Role of Global Value Chain (GVC) post covid19 era

GVCs play a vital role for those corporations that have a presence in multiple countries. The significance of the Global Value Chain is rising; especially in the post covid19 era. On the one hand, tight integration of the supply chain management strengthens the company's operations, on the other hand, companies mainly focus on reducing operational costs in order to compete in international markets. GVCs allow multinational corporations to reduce these operational costs significantly. Global Value Chains are mainly backed by technologies, which lead to minimizing errors and maximum output. It is a humongous task to coordinate between manufacturing units, shipping companies, and logistic operators. But the rise of sophisticated GVCs may substantially reduce these efforts.

Drafting Transfer Pricing Legislation: Taxes Covered

Depending on the design of a country’s tax system, application of the arm’s-length principle may be relevant in determining the taxable objects for one or more direct taxes (income tax, corporate tax, profits tax, etc.). Generally, most countries’ transfer pricing legislation has broad application across direct taxes. One notable exception being Ireland, where the transfer pricing legislation introduced in 2010 applies only to certain classes of income for direct tax purposes.  Countries with other specific types of direct taxes governing specific sectors or transactions types (such as a mining income tax) may need to consider application of transfer pricing legislation to them. Typically, this would be achieved through separate provisions being inserted in the relevant taxing acts. However, where a consolidated tax code has been adopted, a single set of legislation may be possible. Transfer pricing provisions may also be necessary for other types of taxes such as a resources royal...
