Tax, transfer pricing and securitization vehicles: what’s new?

Securitization vehicles can be a powerful vehicle for carrying out third-party debt investment, but recent structuring options have introduced transfer pricing considerations that were previously overlooked. Market participants should be mindful of transfer pricing regulations while optimizing their strategies to leverage the flexibility of these vehicles. Adhering to the arm's length principle can help manage associated risks. Proactive collaboration with tax and transfer pricing experts is crucial for ensuring compliance and achieving financial objectives.

Addressing unwarranted top-up taxes: Exploring strategies and navigating challenges for multinationals under Pillar Two

The global tax landscape is in flux with the OECD's release of the Pillar Two Model Rules and their ongoing adoption worldwide. These rules aim to ensure that multinational enterprises (MNEs) pay at least a 15% tax rate in each of the jurisdictions where they operate, targeting base erosion and profit shifting. As per the Model Rules, if the effective tax rate (ETR) in a particular jurisdiction is below 15%, the so-called “top-up tax” will be levied. However, entities within an MNE group may face a situation where, due to a combination of how the jurisdictional ETR is determined and how charging provisions are applied, tax liabilities under Pillar Two potentially bear taxes that economically should be attributed to other entities or shareholders in cases of partial ownership.
