New transfer pricing regulations in Cyprus and the impact on tech companies from the new Transfer Pricing Law
In June 2022, the Cyprus Parliament passed a new law introducing detailed transfer pricing legislation, marking a new era in company taxation, with effect from the 1st of January 2022. The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, as amended from time to time, have been legislatively incorporated in Cyprus.
Transfer pricing deserves to be a top-of-mind priority. The OECD, United Nations, European Union and individual countries have changed and keep changing their guidance in the field of transfer pricing due to the BEPS Project. The new guidance can be considered a game-changer and is expected to alter the transfer pricing outcomes in many situations. Intangibles are more important than ever before because they are an essential value driver for MNEs.
Companies, as well as tax authorities, need to have a better understanding of how value is created concerning the development and exploitation of their intangibles. A further focus is on how companies and tax authorities should deal with the three-tiered OECD approach related to transfer pricing documentation.
This workshop meets the practical needs of transfer-pricing professionals in the technology sector. The workshop will focus on transfer pricing and intangibles (e.g. intra-group royalties) and the overlap between the IP Box and tax treaties.
In this session we follow on Top Creator's manifesto presentation and highlight the current trends in the Creators economy. We will also look at different angles including a holistic one featuring what is the most important story on planet Earth. How could the community of creators shape and set new trends based not just on success but also on significance.

Cross-chain revolution in the blockchain industry. Why are we banking on it for the next Bull Run?
Cross-chain industry is growing rapidly. Millions of transactions and billions of dollars are sent monthly between networks. In addition to competing for users, developers, and liquidity, huge blockchain networks need to communicate with each other. The simplification of cross-chain transfers, as well as the transfer of messages (data) between networks, opens up huge opportunities for market professionals and regular users. Denis from DeBridges.com will share the company's vision for the cross-chain industry and its significance in the near future for the entire crypto market.
Metaverses are. Taking off, but will they have legs? What are the major companies playing in metaverses, will they get traction with consumers, and will the hardware arrive?
