This BEPS compliance course is designed to help attendees appreciate the possible impact on their clients or employers of UK legislation to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) actions on base erosion and profit shifting.

BEPS and Transfer pricing adjustments and thin capitalisation have been part of UK law for some time now, but other changes such as the UK BEPS implementation of a digital services tax base erosion and profit shifting are much more recent.

It is important to appreciate the potential OECD digital tax implications of transactions that the business enters into, especially where there may be reporting requirements that may not be immediately obvious.

By attending this BEPS compliance course, you will become sensitive to any BEPS issues with transactions your company or clients undertake to ensure they are compliant with the tax law at all times.
