On 11 February 2020, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released its final report with transfer pricing guidance on financial transactions (the Report). It aims to clarify the application of the principles included in the 2017 edition of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations (OECD TPG). The Report represents the first time that guidance on financial transactions is included in the OECD TPG, with the objective of creating consistency in the application of transfer pricing and helping to reduce transfer pricing disputes and double taxation. 

In response to the guidance and to discuss key messages and implications arising therefrom, EY will be hosting the following global webcast:
