This special report provides an analysis of how the BRICS intend to cooperate and what it will mean for your company and the way it operates in these countries. We have also included a number of recent articles about developments including India's GAAR, upcoming tax circulars in China; tax-exempt dividends in South Africa, controlled transactions in Russia and tax incentives connected to the Olympics in Brazil. We have also provided an overview of transfer pricing practice in the BRICS.
