In view of the current tensions in the global economy and concerns about over-dependence on China, many companies around the world are looking for alternative business locations and trading partners. For the German economy, which enjoys strong international links, India is increasingly coming into focus. India overtook the UK to become the world’s fifth-largest economy in 2022, and is regarded as one of the most promising future markets since many years.

However, companies that have already been operating in India are aware of the obstacles and pitfalls connected to a local investment. The implementation of industry measures and structures that are usual in many other jurisdictions is connected to specific challenges in India, e.g. from a tax and foreign trade law perspective.

At our webinar will use case studies to examine a number of transfer pricing aspects.
The topics will include:

  • Unilateral/bilateral APAs, safe harbors and other rulings – How can transfer pricing certainty in India be achieved? What are the processes behind the options available, and what is the likelihood of being able to use these options?
  • Contract manufacturing, limited risk distributors and the rest – What structures are used to implement typical service providers in India?
  • Contract R&D and intangibles – What do companies need to bear in mind when DEMPE functions are assumed by contract R&D centers in India? What are the consequences for transfer pricing?
  • Intragroup financing – Where are the stumbling blocks?

The webinar will be held in English.
