Advance Pricing Agreements for oil and gas

How to use Advance Pricing Agreements to resolve transfer pricing issues in oil and gas operations.

What an Advance Pricing Agreement is

An Advance Pricing Agreement is a written agreement between a business and HMRC which determines a method for resolving transfer pricing issues before a return is made.

When the terms of the agreement are complied with, the agreement gives assurance to the business that the treatment of the transfer pricing issues will be accepted by HMRC for the period covered by the agreement.

You can find detailed guidance about Advance Pricing Agreements in the HMRC International Manual.
