February 16, 2011
On Wednesday, February 23, the conference "Transfer Pricing in Uruguay: Where Are We Headed?" was held at the Pocitos Auditorium, presented by Cra. Marcia Grostein, Coordinator of the International Taxation Commission of the General Tax Directorate (DGI); Nicolás Juan, CPA, partner in charge of the Corporate and Tax Departments at Guyer & Regules; and Felix Abadi, CPA, partner at Rueda, Abadi & Pereira. The event was organized by the School of Graduate and Executive Studies of the Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences.

Transfer pricing refers to the prices agreed upon in cross-border transactions between related companies. A distinctive feature of this type of pricing is that it may not result from market forces at play when independent parties transact, given that such parties have conflicting interests. The speakers will analyze the main issues raised by the new transfer pricing regulations in effect since the Tax Reform.
