Spanish Transfer Pricing Rules Put On Hold

by Ulrika Lomas, for LawAndTax-News.com, Brussels

19 March 2003

The final version of a Spanish Royal Decree, which in draft form imposed new transfer pricing documentation requirements for tax periods beginning on or after 1 January, came into force on 14 March without the new rules.

Governments have long supposed, no doubt correctly in most cases, that multinational organisations exploit pricing between countries in which they operate in order to achieve the most favourable tax result.

It is believed that the Spanish disclosure and documentation provisions were left out to give taxpayers more time to prepare. Furthermore, there may not be legal support for the new rules, as the Corporate Income Tax Law in most cases does not formally require taxpayers to provide written documentation of their transactions with related parties.
