The different treatment of goodwill and ongoing concern value within the OECD Guidelines and the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is the main focus of the thesis.

While the core analysis highlights and discusses the discrepancies of the different definitions and the legal risks that arise through that, another focus is to provide the reader with an outline on the importance of a plain and proper definition of intangibles for transfer pricing purposes. (Less)
