4月7日,在纽约举行的联合国经济和社会理事会国际税务合作特别会议上,2017年版《转让定价手册》被正式发布。
新版本的《转让定价手册》采用了新的格式,为了更清楚明白且易于理解,新手册被划分为四个部分。A部分,涉及全球背景下的转让定价;B部分,载有对于设计原理和政策考虑的指导意见,包括对于转让定价分析中的重要原则-公平交易原则的指导意见;C部分,强调了转让定价机制在发展中国家的实际执行问题;D部分,涉及各国实践。
本次《转让定价手册》的修订内容,包括新增了有关集团内劳务、成本分摊安排和无形资产处理的章节,以及其他章节的重要更新内容。手册纸质本将于10月中旬发行。
新版《转让定价手册》也参考了税基侵蚀和利润转移项目的研究结果,修订了文档、可比性分析的相关指引,并在"方法"一章中,针对发展中国家实践中商品交易所谓的"第六种方法",新增了一节。
联合国经济和社会事务部指出,最新的《转让定价手册》,“对于希望通过、执行或进一步改进其转让定价条例的发展中国家来说具有极其重要的意义。”

UN Updates Transfer Pricing Practice Manual
The United Nations Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters has released, in digital format, the second edition of the UN Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries.
The 2017 edition of the TP Manual was launched at the UN Economic and Social Council Special Meeting on International Cooperation in Tax Matters, which was held in New York on April 7.
The updated version of the TP Manual has adopted a new format, and is divided into 4 parts for better clarity and ease of understanding. Part A relates to transfer pricing in a global environment; Part B contains guidance on design principles and policy considerations, including guidance on the arm's length principle central to transfer pricing analysis; Part C addresses practical implementation of a transfer pricing regime in developing countries; and Part D contains country practices.
The revised TP Manual includes new chapters on intra-group services, cost contribution arrangements, and on the treatment of intangibles. It includes significant updates to other chapters. The hard copy is to be released in mid October.
The latest TP Manual takes into consideration the outputs of the base erosion and profit shifting project, including providing revised guidance on documentation, comparability analysis, and bringing in an additional section on commodity transactions in the "Methods" chapter, also known as "the sixth method," drawn from developing country practice.
The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs noted that the updated TP Manual "will be of invaluable importance for developing countries wishing to adopt, implement, or further improve their transfer pricing regulations."
