Abstract:
This paper considers the structure of the transfer pricing rules in tax treaties and their modern development in the Transfer Pricing Guidelines. It discusses how tax structuring and restructuring relying on the guidelines occurred to reduce residence and source taxation and commences an analysis of the fault lines in the transfer pricing rules in order to consider possible changes to the approach to transfer pricing.
