Australia: Australian tax administration’s transfer pricing performance assessed
On April 17, the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) released an audit report to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) on the ATO’s use of transfer pricing mechanisms in relation to Australian companies’ foreign related party debts.
The purpose of the audit report was to provide assurance to Parliament that the ATO is managing its approach to foreign related party debts effectively, using sound strategies and processes, as this has been identified as a key risk due to the significant increase in interest expense incurred by Australia’s major companies with foreign affiliates.

Czech Republic: tax authorities increase transfer pricing audits
According to a press release issued by the Czech tax authorities, in recent years the tax administration has increased transfer pricing audits, from 249 investigations in 2020 to 570 in 2023, resulting in an increase in the tax base and a reduction of tax losses.
The audits have focused on reviewing the resale operations of advertising services and the licensing of the use of intangible assets. The tax authorities note that there has been an increase in cases where intangible assets, are transferred between related parties to shift profits out of the Czech Republic, selling these assets abroad at minimal price or even giving them for free, and then charging substantial licensing fees for their use to the original Czech owner.
