The OECD's new patent box regime: trouble ahead?

May 12, 2016

Patent Box Controversy

The OECD does not appreciate companies taking advantage of low tax rates without supporting IP with economic substance. None-the-less patent boxes are still attracting attention in Europe. Do the new OECD guidelines create an even bigger monster?

Patent Boxes: the tension and the triumphs will be explored at the ITR Global Transfer Pricing Forum Europe 2016, held in Berlin June 29 & 30. Experts will trade opinions on the various options and benefits in Europe, the OECD’s nexus approach and opposition and alternatives. Speakers will include Emmanuel Llinares, Global Head of Transfer Pricing, NERA; Tamara Jones Feddoul, EMEA Transfer Pricing Director, Schneider Electric; Philippe Paumier, Associate Vice President, Global Head of Tax, Sanofi; and Philip de Homont, Principal, NERA.
