The Ruling Commission announced on their website[1] a new deadline for submitting a prefiling request or a final ruling request (for files without a prefiling) regarding transfer pricing and innovation deduction for the financial year per 31 December 2022.

Prefilings and rulings must be filed at the latest on 30 November 2022 so that a decision can still be delivered before the deadline for filing the corporate income tax return (or non-resident corporate income tax).

 

In order to ensure a smooth processing of such a request for prefiling/ruling, the Ruling Commission asks to receive the documentation as soon as possible, including a description of the company, the activities performed, a justification regarding the requested transaction and a description of the method used with accompanying calculations.

Companies that do not close their accounts by calendar year are requested to submit the prefiling/ruling in a timely manner.  This means that the prefiling/ruling must be filed no later than eight months before the deadline for filing the corporate or non-resident income tax return.

 

Companies which want to have a confirmation that the used transfer pricing model or the innovation deduction for the financial year 2022, are acceptable for the Ruling Commission, need to take immediate action.
