Message from Dr. Jian Li
Senior Partner at Kunda Tax Consulting (Shanghai) Limited
Welcome to our websites. Thank you for expressing an interest in Kunda Tax Consulting (Shanghai) Limited.
Since the Action Plan on BEPS was officially revealed by the G20, the the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) has reiterated its determination to strengthen co-operation with the OECD on the BEPS project and has also set forth its general positions to address BEPS issues in China. This is reflected in the transfer pricing regulatory and enforcement developments in the country in recent years.
Following the issuance of the Chinese Transfer Pricing Rules (Circular 42 and Circular 6), the SAT is fully prepared to implement transfer pricing regulations with greater energy and confidence.
In view of the above developments as well as the generally vigilant transfer pricing enforcement environment in China, it is advisable that taxpayers should:
- Strive to comply with compliance requirements for related party transaction disclosure, document preparation and submission;
- Prudently assess transfer pricing risks and design an effective transfer pricing system that can cope with possible future investigations by tax authorities;
- Conduct economic analysis to provide evidence to support transfer pricing policies of related-party transactions;
- Regularly review and update their transfer pricing systems to maintain and enhance their effectiveness from a commercial and transfer pricing perspective;
- Seek support from external transfer pricing experts. The areas and conditions that are suitable for seeking support from external transfer pricing consultation expert may include assistance to prepare transfer pricing documentation, design transfer pricing systems, and conduct economic analysis to further reduce the risk of transfer pricing investigations and adjustments by tax authorities.
