A multilateral technical exchange event on transfer pricing and other related international tax aspects was held at the Federal Administration of Public Revenue of Argentina’s offices (AFIP), on November27 to 29, 2012.

As a result of the existing collaboration between GIZ of Germany, AFIP of Argentina and CIAT, a technical exchange was held in the City of Buenos Aires, which main purpose was to share with Latin American countries the experience that AFIP has capitalized throughout the years.

This technical collaboration was directed to six tax administrations of countries which are currently in the process of building or strengthening their capacities to control abusive transfer pricing manipulation: Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay and Uruguay.

At the working sessions, coordinated by the AFIP International Taxation Director, Ms. Diana Guterman, were discussed key issues for the participating tax administrations, such as the method on the sixth paragraph article of the Argentinian Corporate Profit Tax Law regulating transfer pricing, collection, internal use of information, international tax information exchange, risk identification, phases of the audit process, and intra-group services, among others.

As a result of the exchange, the importance of this type of assistance for the tax administrations was highlighted, as well as the need for further progress in technical exchanges on specific and priority issues.
