In
actuality, there are four economies, each, as the mathematicians
would say, a "partially dependent variable"
-interdependent but not controlled by each other. First,
there is the economy of the nation; increasingly, however,
power is shifting to the region -North America expanding
to the Americas Area, the enlarging European Union,
and the Far East Region grouped around Japan and the
growing China; there is also an almost autonomous world
economy of money, credit and investment flows; finally,
there is the economy of the transnational enterprise,
which views the world as one market.
In the real economy, the transnational enterprise
interacts with the other three economies and the single
market approach is sabotaged by the macroeconomic
policies of sovereign nation-states and its internal
subdivisions. Among these policies, transfer pricing
has become a major issue of concern for the transnational
enterprise.
The likelihood of double taxation, interest and penalties,
and other unpleasant surprises such as secondary adjustments,
is increasing as revenue authorities in Argentina
and around the world are growing in the number of
inspectors and their training and expertise in international
tax matters.
Multinationals willing to minimize the possibilities
of a tax, customs or transfer pricing dispute or to
be successful towards a current or potential challenge
will have to adopt a strategic approach to the international
tax planning, documentation and controversy process.
