Amendment has institutionalised the transfer pricing relevance
Another amendment has institutionalised the transfer pricing relevance of a
transfer of functions together with their related risks and opportunities from
Germany to a related party or to a permanent establishment abroad.
The transfer is to be at market value based on the profit expectations of the parties
at the time of transfer. There is a rebuttable presumption that – in cases of
uncertainty – independent third parties would have agreed on a retrospective
adjustment to actual, should their expectations later turn out to have been
misplaced.
At all events, the taxpayer is required to identify the intangibles
attaching to the function.
