The OECD’s and European Commission’s statistics for 2022 reveal important insights into the functioning of mutual agreement proceedings and a constant inventory of over 6,000 cases.

In controlled foreign corporation rules, the adoption of the term “participation” both in the definition of control and in the ratable income inclusion rule may cause double taxation. The author considers these rules, and suggests a narrow interpretation of the term “participation” used in the ratable income inclusion rule as “entitlement to profits”.

Profit shifting appears to be driven by underpriced group intangible sales to low-taxed affiliates derived from valuations resulting from income allocation methods. The enforcement of the periodic adjustment of the intangible price cannot definitively avoid this problem, but could (partly) avoid sales in breach of the arm’s length principle.

This article contrasts lithium royalty systems in Western Australia (WA) and Quebec, emphasizing royalty taxation as a significant cost. It contrasts Quebec’s efficient, long-term economic approach against WA’s less competitive regime, mitigated by high lithium demand. The article suggests that Quebec’s model is a viable blueprint for sustainable royalty taxation.
