 2.0 reforms is complex, subject to continued consideration, the release of further guidance by the OECD and, in certain cases, update by the U.K. Parliament and in particular may be affected by the implementation (or lack thereof) of similar rules in other jurisdictions in which we operate (for example, see “—The OECD’s initiative to limit harmful tax competition may result in higher taxation and increased complexity, burden and cost of compliance”).

The U.K. diverted profits tax (“DPT”) is separate from U.K. corporation tax and is set at a charge 6% higher than the standard rate of corporation tax. The DPT is an anti-avoidance measure aimed at protecting the U.K. tax base against the artificial diversion of profits that are being earned by activities carried out in the United Kingdom but which are not otherwise being taxed in the United Kingdom, in particular as a result of arrangements amongst companies in the same multinational group. The United Kingdom’s network of tax treaties does not offer protection from a DPT charge. In the event that the rules apply to certain arrangements, then upfront payment of HMRC’s estimate of the deemed tax liability may be required. If any of our U.K. or non-U.K. companies is liable for DPT as a result of intra-group arrangements, this could have a material adverse effect on our results.

Although it is not yet possible to predict whether and to what extent HMRC’s response to this consultation could impact us, any extension of the scope of the U.K.’s transfer pricing rules or broadening of the U.K.’s definition of permanent establishment could have adverse effects on our results of operations.

Our U.K. and U.S. operations may be adversely affected by a transfer pricing adjustment in computing U.K. or U.S. taxable profits.
