Question: What are the current tax rules of the Transfer Pricing Documentation revised in 2016?
Answer:
Based on the recommendation of OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting(BEPS) Project, the rule of the Transfer Pricing Documentation was established.
In case that Ulitmate Parent Entity is outside of Japan, all Japanese corporations and foreign corporations with permanent establishments that is a Constituent Entity of a multinational enterprise(MNE) group with a total consolidated revenue of 100 billion yen or more in the preceding fiscal year must submit the following three types of documents to the national tax authorities through the online national tax return filing and tax payment system (e-tax).
(1) Notification for Ultimate Parent Entity
Items to be reported are the information on Ultimate Parent Entity, such as company’s name, address of the head office, and the name of representative.
(2) Country-by-Country Report
Items to be reported are the information on country-by-country operations, including amounts of revenue, profit(loss) before income tax, stated capital, and the number of employees.
The information above will be directly transmitted to Japanese by the tax authorities in which the Ultimate Parent Entity resides if an information exchange system based on the tax treaties is concluded.
(3) Master File
Items to be reported are the information on the entire business operations of the Specified MNE Group, such as organizational structure of the Group, the outline of its business operation and financial condition.
The rule above has been provided by 2016 tax reform and it applies to the documents for the Ulitmate Parent Entitiy’s fiscal year that begins on April 1, 2016 or thereafter.
In addition to the documents above, corporations engaged in below-listed transactions with one foreign-related party must prepare or obtain and store documents considered as necessary to calculate Arm’s Length Prices for the controlled transactions by the deadline for submission of final returns.

or
(2) If the amount of transactions of intangibles during the previous business year is 300 million yen or more
It applies to the documents for the corporation’s fiscal year that begins on April 1, 2017 or thereafter.

移転価格税制に係る文書化制度の改正
Q:移転価格税制の改正が日本でも行われ、文書化が義務づけられたそうですが、概要について教えてください。
A:
OECDのBEPS(税源侵食と利益移転)プロジェクトの最終報告を受けて、平成28年税制改正により移転価格の文書化制度が整備されました。最終親法人が国外にある場合おいて、直前会計事業年度の連結総収入金額が1,000億円以上の多国籍企業グループの構成会社である内国法人又は恒久的施設を有する外国親法人は下記3種類の文書を国税電子申告・納税システム(e-tax)で国税当局に提出しなければならないこととされました。
1.最終親会社等届出事項
最終親会社等の名称、本店所在地等を届出
2.国別報告事項(CBCレポート)
事業が行われる国ごとの損益、資産負債、従業員の数等の情報を報告
ただし、租税条約に基づく情報交換制度がある場合には、最終親会社が所在する国の税務当局より日本の税務当局に提出されます。
3.事業概況報告事項(マスターファイル)
企業グループの組織構造、事業の概要、財務状況
上記は、最終親会社の平成28年(2016年)4月1日以降に開始する事業年度分より適用されています。
また、一の国外関連者取引について①国外関連者取引の合計金額(前事業年度)が50億円以上、又は②無形資産取引の合計金額(前事業年度)が3億円以上である法人は、当該国外関連者取引に係る独立企業間価格を算定するために必要と認められる書類を確定申告書の提出期限までに作成し、保存しなければならないこととされました。
こちらはその法人の平成29年(2017年)4月1日以降に開始する事業年度分より適用されます。
