transfer pricing industry analysis for the industry in which [Client] operates. 🤖 What are [Client]'s main competitors in [Country]? 🤖 Write me a functional analysis for a typical limited risk distributor in [Industry]. 🤖 Check this Local File for inconsistencies. 🤖 Does this Local File meet the requirements in [Country]? The fundamental question is whether you should have a technology that is based on probability (AI) compile your TP documentation, if it can also be done through algorithmic automation. Most current TP documentation solutions, like Reptune.net, are historically based on algorithmic automation. An algorithm combined with a database will produce fully consistent global TP documentation. Yet, these solutions are being enhanced with AI features to make data processing, creation and review more efficient. Perplexity and I agree that the truth simply lies in the middle. 🤝 The most effective TP documentation solutions will integrate both technologies for optimal results. Interested to know more?

Should distributors use a gross margin (resale minus) or net margin (TNMM) method? Let's find out what the Danish courts had to say on the method selection.

Not a great week for OECD's Pillars. After the US officially abandoned the Pillar 2 initiative, we've got some breaking news from Japan regarding their Pillar 1 Amount B implementation. Japan announced they will not implement Amount B. But not only that, in FAQs to their decision, they further clarified they would not even accept Amount B if it was used by a counterparty jurisdiction. Taxpayers are required to determine arm's length prices in accordance with the existing transfer pricing methods, regardless of whether the jurisdiction of the foreign related party has adopted Amount B or whether that jurisdiction is a covered jurisdiction. The general OECD approach is that Inclusive Framework members commit to respect Amount B outcomes when applied by a “covered jurisdiction,” which are mainly low- and middle-income countries that have opted in. Most high-income OECD countries, including Japan, are not “covered jurisdictions” and have not implemented Amount B, but the prevailing practice has been to at least accept Amount B results from counterparties in covered jurisdictions. Japan’s decision not to accept Amount B under any scenario is a big blow to the initiative, as Japan is the world's #4 economy by GDP and 3rd in OECD, behind only US and Germany.

Automation is booming in the tax space and most notably in #transferpricing. The number of solutions addressing operational TP, benchmarking and TP documentation is increasing rapidly. But how do you assess which solution fits your needs best? I am writing this post, because last week a prospective client selected another solution than ours, without following the steps below, while a prospective client we talked to 2 years ago (which selected another solution than ours, without following the steps below), has reached out to us as they are reconsidering their decision. 1️⃣ Identify your needs: make a list of the problems you would like to solve through automation and the features a solution should include to address those problems 2️⃣ List of relevant solution providers by doing online research (Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) and asking peers 3️⃣ Organise introduction calls (60 minutes, not 30) with listed providers: present your company and your findings in Step 1️⃣, and listen to what the solution providers have to offer. Let them do an initial demo during the call, to get a first glimpse of what their solution can do. 🔴 This is not the moment to select your solution provider yet. Solution providers will promise you the world, and may have shown a mockup or best-case version of their solution. 4️⃣ Update your findings in Step 1️⃣. Based on the first discussions with solution providers, your view on the problems your solving and the features you're looking for may have changed. 5️⃣ Make a short list of providers, ask them to provide you with a commercial proposal, and to confirm that their solution solves the problems and includes the features that you have listed in Step 4️⃣. 6️⃣ Drop solution providers that don't respond, that are too expensive, or that do not meet the requirements defined in Step 4️⃣, and make a "very short list" of 2 or 3 providers. 🟠 Hold on. This still isn't the moment to select your solution provider. Solution providers may still be promising things they can't live up to. 6️⃣ The proof of the pudding is in the eating: ask the shortlisted providers for a free trial, preferably with a selection of your own data or data that resembles your case. 7️⃣ Make the time to actually test the solutions and analyse which one best meets the requirements formulated in Step 4️⃣. In this phase, also assess the responsiveness and level of support of the solution provider, by asking them questions. This will also give an indication of the level of support when you've actually purchased their solution. 8️⃣ Ask for client references to confirm your findings. 🟢 This is the moment you've been waiting for: out of the 2 to 3 solutions, your team probably has a clear idea which one stands out. If multiple solutions meet your needs, you're in the luxurious position of selecting based on contractual terms, including pricing. Interested to know more?
