14 14 Joint Audit – Definition Joint Audit is where: Two or more countries Join together to form a single team to Examine issue(s) or transaction(s) Of one or more related taxable persons With cross-border business activities.

15 15 Joint Audit – Definition Taxpayer jointly makes presentations and shares information with the countries The joint audit team will include Competent Authority representatives, joint audit team leaders and examiners from each country.

16 Joint Audit Process Benefit taxpayers by reducing time and cost to address multiple audits with common factual issues Fully coordinated audit from start to finish for all compliance activities Allows for acceleration of the Mutual Agreement procedure by early involvement of the Competent Authority where double taxation involved.

17 Joint Audit Process Important to keep open channels of communication with the taxpayer throughout the joint audit process. Cooperation of taxpayer and their advisors will be a key factor in securing a satisfactory outcome. Best if examination years/cycles and processes of countries are the same.

18 Joint Audit Benefits Development of enhanced relationships between revenue bodies and taxpayers Providing certainty for taxpayers Reduction in compliance costs for taxpayer More effective management of tax issues in real time
