Italy Publishes Updated 2020 Transfer Pricing Documentation Guidance

On November 23 2020, the Italian Revenue Agency published a provision by which it amended the Italian regulation on transfer pricing documentation, making it more compliant with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
The new measures replace those of the provision of September 29 2010 and are applicable from the 2020 tax period. The preparation of transfer pricing documentation remains optional for Italian companies. In the case of the predisposition of suitable documentation, companies can benefit from the so-called penalty protection in case of transfer pricing adjustments by the Italian tax administration.
