In order to facilitate reduced tax litigation to the taxpayers, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has signed seven more unilateral advance pricing agreements (APAs) with taxpayers as it aims to reduce tax litigation by providing certainty in the domain of transfer pricing. In the current financial year, a total of 13 unilateral APAs have been entered into so far. Till date, CBDT has entered into 77 APAs, these includes 3 bilateral APAs and 74 unilateral APAs.

The seven APAs signed with taxpayers pertain to various sectors of the economy like banking, Information Technology and Automotives. Further, the international transactions covered in these agreements include various services like software development services, IT enabled services (BPOs), engineering design services and administrative and business support services.

APA’s introduced in the Income Tax Act in 2012, is an agreement between a taxpayer and the tax department on a transfer pricing procedure for determining the value of assets and ensuing taxes on intra-group overseas transactions. This scheme attempts to provide certainty to taxpayers in the domain of transfer pricing by specifying the methods of pricing and setting the prices of international transactions in advance, while the progress of the APA Scheme strengthens the government’s mission of fostering a non-adversarial tax regime.
