Abstract: The purpose of section 482 is to ensure that taxpayers clearly reflect income attributable to controlled transactions and to prevent the avoidance of taxes with respect to such transactions. Revenue Procedure 2015-41 provides guidance on the process of requesting and obtaining advance pricing agreements from the Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement program (“APMA”). This revenue procedure also provides guidance on administration of an executed advance pricing agreement (APA).
