New Italian Transfer Pricing Regulations Affect Multinational Enterprises

Volume 8 No 3    /    Read Article

By Marco Valdonio and Mirko Severi (Guest Author)

Italian transfer pricing documentation rules were introduced in 2010. The system affords taxpayers the possibility of penalty protection for transfer pricing adjustments, provided that qualifying transfer pricing documentation is maintained by the taxpayer. Late in 2020, new regulations were introduced. The new regulations contain several important changes for multinational enterprises based in Italy or having an Italian member. Marco Valdonio, a partner of Maisto e Associati, Milan, and Mirko Severi, an associate of Maisto e Associati, Milan, explain the principal revisions to the Italian rules. They address the changes that broaden the scope of companies required to maintain a master file, reductions in the scope of the exception to annual filing for certain local members of a foreign-based multinational group, and changes to the content of both the master file and the local file.  See more →
