Richard Cutcher of Captive Review reported in the latest edition that EY is building a working group to lobby the OECD and ensure those writing the upcoming transfer pricing paper are fully educated on what captive insurance companies are about.
“And for this EY should be commended, as the captive industry needs a coordinated response.
A number of captive and risk management associations, as well as industry players have undertaken their own lobbying of the OECD and European Commission (which is embarking on its own new tax collection crackdown), but this has been on a limited basis and to date the industry response has been uncoordinated.
“Compared to the European Union domiciles, some offshore jurisdictions are more parochial and stick to the status quo so they tend to want to stay out of these forward looking issues. I would have thought it would be the offshore locations that will be the biggest target of OECD driven measures????.”
