Italy issues draft tax regulations on arm’s length standard, corresponding adjustments

By Davide Anghileri, University of Lausanne

Italy’s Ministry of Economy and Finance on February 21 released for public consultation draft regulations designed to align Italy’s transfer pricing rules with the outcome of Actions 8–10 of the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project. Comments and proposals should be sent until 21 March.

The draft regulations provide guidance on the arm’s length principle based on the international best practices, implementing article 110(7) of the corporate tax act.

A second document contains draft procedures for obtaining corresponding adjustments in favour of taxpayers after a transfer pricing adjustment is undertaken by a tax administration of another State.

The Italian government also released a translation of key sections of the OECD transfer pricing guidelines.
