Transfer Pricing: Impact on Trade and Profit Taxation

Vol. 36, Issue No. 20, 19 May, 2001
C Satapathy

It is not enough to adopting laws to regulate transfer pricing for which several models exist. The test in implementing the laws lies in developing practical skills and meeting the resource needs within the administration. The administrative regime for regulating transfer pricing should be specialised but also development friendly. Duties and taxes should not be allowed to be evaded, but at the same time the manner of regulating transfer pricing should not act as a disincentive to the flow of foreign investment.

WTO Panel Rulings on Anti-dumping: I

Vol. 35, Issue No. 48, 25 Nov, 2000
C Satapathy

In a ruling on the US Anti-dumping Act of 1916 the WTO panel and Appellate Body have unequivocally held that the US Act which provides for specific action against dumping in the form of civil and criminal proceedings and penalties is inconsistent with Article VI of GATT, 1994 and the WTO Agreement on Antidumping as well as Article XVI:4 of the WTO Agreement. It remains to be seen how soon the US will repeal its Anti-dumping Act of 1916. The WTO dispute settlement bodies have, however, demonstrated that their jurisdiction is not circumscribed by the limitations sought to be placed by the US.
