Listen to KPMG’s Webcast Replay: Canada-US Double Tax Disputes – Navigating the New Arbitration Process 

The first wave of double taxation cases that have recourse under the Canada-US tax treaty’s mandatory arbitration procedure will become eligible for the procedure on December 15, 2010. This new level of dispute resolution under the treaty may now be available where the competent authorities cannot reach an agreement and the case has been unresolved for 2 years or more. The IRS and CRA competent authorities have recently released detailed guidelines on how the new mandatory arbitration process will operate.

On Thursday, December 16th, KPMG’s senior professionals from our Transfer Pricing team and KPMG in the US's team discussed what your tax department needs to know to prepare for and navigate the mandatory arbitration under the Canada-US tax treaty.


Our presenters included moderator François Vincent, Leader of KPMG’s Global Transfer Pricing Dispute Resolution (GTPDR) network and National Leader of our Global Transfer Pricing Services, and speakers James Gatley (Toronto) and Brian Trauman (New York – KPMG in the US).
