1. France Launches New Centralized Transfer Pricing Program
French Tax authorities recently launched a new transfer pricing program - Mission d’expertise juridique
et économique internationale (MEJEI). This program will be jointly responsible for both Advance Pricing
Arrangements (APAs) and Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAPs), reports Nair & Co.’s International Tax
team.
Formerly, APAs and MAPs were separately handled by Direction générale des finances publiques
(Bureau CF3) and Direction de la legislation fiscale (Bureau E1), respectively, with little collaboration
and frequent inconvenience to the affected parties.
The new French centralized program – MEJEI can be compared to the current treatment of APAs and
MAPs in the United States. Under this new program, one team will be responsible for both APAs and
MAPs. Further, similar programs are expected to be carried out more efficiently and effectively.
Nair & Co.’s International Tax team anticipates the new MEJEI program to be beneficial for taxpayers.
Reasons for launching the MEJEI include:
Lack of cooperation between Bureau CF3 and Bureau E1

Taxpayers’ exposure to certain disadvantages arising out of lack of operational synergies
between the above bureaus

Incompatible case resolutions, in certain situations, by the above bureau
