As global tax reform reshapes the way multinationals manage cross-border transactions, Operational Transfer Pricing (OTP) is rapidly becoming a business-critical priority, especially in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

The OECD has published updated transfer pricing country profiles reflecting the current transfer pricing legislations and practices of 11 jurisdictions and issued for the first time the profiles of Azerbaijan and Pakistan. These latest country profiles present country-specific information on the transfer pricing treatment of hard-to-value intangibles and the simplified and streamlined approach for baseline marketing and distribution activities.
