Covid-19 & Transfer Pricing

Starting in April 2020, Mazars experts began providing their recommendations on an evolved application of the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines to fit the new global context. This exercise was essential in order to help multinationals during this period of uncertainty. Mazars’ publications have enabled stakeholders to understand the main issues at large in the absence of updated OECD guidance.

In December 2020, the OECD launched a report that took a new position on transfer pricing implications in the context of the global pandemic, reinforcing the historical approach of our experts.
