Abstract

We investigate two cross-border profit shifting channels used by foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Australia and assess the effectiveness of the related measures adopted by the Australian Parliament to combat base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS). Overall, we find that Australian subsidiaries of foreign MNEs used tax-induced intra-group transfer pricing and, to a lesser extent, interest expense loading to shift profit out of Australia throughout the period from 2007 to 2020. However, we find no evidence indicating that profit shifting out of Australia via the two channels has reduced after the implementation of related BEPS countermeasures in Australia from 2013.
