Value Chain Analysis (VCA) was incorporated into the regulations following the OECD/G20 BEPS initiative (BEPS Actions 8 – 10), and subsequently, embedded in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines 2017.
The importance of VCA in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, 2017, is revealed in their collective title: “Aligning Transfer Pricing Outcomes with Value Creation”.
In combination, the changes reflected in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidance, 2017, should essentially result in aligning transfer pricing outcomes with the value creating activities performed by members of an MNE group, by taking an holistic economic view on these activities.
A combined qualitative and quantitative VCA constitutes an important tool can provide such an holistic economic view on the activities of the MNE group.
