The OECD has released information on the documentation needed for Multinational Enterprise (MNE) groups looking to apply for a multilateral risk assessment of key international tax risks under the International Compliance Assurance Programme (ICAP). The next three deadlines for MNEs to submit their applications to join ICAP are 30 September 2024, 31 March 2025, and 30 September 2025.
By facilitating discussions between an MNE group and multiple tax administrations, ICAP helps optimise the use of transfer pricing documentation, including the group’s Country-by-Country report, offering a faster, clearer, and more efficient path to enhanced multilateral tax certainty. ICAP aims to reduce the resource burden on both MNEs and tax authorities, resulting in fewer disputes that require resolution through mutual agreement procedures. If further scrutiny is needed, the work carried out within ICAP can streamline compliance actions taken outside the programme, if necessary.
