Tax and accounting specialists who want to gain a better understanding of the tax effects of financial transactions from a transfer pricing and income tax perspective.

How will the BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) Action Plan change the view on transfer pricing for financial transactions?
In our experience, how do tax administrators approach financial transactions?
Interest rates, loans and credits: how to set interest rates, what influences them the most and what sources of information should be used?
What is an entity´s credit rating and how does it influence the setting of interest rates?
Interest-free loans: the tax authorities´ approach prior to 1 January 2014 and now.
Cash pooling: when to agree to it, how to set it up, how to set interest rates. What are its pitfalls?
Warranties: what different types are there and is it necessary to pay for the provision or receipt of a warranty?
What further effects do financial transactions have on income taxes? Thin capitalisation, application of withholding tax.
Actual examples from our practice.

After completion of the course, you will be able to:
