This is for the first time that such high level international seminar is being held in India in association with Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). About 150 representatives from about 30 member countries of OECD along with those of International Monetary Fund(IMF), World Bank and tax officials from India are expected to participate in this two day international seminar.
India has also taken various steps to strengthen transfer pricing provision to check misuse of the provisions and efforts to shift profit to another country. The variety of inter-company transactions, increased global business restructuring and location of companies in various tax jurisdictions have brought various challenges to the tax administration on transfer pricing rules.
