WHAT IS THE LARGE BUSINESS AND INTERNATIONALDIVISION?
A description of the business units can be found at: https://www.jobs.irs.gov/about/who/business-divisions
The Transfer Pricing Practice (TPP) is part of Treaty and Transfer Pricing Operations (TTPO) in the Large Business & International (LB&I) division of the IRS. Transfer pricing essentially involves the pricing of goods, services, and intellectual property transferred between related entities of multinational enterprises (typically corporations with a common parent company). When these transactions involve related entities located in foreign countries, tax issues arise over how much income should be reported in each country. The United States and foreign tax administrations have complex tax rules about how intercompany pricing is to be determined and income reported. It is an area of significant tax controversy, not only in the United States, but also in numerous countries around the world. The IRS Transfer Pricing Practice conducts many types of compliance activities related to transfer pricing. Those activities include examination cases, Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) cases, Campaigns (which may or may not include examinations), assisting with Advance Pricing Agreement matters, and other efforts. The Practice Network supports those working on transfer pricing issues in TTPO by performing risk assessments and identifying emerging issues or issues of strategic importance. In addition, the Practice Network develops training in transfer pricing issues, provides advice to campaigns and assists agents in transfer pricing tax examinations.
