Summary:

In response to a request by the Ministry of Public Finance (MFP) of Guatemala, a remote technical assistance mission was carried out by the Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from March 7 to 21, 2022, to analyze certain international aspects of the country’s tax regime. Discussions focused on treaties for the avoidance of double taxation and their effectiveness in attracting foreign direct investment, transfer pricing regulations, and the implications for Guatemala of the minimum standards agreed by the tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project backed by the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
