Recently, the CBDT has also modified an existing Bilateral APA with another Indian subsidiary of a Japanese company to include rollback provisions. Thus, total three Bilateral APAs are now signed with Indian subsidiaries of Japanese companies all including rollbacks. The total number of bilateral APAs entered into by the CBDT is now eight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The APA Scheme was introduced in the Income Tax Act in 2012 and the \u201cRollback\u201d provisions were introduced in 2014. Signing of bilateral APA is an important step towards ascertaining certainty in transfer pricing matters of multinational company cases and dispute resolution. Under BAPA, certainty in tax treatment is provided for the next 5 years while rollback provides dispute redressal for a maximum of four past years preceding APA years. A BAPA may be preferred by multinational companies since finalisation of the same involves reaching an understanding between the tax administrations of the two countries and for the transfer pricing adjustment done in the hands of the Indian entity, corresponding adjustment is available in the hands of related foreign entity, thereby relieving economic double taxation. The progress of the APA Scheme strengthens the Government\u2019s mission of fostering a non-adversarial tax regime.\u00a0 The CBDT expects more BAPAs to be concluded and signed in the near future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Ministry of Finance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) entered into a Bilateral Advance Pricing
