OECD organizes TP workshop for West African countries

As part of the Fiscal Transition Support Program in West Africa (FTSP), the OECD organized a training workshop on transfer pricing from 30 May to 1 June 2023 in Lomé, Togo, for representatives of the 15 Member States of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, as well as the Commissions of ECOWAS and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).

This training workshop is part of a three-year training cycle on transfer pricing organized by the OECD under the FTSP and intended to train thirty tax auditors from West African countries.

The training focused on the Mutual Agreement Procedure which aims to eliminate double taxation resulting from transfer pricing upward adjustments and consisted of presentations by OECD experts alongside practical cases and role plays designed to expose the participants to concrete transfer pricing issues. Held in French, English and Portuguese, it provided opportunities for participants to share their experience for the benefit of their respective tax administrations.
