“Transfer pricing, itself, is more of an art than a science. There's a lot of gray area in many, many aspects of transfer pricing,” says Clark Armitage.
In this episode of the “GILTI Conscience” podcast, Skadden attorneys Nate Carden, David Farhat, Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor, are joined by guest Clark Armitage of Caplin & Drysdale. The group dives into a comprehensive discussion about the intricacies of ICAP, MAP and APA in cross-border transfer pricing issues. They consider the application of each as a tool, debating their benefits and potential drawbacks in aiding taxpayers.
The panel also discusses how a Pillar Two-world could bring additional questions to already complex pricing practices.
