Miller Williams, Partner/Principal, of Ernst & Young’s National Transfer Pricing Group will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webcast entitled: “Understanding New IRS Rules That Restrict Profits Sent Overseas”.

(For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2009_understandingIRS.html)
Multinational corporations are subject to transfer pricing regulations under Section 482 of the tax code that are intended to ensure that companies do business with their related foreign entities at “arm’s length,” and that taxes paid in each country are commensurate with the income the company realizes in that jurisdiction. The IRS issued new rules for cost sharing arrangements in December 2008, and companies now are faced with interpreting the new requirements to make sure they are reporting the correct proportion of their profits on their U.S. tax returns. Their decisions are particularly important considering a provision of the new rules that allows the IRS to invalidate a cost sharing arrangement if it doesn’t agree.
The Knowledge Group/Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to help companies understand the new regulations. The speakers will share their expert opinions in a two-hour Live Webcast.
