An APA helps taxpayers and tax authorities agree on how to price transactions between related companies in different countries
Presently, there are five APA teams in the country with two teams in Delhi and one team each in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Gurgaon
GAIL is the first public sector undertaking in oil & gas sector in India to successfully sign the APA
APAs are aimed at providing certainty to taxpayers in respect of the transfer price of the cross-border transactions
These companies are reaching out to the direct tax board to seek clarity on revising the advance pricing agreements
One of these agreements also have a 'rollback' provision in them
