HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has run an Advance Pricing Agreement Programme since 1999 to assist businesses in identifying solutions for complex transfer pricing issues and by agreeing their transfer pricing in advance. The average time taken by HMRC to draw up an agreement is available on the HMRC website at: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/international/transfer-pricing-stats.pdf<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Time taken is measured from the date the formal APA application is received to the date the agreement is signed by all relevant parties. The increase in elapsed times reflects an increased number of bilateral applications where HMRC has to work with other tax administrations, and has limited control over the process.<\/p>
