      Tax Controversy Compass is a webinar series by KPMG in Singapore for multinational enterprises with cross-border operations, bringing together relevant KPMG experts to deliver jurisdiction specific perspectives on emerging tax risks and dispute trends in a fast-evolving tax controversy landscape.

      Join us for the sixth and final episode as we explore how Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAPs) and Advance Pricing Arrangements (APAs) can be used to manage and prevent tax controversy. With cross-border arrangements facing greater scrutiny, MAPs can support the resolution of existing disputes, while APAs can help provide greater certainty and reduce the likelihood of future controversy. Our speakers will share practical perspectives on using these mechanisms, navigating the application process, and determining which approach may be appropriate for your organisation.

      What we’ll cover:

      • Applying the mechanisms in practice: How MAPs and APAs can help manage existing disputes, mitigate double taxation and reduce the likelihood of future controversy.
      • Lessons from practical experience: Common issues and challenges that may arise, together with considerations for navigating them.
      • Navigating the application process: Engaging with competent authorities, preparing the required information and documentation, managing timelines and responding to developments.
      • Choosing an appropriate strategy: Determining which approach may be most suitable, considering commercial, operational and strategic factors.

      Who should attend
      Tax, finance and transfer pricing leaders from multinational enterprises with global or regional headquarters in Asia Pacific who are seeking practical perspectives on managing cross-border tax controversy and navigating the relevant application processes.
