The fact that international conditions get the most attention, can probably be linked to how the OECD countries have introduced and are introducing a number of new rules that makes it necessary to review existing structures, intra-group agreements, reporting routines and internal pricing reports. Corporations that do not comply with the regulations in all countries where they operate, may leave key figures to be determined by the discretion of local tax authorities. This increases the risk of incurring additional tax bills, and in some cases even forfeiture of the right to complain.
