Reporting example: IRPD share based employment remuneration

Example 8: Provision of recharge amounts to German IRP

Aus Co is a company that is resident in Australia for tax purposes.

Aus Co has an income tax year ending 30 June.

Aus Co’s functional currency for Australian tax purposes is Australian dollars.

During the income year Aus Co paid $2 million to its ultimate parent company resident for tax purpose in Germany (German Co) to compensate German Co for providing rights over shares in German Co to senior executives of Aus Co. Aus Co claimed a deduction for income tax purposes for this $2 million payment for the income year.

Aus Co did not pay or obtain consideration of a capital nature in relation to the recharge arrangements for share-based compensation.

Aus Co did receive non-monetary consideration in relation to the recharge amounts paid to German Co, being the share rights granted by German Co in connection with the remuneration of senior executives of Aus Co.

Aus Co has applied the transfer pricing methodology ‘Other arm’s length method’ to all recharge amounts paid to German Co.

Aus Co has prepared relevant contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation for 100% of the recharge arrangements for share based compensation.

Aus Co completes the questions for the IRP transactions/RAS in this example based on its income tax records as shown in the following tables.
