Code

Description of transaction category

IDF

Inward debt factoring

Any IRPDs in the nature of inward debt factoring that is broadly an arrangement under which the reporting entity (factor) purchases accounts receivables at a discount from an IRP to provide working capital to the selling IRP.

The reporting entity (factor) then collects the receivables from the IRPs customers.

Debt factoring agreements can either be recourse or non-recourse arrangements. With recourse debt factoring, the factor does not assume the risk of bad debts and may seek recourse from the business for any uncollectible debts. With non-recourse debt factoring, the exchange of the receivables essentially transfers ownership of the receivables to the factor, such that the factor obtains all of the rights and risks associated with the receivables.

The term ‘debt factoring’ has its ordinary meaning within the context of commercial practices.

ODF

Outward debt factoring

Any IRPDs in the nature of outward debt factoring that is broadly an arrangement under which the reporting entity sells its accounts receivables at a discount to an IRP (factor) to obtain working capital.

The IRP (factor) then collects the receivables from the reporting entity's customers.

Debt factoring agreements can either be recourse or non-recourse arrangements. With recourse debt factoring, the factor does not assume the risk of bad debts and may seek recourse from the business for any uncollectible debts. With non-recourse debt factoring, the sale of the receivables essentially transfers ownership of the receivables to the factor, such that the factor obtains all of the rights and risks associated with the receivables.

The term ‘debt factoring’ has it ordinary meaning within the context of commercial practices.

IDSEC

Inward debt securitisation

Any IRPDs in the nature of a structured finance arrangement under which the reporting entity purchases financial assets of the IRP through debt securitisation.

Securitisation is a structured finance arrangement where an entity (the originator) sells a portfolio of financial assets to a special purpose vehicle. To acquire the assets from the originator, the special purpose vehicle issues tradable securities to fund the purchase. Investors purchase the securities, either through a private offering (for example, by targeting institutional investors) or on the open market. The originator will retain a beneficial interest in the performance of the securities and may also receive a service fee.

The term ‘debt securitisation’ has its ordinary meaning within the context of commercial practices.

Reporting example: IRPD debt factoring or debt securitisation

Example 12: Outward debt factoring to Singapore IRP

Aus Co is a company that is resident in Australia for tax purposes.

Aus Co has an income tax year ending 30 June.

Aus Co’s functional currency for Australian tax purposes is Australian dollars.

During the income year, Aus Co assigned 35 debt receivables to an IRP resident for tax purposes in Singapore (Singapore Co) under a debt factoring arrangement.

The assignment of all the debt receivables to Singapore Co are with the same IRP and are on the same terms except for date, volume, price and delivery. Accordingly these assignments by way of debt factoring are in the same RAS with the result that the values for all assignments for the 35 debt receivables can be aggregated in Part A of the local file.

The assigned receivables had an aggregate book value of A$100 million. The consideration received by Aus Co from Singapore Co for the assigned receivables was A$45 million based on Aus Co’s accounting records.

Aus Co has applied the transfer pricing methodology ‘Comparable uncontrolled price method’ to all these assignments by way of debt factoring to Singapore Co.

Aus Co has prepared relevant contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation for 100% of its assignments by way of debt factoring to Singapore Co.

Aus Co is not an OBU. Aus Co does not have a conditional or unconditional Australian banking licence.

Singapore Co does not carry on its business operations through a permanent establishment.

Aus Co completes the questions for the IRP transactions / RAS in this example based on its accounting records as shown in the following tables.
