Kevin Kenworthy's remarks during the Parker C. Fielder Oil and Gas Tax Conference in Houston, TX on November 19, 2015, were quoted in Tax Notes Today. Kenworthy participated in a panel discussion titled "Current International Tax Issues for the General Tax Practitioner," with Internal Revenue Service Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Anne Devereaux. Panelists discussed the OECD's base erosion and profit-shifting final report on transfer pricing and the impact on cost-sharing rules. If passive investors won't be allowed to earn higher, risk-adjusted returns, "that would be a significant departure" from the current rules, Kenworthy said.
