Canadian Transfer Pricing, 2nd Edition

Canadian Transfer Pricing describes and clarifies Canada's current transfer pricing rules. It sets out the methods used by the CRA and described in the OECD Guidelines for determination of an arm's length price for goods and services.



Due to the large dollar amounts involved in transfer pricing disputes, the importance of transfer pricing to the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") continues to evolve into a prominent component of tax collection and enforcement in Canada. Tax practitioners and company executives need to be aware of the procedures and documentation requirements in order to remain compliant with the transfer pricing rules and to be better prepared in the face of an audit by the CRA. This is also true for companies intending to establish an APA or resolve disputes with the revenue authorities in Canada and overseas with respect to transfer pricing transactions.

Authored by Jules Lewy, BCL, LLB and members of the tax group of one of Canada’s largest and most respected law firms, DentonsCanadian Transfer Pricing provides a comprehensive overview of the Canadian transfer pricing regime.  This essential edition includes discussion on the OECD’s involvement in the area of transfer pricing tax policy as well as a brief overview of the U.S. transfer pricing legislation.



Chapters Include:

  • What is Transfer Pricing?
  • Transfer Pricing Rules Prior to 1999
  • Canada’s Current Transfer Pricing Rules
  • Transfer Pricing and Intra Group Services
  • Transfer Pricing and Restructuring
  • Contemporaneous Documentation and Transfer Pricing Penalties
  • Advance Pricing Agreements
  • Transfer Pricing Audit Process
  • Transfer Pricing Dispute Resolution
  • Competent Authority
  • Jurisprudence
  • Transfer Pricing and Customs, GST and HST.

U.S. Master Depreciation Guide (2011

Available: December 2010

Old depreciation systems do not die - or even fade away very fast. Businesses and the practitioners that serve them must operate with three coexisting depreciation systems -Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the Treasury Department's Asset Depreciation System (ADR).CCH's U.S.

Master Depreciation Guide offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures, IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and include some materials which may be non-applicable. This book pulls the pieces together, so practitioners can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the information into practice.

The U.S. Master Depreciation Guide includes several useful "quick reference tables." These include a list of trucks, SUVs, and vans that are exempt from the luxury car caps because they weigh more than 6,000 pounds, trucks with a bed-length under six feet which are subject to a $25,000 section 179 depreciation cap, a list of states that conform to the federal bonus depreciation and section 179 expensing rules, and a comprehensive table of assets and corresponding recovery periods with cross references to the location of the related U.S. Master Depreciation Guide explanation.

Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which they are reflected.

CONTENTS:

  • Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals.
  • Coverage of :
    1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986;
    2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
    3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
    4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to 1971;

The Practice of Mediation: A Video Integrated Text, 2nd Edition

Published: June 2012


This widely-adopted mediation text was the first to combine in-depth textual analysis of the mediation process with video case studies illustrating the stages of the mediation process and the many constituent skills of effective mediators. The Practice of Mediation, Second Edition expands that video content and makes it available to students online or in a seamless e-book format, with a simple click of an icon. The book has quickly become the text of choice in mediation clinics and mediation simulation courses.

Features of the second edition:

  • All original text, written in an accessible and conversational style. Used by many first-time mediation instructors as well as by highly experienced teachers and trainers.
  • Provides students with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the negotiation process and the cognitive, psychological and strategic barriers to conflict resolution.
  • Teaches about the mediation process “from the inside out,” breaking down the skills of effective mediation into their component parts.
  • Closely analyzes the major ethical and role issues that mediators encounter “on the ground.” Includes a video-driven chapter on representation of clients in mediation.
  • Recognizes and prepares students for all of the major approaches to mediation.
  • Contains seven hours of video, depicting nine professional mediators, with different backgrounds and orientations, mediating three different cases, often with very different results.
  • The video extracts are fully integrated with the text, enabling students to “see” what they are reading about as they read it, and enabling instructors to save precious classroom time by assigning video extracts to be viewed and analyzed outside of class.
  • The three video case studies are all based on real mediated disputes.
  • In these unscripted mediations, the mediators and lawyers perform as they would in an actual case. Professional actors portray the role of the disputants in an extremely realistic and believable fashion. In addition to illustrating a very wide range of mediator techniques, the video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter.
  • The Teacher's Manual includes detailed, flexible chapter-by-chapter teaching notes; a wide variety of simulations and mini-role-plays from which to choose (many with instructor debriefing notes); sample syllabi and suggestions for how the book can be used in a variety ofcourse configurations; transcripts of the video extracts that instructors can assign to students for further “micro-analysis,” plus author commentary; andassorted additional course information material and handouts.
