The CBDT expects more APAs to be concluded and signed in the near future. The progress of the APA Scheme strengthens the Government\u2019s commitment to foster a non-adversarial tax regime. The approach and functioning of the officers in the APA teams have been appreciated and acknowledged by the industry in India and abroad.<\/p>\n

\nEarlier, the APA Scheme was introduced in the Income-tax Act in 2012 and the Rollback provisions were introduced in 2014. The Scheme endeavours to provide certainty to taxpayers in the domain of transfer pricing by specifying the methods of pricing and determining the arm\u2019s length price of international transactions in advance for a maximum period of five future years. Further, the taxpayer has the option to rollback the APA for four preceding years. Since its inception, the APA scheme has attracted tremendous interest among Multi National Enterprises (MNEs) and more than 700 applications (both unilateral and bilateral) have been filed in just four years.<\/p>\n
