Third in a series of webinars from our member in Russia - Mr. Andreas Bitzi.

3.  Oct 14 - Transfer pricing in Russia - overview/experience, transfer pricing - court practice

For some years, Russian has gathered experience with transfer pricing practice, moving from a simple +/-20% system to international principles of transfer pricing. Russia has joined BEPS initiatives and automatic international exchange of information. In practice, there are certain issues with the set-up of meaningful transfer pricing documentations and some court practice is available by now.

This short webinar will give you a short introduction of transfer pricing notifications, documentations, CbC and some court practice in the  area.
