Advisers and taxpayers have voiced their concerns about the questions which still remain unanswered in the BEPS disclosure documents at TPWeek and International Tax Review’s 14th Global Transfer Pricing Forum in Washington, DC.
Will Morris, chairman of the BIAC Tax and Fiscal Affairs Committee and global tax policy adviser for GE, has spoken exclusively to TPWeek about his views regarding the BEPS disclosure documents released on September 16.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has announced new measures to dissuade taxpayers from using avoidance schemes which involve the transfer of corporate profits. Taxpayers will need to familiarise themselves with the new measures and review their company’s arrangements to ensure they are not caught out.
