Issues of Transfer Pricing
Radikovská, Daniela ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Pavlína (referee)
ISSUES OF TRANSFER PRICING Transfer pricing has been often-discussed topic in recent years which is unlikely to change in the upcoming years. Given the great importance of transfer pricing in international tax planning, as well as in so called aggressive tax planning, it is a priority for states to set transfer pricing rules based on the arm's length principle in such a way that untaxed profits are not transferred from the jurisdictions where it was generated. Although this is a tax issue concerning the direct taxation, it shall be regulated at least in a coordinated manner by most countries in the world, as the international overlap is the greatest danger to state treasuries. From the perspective of taxpayers, it is often very difficult to meet all obligations regarding the setting of transfer pricing pursuant the arm's length principle, but it can be pointed out that a sufficiently clearly specified rules may be in favor of the taxpayers, because unjustified price manipulation between the related parties may cause some distortion of the functioning of the market. The main purpose of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of transfer pricing issues from the perspective of Czech legislation, especially the Income Tax Act and instructions issued by the Ministry of Finance and the...

Zedníková, Kateřina ; Boháč, Radim (advisor) ; Sejkora, Tomáš (referee)
The analysis of the legal regulation of transfer pricing in connection with the implementation of ATAD Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the topic of legal regulation of transfer prices. Considering the gradual globalization and the increasing number of multinational enterprises, transfer pricing is a very extensively discussed tax-related topic. It has become even more topical with the implementation of a new Council Directive (EU) 2016/1164 of 12 July 2016 laying down rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market. Transposition period for the majority of regulations presented in the directive is scheduled to 31 December 2018. The aim of the present thesis is to characterize the current state of legal regulations of transfer pricing in the Czech Republic as well as related supranational regulations. Within the context of the former and the latter, the thesis analyzes the options of the implementation of the Council Directive (EU) 2016/1164 of 12 July 2016 laying down rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market. Also, the thesis delineates and describes the approach of the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, including an assumed financial impact of the implementation of individual...

Nekovář, Jiří ; Karfíková, Marie (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee) ; Bělohlávek, Alexander (referee)
/ Résumé / Zusammenfassung Transfer pricing is currently a very relevant topic. Tax administrations are focusing on unveiling and penalizing tax evasion and in author's opinion also on prevention and reduction of tax optimization using intragroup transactions with price designed to minimize taxation. The volume of tax base and tax adjustments by tax administrations multiplied in recent years without significant changes in relevant legislation and that raises a question whether this change is not contrary to the principle of legality use of powers conferred by public law. This thesis analyzes reasons for these changes, which are connected to significant increase in number of group cross border transactions. In European context the increase is partially result of intensive economic integration of member states. Second important aspect leading to the relevance of this topic is the intensity public perception of this issue which to large extent eliminates the difference between tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion. The thesis generally focuses on transfer pricing in European context created by the activities of OECD reflected by EU legislation. The analysis shows that the OECD document on the issue are very beneficial instruments and their use is in many cases unified by the EU, which analyzes the...

Issues of transfer pricing
Drobová, Barbora ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Vondráčková, Pavlína (referee)
ISSUES OF TRANSFER PRICING Transfer pricing is a very discussed topic of recent years, both by tax subjects, tax advisors as well as by tax administrations. This is due to activities of OECD and the European Union in this area, as well as due to increase in number of tax audits focusing on transfer pricing. The key documents are rules issued by OECD in the form of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations, which is being constantly revised and supplemented, the latest revision being issued in 2017. In the narrower terms, transfer pricing may be defined as prices for transactions between connected (related) parties. In broad terms, transfer pricing may be defined as any and all transactions between connected (related) parties including in particular transfer of goods, providing of services, transfer and other transactions concerning intangibles, cost contribution arrangements and business restructurings, as well as related tax administrations procedures when deciding on tax duty in connection with the transactions performed between the related parties and the transfer pricing documentation. In the first and second part of this thesis I am outlining the historical progress in activities of OECD in the area of transfer pricing since the first report issued...

The problematics of transfer pricing in Czech and International tax law
Valeš, Ondřej ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
The problematics of transfer pricing in Czech and International tax law Constant globalization leads to the boom of business and property-related companies, which we call multinational. Multinational companies carry out so-called intra-company transactions within their group of companies under different conditions than they would in normal business. We call these transactions dependent, because they are carried out between affiliates, in an environment that is not competitive but related. Transfer pricing issues are usually associated with tax optimization because, with the help of these transactions, multinationals are able to achieve a lower tax burden. Aggressive tax optimization prevents proper transfer pricing for intra-company transactions. Transfer pricing of intra-company transactions is set up properly if they are in line with the arm length's principle, which in its own way attempts to simulate a competitive environment. The aim of this work is to outline the regulation of transfer pricing in Czech and International tax law and to analyse the problems of the regulation. In Czech law, the transfer pricing is mainly regulated in the Income Tax Act and in the non-binding instructions of the Ministry of Finance, which rely heavily on international regulation. At international level, the...
