Loyens & Loeff on 4^th July published an article saying that the OECD had published the long-awaited public discussion draft on financial transactions which provides guidance on general pricing issues in relation to intragroup financing, as well as on specific pricing issues regarding cash pooling, hedging transactions, guarantees and captive insurance structures.  The article says that it provides taxpayers and tax authorities new arguments to defend or challenge both existing and future intragroup financial transactions.  Responses to the draft can be made until 7^th September.
