Press release
26 March 2025
Alison Lobb, International Tax and Policy Lead at Deloitte, said: “As part of the UK’s desire to be attractive to inbound investment, the government is looking to provide certainty through a bespoke, tailored service for the largest investments. This will bring the UK in line with other countries that offer such certainty, increasing its competitive advantage in comparison to alternative countries.
“Businesses have long-valued certainty, stability and transparency in relation to their Corporation Tax affairs, particularly where large investments are at stake. They will therefore be keen to support this process, alongside the proposed ‘gateway’ to existing certainty mechanisms. The move to provide certainty on the transfer pricing treatment of cost contribution arrangements – as heralded in the Corporation Tax Roadmap – will be a welcome signal to the business community that action will be taken.”
