CbCR filing & advisory

Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) is part of Action 13 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Group of Twenty (G20) industrialised nations.

Under CbCR, all large multinational enterprises (MNEs) are required to prepare a Country-by-Country (CbC) Report with aggregate data on the global allocation of income, profit, taxes paid and economic activity amongst the various tax jurisdictions in which they operate. As per BEPS Guidance, it is recommended that the MNE Groups be compelled to comply with CbCR when the group consolidated turnover exceeds the OECD threshold under the respective country’s local CbCR Regulations.

While CbCR has enabled tax authorities to better assess transfer pricing risks, it has imposed new compliance burdens on large MNE groups.
