Description

Paul Sutton and Paul O’Regan discuss LCN Legal’s 5-step process for creating and implementing ICAs. This has been developed over many years, and is designed to ensure that in a tax audit, the group's ICAs will support its TP position.


Paul Sutton explains the firm’s 5-step process for creating and implementing effective ICAs. In the course of explaining each stage in detail, he highlights the importance of:

 

  • Ensuring that ICAs have legal substance, and integrating the legal considerations from the outset


  • Understanding the precise nature of the key transactions, and establishing the ‘legal anchor points’


  • Working effectively with the wider team of TP professionals


  • Drafting that is brief and clear, using plain language


  • Identifying and taking on board the needs of other stakeholders


  • Localising agreements to reflect the needs of different countries and entities


  • Ensuring that directors have all the information they need to carry out their responsibilities


  • Creating – and maintaining – a central online archive of agreements.
