What to Expect
- OECD BEPS and the IP management perspective
- Translating tax concepts into IP management practice
- IP ownership, licensing and international business arrangements
- Documentation, data and audit readiness
- Current international developments and high-risk areas
- Applying the framework in practice
Who Should Attend
Do you work as an IP or R&D professional in a company group with IP transactions or do you consult such companies? And are you interested in gaining knowledge on OECD BEPS and know how to deal with the compliance from an IP management perspective?
Then this course is for you. No prior tax expertise is required.
Objective of the Event
Cross-border intangible transactions attract tax scrutiny. This course examines OECD/G20 BEPS and the Two Pillars from an IP management perspective, focusing on value creation, transfer pricing, transparency and why legal ownership alone may not determine IP returns.
Participants will identify intangibles, distinguish legal ownership from economic contributions and exploitation rights, and apply DEMPE to map functions, risks and evidence of control.
The course addresses IP, licensing and R&D arrangements, documentation, audit readiness, hard-to-value intangibles and software, data and AI-related IP, with practical actions across IP, R&D, Legal, Finance and Tax.
Your Benefit
- You will have a better understanding of the complex issue of tax and IP
- You will be able to better collaborate with your tax colleagues
- You will know how to implement tax issues with regards to IP compliance
