Action 8: Intangibles

Develop rules to prevent BEPS by moving intangibles among groupmembers. This will involve:

(i) adopting a broad and clearly delineated definition of intangibles;

(ii) ensuring that profits associated with the transfer and use of intangibles are appropriately allocated in accordance with (rather than divorced from) value creation;

(iii) developing transfer pricing rules or special measures for transfers of hard-to-value intangibles; and

(iv) updating the guidance on cost contribution arrangements.

Action 13: Re-examine transfer pricing documentation

Develop rules regarding transfer pricing documentation to enhance transparency for tax administration, taking into consideration the compliance costs for business.

The rules to be developed will include a requirement that MNE’s provide all relevant governments with needed information on their global allocation of the income, economic activity and taxes paid among countries according to a common template.
