“Transfer pricing, itself, is more of an art than a science. There's a lot of gray area in many, many aspects of transfer pricing,” says Clark Armitage.

In this episode of the “GILTI Conscience” podcast, Skadden attorneys Nate Carden, David Farhat, Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor, are joined by guest Clark Armitage of Caplin & Drysdale. The group dives into a comprehensive discussion about the intricacies of ICAP, MAP and APA in cross-border transfer pricing issues. They consider the application of each as a tool, debating their benefits and potential drawbacks in aiding taxpayers.

The panel also discusses how a Pillar Two-world could bring additional questions to already complex pricing practices.

💡 Featured Guests 💡

Name: J. Clark Armitage

What he does: Clark Armitage is a member at Caplin & Drysdale with vast experience in international tax lawyer with a focus on transfer pricing.

Mr. Armitage's core practice is advising multinational corporations from a wide range of industries on transfer pricing matters, including planning, audits and appeals, advance pricing agreements (APAs) and mutual agreement procedures (MAPs). He has a particularly strong background in APAs, having served eight years in the IRS Advance Pricing Agreement Program, including as deputy director from 2008-10.

Mr. Armitage also advises clients on other U.S. international tax issues. He is well versed with issues arising under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including GILTI, FDII, BEAT and foreign tax credit basketing. He represents clients with residency issues before the IRS Treaty Assistance and Interpretation Team (TAIT), helps clients navigate the U.S. federal income tax implications of bona fide Puerto Rican residency and status under Puerto Rico Act 20, Act 22, Act 60 and Act 73, and advises on permanent establishment and similar exposures.

Organization: Caplin & Drysdale

Words of wisdom: “The MAP process is based on bilateral treaties, for the most part bilateral, between two countries that allow for two competent authorities to come together to resolve a transfer pricing dispute.”
