3 OECD Draft Main Aspects Simplified TP approach for low-value intragroup services Key features of the proposed guidance: A standard definition Clarifications on shareholder activities and duplication Appropriate mark-ups Appropriate cost allocation methodologies Simplified benefit test Guidance on documentation Discussion draft is not a consensus document 3
4 Headquarter OECD Draft Thought Process Shareholders activities Non chargeable costs Duplicative Grey Area Incidental benefits Total costs Has a service been rendered?

Simplified determination of arm s length charges Cost base Mark-Up Allocation Key Benchmark needed usually CUP, COST + or ROTC Documentation and reporting 4
5 OECD Draft 5 Step Approach 1. Have intra-group services been rendered (benefits test)? 2. Are the intra-group services performed low valueadding? 3. Have the low value-adding services identified been directly or indirectly rendered? 4. Application of the simplified determination of arm s length charges 5. Documentation and reporting 5
6 Benefits Test General «depend on whether the activity provides a respective group member with economic or commercial value to enhance or maintain its commercial position». Proposed guidance unchanged but simplified test for low value-value adding services Not considered as intra-group services: Shareholders activities Duplication Incidental benefits 6
7 Benefits Test Shareholders Activities Examples (proposed additions) are costs relating to: the juridical structure of the parent company itself (expanded) reporting requirements of the parent company (expanded) raising funds for acquisitions and investor relations (new) tax compliance of the parent company (new) the corporate governance of the MNE as a whole (new) Safeguard clause Developing countries view? 7
8 Benefits Test Duplication Proposed addition: «Examination of information provided by the taxpayer may determine that the intra-group services are different, additional, or complementary to the activities performed in-house. The benefits test would then apply to those non-duplicative elements of the intra-group services». Developing countries view? 8
9 Benefits Test Incidental Benefits Generally no changes See revised Chapter 1 of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines on synergies 9
10 Benefits Test Form of the Remuneration Remuneration already incorporated in the transfer price for another service or product On call services 10
11 Determining an Arm s Length Charge Proposed guidance largely unchanged Direct / in-direct charges Comparability adjustments to cost base Pass-through costs Cost sharing arrangements View of other countries? 11
12 Examples of Intra-Group Services R&D Facts and circumstances: can involve highly skilled personnel vary considerably both in its nature and in its importance to the success of the group +/- discretion to work within broadly defined categories identifying commercially valuable areas and assessing the risk of unsuccessful research can be a critical factor in the performance of the group as a whole consideration of options realistically available to the principal relevant Amended guidance to better align with new Chapter VI. 12

14 Low-Value Intra-group Services Definition «services performed by one member or more than one member of an MNE group on behalf of one or more other group members which are of a supportive nature, are not part of the core business of the MNE group, do not require the use of unique and valuable intangibles and do not lead to the creation of one, and do not involve the assumption or control of substantial risk and do not give rise to the creation of a significant risk». 14
15 Low-Value Intra-group Services Black & White List Not low-value services Black List Services also rendered to unrelated customers of the members of the MNE => internal CUPs. Services constituting the core business of the MNE R&D Manufacturing and production Sales, marketing and distribution Financial transactions Extraction, exploration, or processing of natural resources Insurance and reinsurance Likely low-value services White List Accounting and auditing Processing and management of accounts receivable and accounts payable HR activities Monitoring and compilation of data relating to health, safety, environmental and other standards regulating the business IT services Internal and external communications and PR support Legal and tax Other services of an administrative nature Services of corporate senior management 15
