（基本方針）

(Basic Policy)

１-２　移転価格税制に係る事務については、この税制が独立企業原則に基づいていることに配意し、適正に行っていく必要がある。

1-2 Affairs concerning transfer pricing taxation must be properly managed, taking into consideration the fact that this taxation system is based on the arm's length principle.

このため、次に掲げる基本方針に従って当該事務を運営する。

For this reason, such affairs shall operate in accordance with the basic policies listed as follows:

（１）法人の国外関連取引に付された価格が非関連者間の取引において通常付され た価格となっているかどうかを十分に検討し、問題があると認められる取引を把握した場合には、市場の状況及び業界情報等の幅広い事実の把握に努め、算定方 法・比較対象取引の選定や差異調整等について的確な調査を実施する。

(1) Whether the prices fixed for a corporation's transactions with a foreign affiliate are equal to the prices normally fixed for uncontrolled transactions shall be closely examined. In cases where any problem is found in the transactions, efforts shall be made to widely collect information regarding the market and the business for an appropriate examination as to the selection of pricing methodologies and comparable transactions, and adjustment for differences.

（２）独立企業間価格の算定方法等に関し、法人の申出を受け、また、当該申出に係る相互協議の合意がある場合にはその内容を踏まえ、事前確認を行うことにより、当該法人の予測可能性を確保し、移転価格税制の適正・円滑な執行を図る。

(2) To ensure the predictability of the corporation and to realize proper and smooth enforcement of transfer pricing taxation, the APA process shall be conducted in cases where a request for an APA regarding the TPM is submitted by the corporation, based on the content of a mutual agreement relating to the request for the APA, if there is any such agreement.

（３）移転価格税制に基づく課税により生じた国際的な二重課税の解決には、移転価格に関する各国税務当局による共通の認識が重要であることから、調査又は事前確認審査に当たっては、必要に応じＯＥＣＤ移転価格ガイドラインを参考にし、適切な執行に努める。

(3) To eliminate international double taxation caused by transfer pricing taxation, it is important for the tax authorities of each country to share an understanding of transfer pricing. Therefore, an examination or an APA review shall be conducted in an appropriate manner by referring to the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines as necessary.

（別冊の活用）

(Use of Reference Case Studies)

１-３　別冊「移転価格税制の適用に当たっての参考事例集」は、一定の前提条件を置いた設例に基づいて移転価格税制上の取扱いを取りまとめたものである。

1-3 The "Reference Case Studies on Application of Transfer Pricing Taxation" (supplement) describes the tax treatment of transfer pricing illustrated by examples based on certain preconditions.

このため、別冊で取り上げた事例以外の事例があることはもとより、類似の事例であっても、前提条件が異なることにより移転価格税制上の取扱いが異なり得ることに留意の上、これを参考にして当該税制に係る事務を適切に行う。

This shall be referred to in order to assist the proper administrative affairs of transfer pricing taxation while being mindful of a possibility that there exist other cases as well as those described in the Case Studies that, though similar, may be treated differently for the purposes of transfer pricing taxation due to being based on different preconditions.

Chapter 2. Examination

（調査の方針)

2-1 When examining transactions with a foreign affiliate, the following points shall be taken into account, in order to correctly ascertain whether any problem exists in the transaction under transfer pricing taxation.

この場合においては、形式的な検討に陥ることなく個々の取引実態に即した検討を行うことに配意する。

In the examination process, each case shall be examined not perfunctorily but carefully, bearing in mind the circumstances of each transaction.

（１）法人の国外関連取引に係る売上総利益率又は営業利益率等(以下「利益率等」という。) が、同様の市場で法人が非関連者と行う取引のうち、規模、取引段階その他の内容が類似する取引に係る利益率等に比べて過少となっていないか。

(1) Whether or not the gross profit margin or operating margin (hereinafter referred to as "profit margin, etc.") derived from the corporation's transactions with a foreign affiliate is excessively low, compared with other transactions conducted by the corporation with non-affiliates in a similar market and which are similar in transaction volume, transaction level, and other respects.

（２）法人の国外関連取引に係る利益率等が、当該国外関連取引に係る事業と同種で、規模、取引段階その他の内容が類似する事業を営む非関連者である他の法人の当該事業に係る利益率等に比べて過少となっていないか。

(2) Whether or not the profit margin, etc. derived from the corporation's transactions with a foreign affiliate is excessively low, compared with the profit margin, etc. of other corporations, who are non-affiliates engaged in the same category of business that is similar in transaction volume, transaction level, and other respects.

（３）法人及び国外関連者が国外関連取引において果たす機能又は負担するリスク等を勘案した結果、法人の当該国外関連取引に係る利益が、当該国外関連者の当該国外関連取引に係る利益に比べて相対的に過少となっていないか。

(Points to Consider when Conducting Examinations)

２-２　国外関連取引の検討は、確定申告書及び調査等により収集した資料等を基に行う。

Prior to the determination of the arm's length price, examinations shall be conducted from various angles, bearing in mind the circumstances of each transaction, by methods including the following, in order to determine whether there exist any problems regarding transfer pricing taxation and to ensure that the examinations are conducted effectively.

（１）法人の国外関連取引に係る事業と同種で、規模、取引段階その他の内容が概ね類似する複数の非関連取引（以下「比較対象取引の候補と考えられる取引」という。）に係る利益率等の範囲内に、国外関連取引に係る利益率等があるかどうかを検討する。

(1) Verifying whether or not the profit margin, etc. of transactions with a foreign affiliate that are subject to the examination are within the range of the profit margin, etc. of plural uncontrolled transactions in the same category of business and are substantially similar to the corporation's transactions with a foreign affiliate in transaction volume, transaction level, and other respects (hereinafter referred to as "transactions deemed to be potential comparable transactions").

（２）国外関連取引に係る棚卸資産等が一般的に需要の変化、製品のライフサイク ル等により価格が相当程度変動することにより、各事業年度又は連結事業年度ごとの情報のみで検討することが適切でないと認められる場合には、当該事業年度 又は連結事業年度の前後の合理的な期間における当該国外関連取引又は比較対象取引の候補と考えられる取引の対価の額又は利益率等の平均値等を基礎として検 討する。

(2) In cases where it is considered to be inappropriate to examine prices of inventory assets, etc. relating to transactions with a foreign affiliate based only on the information for each relevant business year or consolidated business year due to considerable changes in prices reflecting changes in public demand, product lifecycle, or other such factors, using the average value of the consideration or the profit margin, etc. for the transactions with a foreign affiliate or transactions deemed to be potentially comparable transactions during a reasonable length of time before and after the business year or consolidated business year.

(Note) In cases where the interest rate listed in (1) is applicable, and the loan actually provided by a bank, etc. to the lender in the transaction with the foreign affiliate falls under the category of a loan made under similar conditions as prescribed in (1), it shall be noted that whether the loan has a conditional relationship with the transaction with the foreign affiliate is of no relevance.

（役務提供）

(Provision of Services)

２-８　役務提供について調査を行う場合には、次の点に留意する。

2-8 The following points shall be noted when examining the provision of services:

（１）役務提供を行う際に無形資産を使用しているにもかかわらず、当該役務提供の対価の額に無形資産の使用に係る部分が含まれていない場合があること。

(1) In some cases, the consideration for the use of intangible property is not included in the price for the provision of services, even though the intangible property is used for providing services.

（注)　無形資産が役務提供を行う際に使用されているかどうかについて調査を行 う場合には、役務の提供と無形資産の使用は概念的には別のものであることに留意し、役務の提供者が当該役務提供時に措置法通達66の４(2)-３の(8) に掲げる無形資産を用いているか、当該役務提供が役務の提供を受ける法人の活動、機能等にどのような影響を与えているか等について検討を行う。

(Note) In cases where whether any intangible property is used for providing services is being examined, the provision of services and use of intangible property shall be noted as being conceptually distinct. Examinations shall be conducted regarding such matters as whether the service provider uses the intangible property listed in ASMT Directive 66-4(2)-3-(8) when providing services, and what impact the provision of services has on the activities and functions of the service recipient.

（１）法人が国外関連者に対し、次に掲げるような経営・財務・業務・事務管理上の活動を行う場合において、当該活動が役務の提供に該当するかどうかは、当該活動が当該国外関連者にとって経済的又は商業的価値を有するものかどうかにより判断する。

(1) In cases where a corporation performs the following activities regarding management, finance, business, and administration for a foreign affiliate, whether the activities are deemed to be the provision of services shall be judged on the basis of whether the activities have economic or commercial value for the foreign affiliate.

具体的には、当該国外関連者と同様の状況にある非関連者が他の非関連者からこれと同じ活動を受けた場合に対価を支払うかどうか、又は当該法人が当該活動を行わなかったとした場合に国外関連者自らがこれと同じ活動を行う必要があると認められるかどうかにより判断する。

Specifically, it shall be judged on the basis of whether it can be deemed that a non-affiliate under similar circumstances as the foreign affiliate pays another non-affiliate to do the same activities on its behalf, or the foreign affiliate would need to perform the same activities for itself if the corporation did not perform the activities:

（２）法人が、国外関連者の要請に応じて随時役務の提供を行い得るよう人員や設備等を利用可能な状態に定常的に維持している場合には、かかる状態を維持していること自体が役務の提供に該当することに留意する。

(2) In cases where a corporation continuously maintains staff and equipment that are ready to provide services for a foreign affiliate upon request at any time, it shall be noted that maintaining this state of readiness itself is deemed to be the provision of services.

（３）法人が国外関連者に対し行う(1)の活動が、役務の提供に該当するかどうかを検討するに当たり、次に掲げる活動は国外関連者にとって経済的又は商業的価値を有するものではないことに留意する。

(3) In examining whether the activities set forth in (1) that are performed by a corporation for a foreign affiliate are deemed to be the provision of services, it shall be noted that the following activities do not have economic or commercial value for the foreign affiliate:

　イ　法人が国外関連者に対し、非関連者が当該国外関連者に行う役務の提供又は 当該国外関連者が自らのために行う(1)の活動と重複する活動を行う場合における当該重複する活動（ただし、その重複が一時的であると認められる場合、又 は当該重複する活動が事業判断の誤りに係るリスクを減少させるために手続上重複して行われるチェック等であると認められる場合を除く。）

(a) In cases where the corporation performs for the foreign affiliate activities that duplicate the services provided by a non-affiliate for the foreign affiliate or activities set forth in (1) that are performed by the foreign affiliate itself, the duplicate activities (excluding cases where it is deemed that such duplication is only temporary or the duplication is undertaken to reduce the risk of a wrong business decision);

　ロ　国外関連者に対し株主としての地位を有する法人が、専ら自らのために行う株主としての法令上の権利の行使又は義務の履行に係る活動（以下「株主活動」という。）で、例えば次に掲げるもの

(b) Such activities as follows that relate to the exercise of right or performance of obligation under laws and regulations and which a corporation holding a status as a shareholder of a foreign affiliate performs solely on its own behalf as a shareholder (hereinafter referred to as "shareholder activities"):

　　(ｲ)　親会社が実施する株主総会の開催や株式の発行など、親会社が遵守すべき法令に基づいて行う活動

a. Activities performed by the parent company under laws and regulations that it is obligated to follow, such as the holding of shareholders meetings and issuing of shares;

　　(ﾛ)　親会社が金融商品取引法に基づく有価証券報告書等を作成するための活動

b. Activities performed by the parent company to prepare a securities report and other reports based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

(注)　親会社が子会社等に対して行う特定の業務に係る企画、緊急時の管理、技術的助言、日々の経営に関する支援等は、株主としての地位を有する者が専ら株主として自らのために行うものとは認められないことから、株主活動には該当しない。

(Note) Activities such as planning for specific business, administration in an emergency, technical advice and assistance concerning daily management provided by the parent company for its subsidiary companies, etc. shall not fall under the category of shareholder activities, because it cannot be deemed that such activities are performed by a person holding a status as a shareholder solely on his/her own behalf as a shareholder.

　また、親会社が子会社等に対する投資の保全を目的として行う活動で、かつ、当該子会社等にとって経済的又は商業的価値を有するものは役務の提供に該当する。

Activities that the parent company performs for the purpose of maintaining the investment in its subsidiary companies, etc. and which have economic or commercial value for the subsidiary companies, etc. shall be deemed to be the provision of services.

（４）(1)から(3)までの取扱いは、国外関連者が法人に対して行う活動について準用する。

(4) The treatment set forth in (1) to (3) shall be applied mutatis mutandis with regard to activities performed by a foreign affiliate for a corporation.

（５）法人が国外関連者に対し支払うべき役務の提供に係る対価の額の適否の検討に際して、当該法人に対し、当該国外関連者から受けた役務の内容等が記載された書類等の提示又は提出を求める。

(5) In examining whether or not the consideration that a corporation shall pay to a foreign affiliate for the provision of services is appropriate, the corporation shall be required to present or submit documents containing the details of the services that it received from the foreign affiliate.

この場合において、当該役務の提供に係る実態等が確認できないときには、措置法第66条の４第３項等の規定の適用について検討することに留意する。

In this case, where the actual circumstances relating to the provision of the services cannot be confirmed, it shall be noted that the application of the provisions such as Article 66-4, paragraph (3) of the ASMT is to be considered.

（措置法通達66の４(6)-５に定める方法以外の方法による役務提供取引の検討）

(Examination of Service Provision Transactions through Methods other than Those Prescribed in ASMT Directive 66-4(6)-5)

２-10

2-10

（１）法人が国外関連者との間で行う役務提供のうち、当該法人又は当該国外関連 者の本来の業務に付随した役務提供について調査を行うに当たり、措置法通達66の４(6)-５に定める方法のいずれも適用できない場合には、当該役務提供 の総原価の額を独立企業間価格として、当該役務提供に係る対価の額の適否を検討する。

(1) In cases where none of the methods prescribed in ASMT Directive 66-4(6)-5 are applicable to the provision of services provided by a corporation to its foreign affiliate that are incidental to the original business activities of the corporation or the foreign affiliate, whether or not the consideration for providing the services is appropriate shall be examined, assuming that the gross cost for providing the services is an arm's length price.

　この場合において、本来の業務に付随した役務提供とは、例えば、海外子会社か ら製品を輸入している法人が当該海外子会社の製造設備に対して行う技術指導等、役務提供を主たる事業としていない法人又は国外関連者が、本来の業務に付随 して又はこれに関連して行う役務提供をいう。

In this case, the services incidental to the original business activities mean the services provided incidentally or related to the original business activities of the corporation or the foreign affiliate not mainly engaged in the provision of services; e.g., a corporation that imports products from its foreign subsidiary company provides technical guidance regarding the manufacturing facilities of the foreign subsidiary company.

また、役務提供に係る総原価には、原則として、当該役務提供に関連する直接費のみならず、合理的な配賦基準によって計算された担当部門及び補助部門の一般管理費等間接費まで含まれることに留意する。

The gross cost for the provision of services includes, as a rule, not only direct expenses relating to the provision of the services but also indirect expenses, such as the general and administrative expenses of the department in charge or any assisting department, calculated in accordance with reasonable allocation standards.

(注)　本来の業務に付随した役務提供に該当するかどうかは、原則として、当該役務提供の目的等により判断するのであるが、次に掲げる場合には、本文の取扱いは適用しない。

(Note) As a rule, whether the provision of services is incidental to the original business is judged on the basis of the purpose of the provision of the services. Nevertheless, the treatment set forth in the main clause shall not apply in the following cases:

　イ　役務提供に要した費用が、法人又は国外関連者の当該役務提供を行った事業年度の原価又は費用の額の相当部分を占める場合

(a) In cases where the cost incurred for the provision of the services accounts for a considerable portion of the amount of costs or expenses of the corporation or the foreign affiliate for the business year during which the services are provided;

　ロ　役務提供を行う際に無形資産を使用する場合等当該役務提供の対価の額を当該役務提供の総原価とすることが相当ではないと認められる場合

(b) In cases where it is deemed inappropriate to treat the consideration for the provision of the services as the gross cost therefor, such as cases where intangible property is used for providing the services.

（２）法人が国外関連者との間で行う(1)以外の役務提供について調査を行うに 当たり、措置法通達66の４(6)-５に定める方法のいずれも適用できない場合で、次に掲げる要件のすべてを満たしているときには、(1)と同様の方法で 当該役務提供に係る対価の額の適否を検討する。

(2) In examining the provision of services other than those set forth in (1) that a corporation provides its foreign affiliate, in cases where none of the methods prescribed in ASMT Directive 66-4(6)-5 is applicable and the following requirements are all met, whether or not the consideration for providing the services is appropriate shall be examined with the same method as set forth in (1):

　イ　役務の内容が次に掲げる業務のいずれかに該当すること。

(a) The content of the services falls under any of the following business:

　　(ｲ)　予算の作成又は管理

a. Budgeting or budgetary control;

　　(ﾇ)　その他一般事務管理

j. Other general administration;

　ロ　当該役務提供が法人又は国外関連者の事業活動の重要な部分に関連していないこと。

(b) The provision of the services is not related to a significant part of the business activities of the corporation or the foreign affiliate;

　ハ　当該役務提供に要した費用が法人又は国外関連者の当該役務提供を行った事業年度の原価又は費用の額の相当部分を占めていないこと。

(c) The cost incurred for the provision of the services does not account for a considerable portion of the amount of costs or expenses of the corporation or the foreign affiliate for the business year during which the services are provided;

　ニ　当該役務提供を行う際に自己の無形資産を使用していないこと。

(d) The corporation's own intangible property is not used to provide the services;

（調査において検討すべき無形資産）

(Intangible Property to Consider in Examinations)

２-11　調査において無形資産が法人又は国外関連者の所得にどの程度寄与しているかを検討するに当たっては、例えば、次に掲げる重要な価値を有し所得の源泉となるものを総合的に勘案することに留意する。

2-11 When assessing, in examinations, how intangible property contributes to the income of a corporation or a foreign affiliate, assets such as the following that have material value and serve as a source of income shall be comprehensively considered:

　イ　技術革新を要因として形成される特許権、営業秘密等

(a) Patent rights and trade secrets derived from technical innovation;

　ロ　従業員等が経営、営業、生産、研究開発、販売促進等の企業活動における経験等を通じて形成したノウハウ等

(b) Know-how derived from experience of employees and other human resources through business activities such as management, trade operations, production, research and development, and sales promotion.

　ハ　生産工程、交渉手順及び開発、販売、資金調達等に係る取引網等

　(c) Production processes, negotiation procedures, and development, distribution, and financing networks.

なお、法人又は国外関連者の有する無形資産が所得の源泉となっているかどうかの 検討に当たり、例えば、国外関連取引の事業と同種の事業を営み、市場、事業規模等が類似する法人のうち、所得の源泉となる無形資産を有しない法人を把握で きる場合には、当該法人又は国外関連者の国外関連取引に係る利益率等の水準と当該無形資産を有しない法人の利益率等の水準との比較を行うとともに、当該法 人又は国外関連者の無形資産の形成に係る活動、機能等を十分に分析することに留意する。

When determining whether the intangible property of the corporation or the foreign affiliate serves as a source of income, in cases, for instance, where it is possible to identify a corporation without intangible property serving as a source of income from among corporations engaging in the same category of business as the that involving the transaction with the foreign affiliate and that has similar markets and scales of operation, it shall be noted that a comparison is to be made between the profit margin, etc. relating to transactions with a foreign affiliate of the corporation or the foreign affiliate and the profit margin, etc. of the corporation without such intangible property, as well as analyzing the activities, functions, etc. in relation to the creation of the intangible property of the corporation or the foreign affiliate.

(注)　役務提供を行う際に無形資産が使用されている場合の役務提供と無形資産の関係については、2-8(1)の（注）に留意する。

(Note) Regarding the relationship between the provision of services and intangible property in cases where intangible property is used for providing the services, the Note of 2-8(1) shall be noted.

（無形資産の形成、維持又は発展への貢献）

(Contribution to the Creation, Maintenance or Development of Intangible Property)

２-12　無形資産の使用許諾取引等について調査を行う場合には、無形資産の法的な所有関係のみならず、無形資産を形成、維持又は発展（以下「形成等」という。）させるための活動において法人又は国外関連者の行った貢献の程度も勘案する必要があることに留意する。

2-12 When examining licensing transactions of intangible property, it shall be noted that not only the legal ownership of the intangible property but also the degree of contribution of a corporation or a foreign affiliate to the activities for the creation, maintenance or development of the intangible property (hereafter referred to as the "creation, etc.") needs to be taken into account.

　なお、無形資産の形成等への貢献の程度を判断するに当たっては、当該無形資産の形成等のための意思決定、役務の提供、費用の負担及びリスクの管理において法人又は国外関連者が果たした機能等を総合的に勘案する。

When assessing the degree of the contribution to the creation, etc. of intangible property, the functions that the corporation or the foreign affiliate performed, in such processes as decision making, provision of services, bearing of costs, and risk management, shall be taken into account comprehensively.

この場合、所得の源泉となる見通しが高い無形資産の形成等において法人又は国外関連者が単にその費用を負担しているというだけでは、貢献の程度は低いものであることに留意する。

In this case, it shall be noted that the degree of contribution is to be assessed as low when the corporation or the foreign affiliate merely bears the cost of the creation, etc. of the intangible property that is highly expected to be a source of income.

（無形資産の使用許諾取引）

(Licensing Transaction of Intangible Property)

２-13　法人又は国外関連者のいずれか一方が保有する無形資産を他方が使用し ている場合で、当事者間でその使用に関する取決めがないときには、譲渡があったと認められる場合を除き、当該無形資産の使用許諾取引があるものとして当該 取引に係る独立企業間価格の算定を行うことに留意する。

2-13 In cases where either a corporation or a foreign affiliate is using the intangible property owned by the other party without an agreement concerning its use, it shall be noted that the arm's length price relating to this transaction is to be determined, assuming that there is a licensing transaction of the intangible property, except when it is deemed that there has been a transfer transaction.

　なお、その使用許諾取引の開始時期については、非関連者間の取引の例を考慮するなどにより、当該無形資産の提供を受けた日、使用を開始した日又はその使用により収益を計上することとなった日のいずれかより、適切に判断する。

The commencement date of the licensing transaction shall be determined properly from among the dates when the intangible property was provided, the use thereof started or any profit was recorded through the use thereof, by considering examples of transactions between non-affiliates.

（費用分担契約）

(Cost Contribution Arrangement)

２-14　費用分担契約とは、特定の無形資産を開発する等の共通の目的を有する 契約当事者（以下「参加者」という。）間で、その目的の達成のために必要な活動（以下「研究開発等の活動」という。）に要する費用を、当該研究開発等の活 動から生じる新たな成果によって各参加者において増加すると見込まれる収益又は減少すると見込まれる費用（以下「予測便益」という。）の各参加者の予測便 益の合計額に対する割合（以下「予測便益割合」という。）によって分担することを取り決め、当該研究開発等の活動から生じる新たな成果の持分を各参加者の それぞれの分担額に応じて取得することとする契約をいい、例えば、新製品の製造技術の開発に当たり、法人及び国外関連者のそれぞれが当該製造技術を用いて 製造する新製品の販売によって享受するであろう予測便益を基礎として算定した予測便益割合を用いて、当該製造技術の開発に要する費用を法人と国外関連者と の間で分担することを取り決め、当該製造技術の開発から生じる新たな無形資産の持分をそれぞれの分担額に応じて取得することとする契約がこれに該当する。

2-14 A Cost Contribution Arrangement (hereinafter referred to as "CCA") means a contract to share the cost required for the activities necessary for the achievement of a common purpose, such as the development of specific intangible property (hereinafter referred to as "activities such as research and development"), between contracting parties (hereinafter referred to as "participant(s)"), and to obtain the share of the outcome yielded from the activities such as research and development in accordance with the proportion of the total amount of expected benefit (hereinafter referred to as the "expected proportion of benefit") of the profit that is expected to increase or the cost that is expected to decrease (hereinafter referred to as the "expected benefit") for each participant by the new outcome yielded from the activities such as research and development. For instance, the following falls under a CCA: a contract to share the cost required for the development of the manufacturing technology for new products between a corporation and a foreign affiliate, using the expected proportion of benefit calculated on the basis of the expected benefit that would be enjoyed by the corporation and the foreign affiliate through the sale of the new products to be manufactured by using the manufacturing technology, and to obtain the share of the new intangible property yielded from the development of the manufacturing technology in accordance with the cost to be shared by each of them.

（費用分担契約の取扱い）

(Treatment of CCA)

２-15　法人が国外関連者との間で締結した費用分担契約に基づく費用の分担 （費用分担額の調整を含む。）及び持分の取得は、国外関連取引に該当し、当該費用分担契約における当該法人の予測便益割合が、当該法人の適正な予測便益割 合（2-16及び2-18による検討に基づき算定される割合をいう。）に比して過大であると認められるときは、当該法人が分担した費用の総額のうちその過 大となった割合に対応する部分の金額は、独立企業間価格を超えるものとして損金の額に算入されないことに留意する。

2-15 Cost contributions (including adjustment of the amount of cost contributions) and acquisition of shares based on a CCA concluded between a corporation and a foreign affiliate shall fall under transactions with a foreign affiliate, and in cases where the corporation's expected proportion of benefit under the CCA is recognized as excessive compared with the proper expected proportion of benefit for the corporation (meaning the proportion calculated based on examinations as prescribed in 2-16 and 2-18), it shall be noted that from out of the total cost borne by the corporation, the amount borne for the part of the proportion that is excessive shall not be included in the amount of deductible expenses as it exceeds the arm's length price.

（注)　法人が分担した費用については、法人税に関する法令の規定に基づいて処 理するのであるから、例えば、研究開発等の活動に要する費用のうちに措置法第61条の４第３項に規定する交際費等がある場合には、適正な予測便益割合に基 づき法人が分担した交際費等の額は、措置法通達61の４(1)-23((交際費等の支出の方法))(1)の規定に準じて取り扱うこととなり、当該分担した 交際費等の額を基に同条第１項の規定に基づく損金不算入額計算を行うこととなることに留意する。

(Note) The cost shared by a corporation shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the laws and regulations concerning corporation tax. Therefore, for instance, in cases where there are entertainment expenses, etc. prescribed in Article 61-4, paragraph (3) of the ASMT in the cost required for the activities such as research and development, the amount of entertainment expenses, etc. shared by the corporation based on the proper expected proportion of benefit shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of ASMT Directive 61-4(1)-23-(1) ("Method of Expenditure of Entertainment Expenses, etc."). Therefore, it shall be noted that the amount of non-deductible expenses under paragraph (1) of the same Article is to be calculated based on the amount of entertainment expenses, etc. shared by the corporation.

（費用分担契約に関する留意事項）

(Points to Note in Relation to CCA)

２-16　法人が国外関連者との間で費用分担契約を締結している場合には、次のような点に留意の上、法人の費用分担額等の適否を検討する。

2-16 In cases where a corporation concluded a CCA with a foreign affiliate, whether or not the amount of cost contribution of the corporation is appropriate shall be examined, taking the following points into account:

　イ　研究開発等の活動の範囲が明確に定められているか。また、その内容が具体的かつ詳細に定められているか。

(a) Whether the range of the activities such as research and development is clearly defined and the content is provided for specifically and in detail;

　ロ　研究開発等の活動から生じる成果を自ら使用するなど、すべての参加者が直接的に便益を享受することが見込まれているか。

(b) Whether all participants are expected to enjoy the benefit directly by using the outcome yielded from the activities such as research and development for themselves;

　ハ　各参加者が分担すべき費用の額は、研究開発等の活動に要した費用の合計額を、適正に見積もった予測便益割合に基づいて配分することにより、決定されているか。

(c) Whether the amount of cost to be shared by each participant has been determined by allocating the total amount of cost required for the activities such as research and development, based on the expected proportion of benefit, which has been properly estimated;

　ニ　予測便益を直接的に見積もることが困難である場合、予測便益の算定に、各参加者が享受する研究開発等の活動から生じる成果から得る便益の程度を推測するに足りる合理的な基準（売上高、売上総利益、営業利益、製造又は販売の数量等）が用いられているか。

(d) In cases where it is difficult to estimate the expected benefit directly, whether the standard (sales amount, gross profit, operating income, volume of production or sales, etc.) used for the calculation of the expected benefit is reasonable enough for assuming the degree of benefit obtained by each participant from the outcome yielded from the activities such as research and development;

　ホ　予測便益割合は、その算定の基礎となった基準の変動に応じて見直されているか。

(e) Whether the expected proportion of benefit is reviewed in accordance with the fluctuation of the standard used to calculate it;

　へ　予測便益割合と実現便益割合（研究開発等の活動から生じた成果によって各 参加者において増加した収益又は減少した費用（以下「実現便益」という。）の各参加者の実現便益の合計額に対する割合をいう。）とが著しく乖離している場 合に、各参加者の予測便益の見積りが適正であったかどうかについての検討が行われているか。

(f) Whether it has been examined if each participant's expected benefit was estimated properly, when there are significant deviations between the expected proportion of benefit and the realized proportion of benefit (meaning the proportion of increased profit or decreased costs for each participant (hereinafter referred to as the "realized benefit") based on the outcome yielded from the activities such as research and development, to the total of the realized benefit for each participant);

　ト　新規加入又は脱退があった場合、それまでの研究開発等の活動を通じて形成された無形資産等がある場合には、その加入又は脱退が生じた時点でその無形資産等の価値を評価し、その無形資産等に対する持分の適正な対価の授受が行われているか。

(g) In cases where there is a new entry in an active CCA or a withdrawal and there is intangible property, etc. created through the past activities such as research and development, whether the intangible property, etc. is evaluated at the time of the new entry or the withdrawal, and whether the proper consideration for the intangible property, etc. is paid or received among the participants in proportion to the share of the intangible property, etc..

（費用分担契約における既存の無形資産の使用）

(Use of Existing Intangible Property under a CCA)

２-17　参加者の保有する既存の無形資産（当該費用分担契約を通じて取得・開 発された無形資産以外の無形資産をいう。以下同じ。）が費用分担契約における研究開発等の活動で使用されている場合には、その無形資産が他の参加者に譲渡 されたと認められる場合を除き、当該無形資産を保有する参加者において、その無形資産に係る独立企業間の使用料に相当する金額が収受されているか、あるい はこれを分担したものとして費用分担額の計算が行われているかについて検討する必要があることに留意する。

2-17 In cases where existing intangible property owned by a participant (meaning any assets other than the intangible property acquired/developed through the CCA; the same shall apply hereafter) is used for the activities such as research and development under the CCA, it shall be noted that it is required to examine whether the participant who owns the existing intangible property has received the arm's length royalty or that the cost shared has been calculated assuming that such an amount has been shared by the participant, except when the intangible property is recognized to have been transferred to the other participants.

（注)　法人が研究開発等の活動において自ら開発行為等を行っている場合や国外 関連者である参加者の実現便益がその予測便益を著しく上回っているような場合には、法人の保有する既存の無形資産が当該研究開発等の活動に使用されている かどうかを検討し、その使用があると認められた場合においては、本文の検討を行うことに留意する。

(Note) In cases where a corporation conducts development activities, etc. by itself in relation to the activities such as research and development, or the realized benefit of a participant that is a foreign affiliate significantly exceeds the expected benefit, it is required to examine whether the existing intangible property owned by the corporation is used for the activities such as research and development; in cases where the use is recognized, it shall be noted that the examination set forth in the main clause is to be conducted.

（費用分担契約に係る検査を行う書類等）
