Upcoming Free Webinar on Transfer Pricing

On November 6, 2025, Tsuji & Hongo Tax Corporation, led by Director Koeko Kuaki, is hosting an insightful online seminar titled "Understanding Transfer Pricing for Intercompany Service Provisioning (IGS) - 6th Edition." This event aims to shed light on a crucial yet often overlooked area in international taxation.

The sixth edition of the seminar will delve into Intercompany Service Provisioning (IGS), a topic frequently hidden behind inventory transactions and intangible asset trades. As companies navigate the complexities of international transactions, understanding IGS is essential to avoid potential tax issues. The seminar will highlight that if companies do not adequately prepare for transfer pricing audits concerning IGS, they could face scrutiny extending back up to seven years. This poses significant financial risks, making it vital for businesses to manage international tax risks effectively.

Seminar Overview

The webinar will commence with an introduction to the concept of IGS, clearly distinguishing between transactions that fall under IGS and those that do not. A core focus will be on correctly determining the appropriate valuation of IGS, which is crucial for ensuring compliance and minimizing tax liabilities. Participants will receive practical insights into what preparations and actions are necessary to mitigate taxation risks associated with IGS.

Key Topics to be Covered:

1. Overview of Intercompany Service Provisioning (IGS)
2. Taxable IGS Transactions
3. Exclusions from IGS Transactions
4. Compensation for Low-Value IGS
5. Strategies to Dismiss Taxation on IGS

Additionally, attendees will be required to watch a pre-recorded video summarizing the key points of the seminar, which lasts approximately 30 minutes. Upon registration, participants will receive an email outlining the viewing instructions and details about the seminar.
