Transfer pricing is the most important issue in international taxation today, but transfer pricing regulations for the United States and its major trading partners have changed significantly over the past decade. Professor Tang explains these changes and their impact on trade among multinational companies. In doing so he covers not only changes in U.S. regulations and their effects on multinational companies, but also the changes that have taken place in Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the OECD, and elsewhere, and their impact on U.S. business. Also discussed in detail are the advance pricing agreements (APA) programs of the United States and Canada; a new paradigm for resolving a variety of issues that have arisen recently in intrafirm trade and transfer pricing; and, for business executives, an approach for managing a corporate transfer pricing system. The book is an essential reading for professionals and their colleagues in the academic community. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
