The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit rejected the Department of Justice’s request to reconsider an October ruling regarding 3M Co.'s transfer pricing tax liability. The DOJ sought a rehearing by a three-judge panel or the full court, arguing that the prior decision misinterpreted Section 482 of the tax code and could negatively impact the US tax base. The case concerns royalties from 3M’s Brazilian subsidiary and the “arms length” principle of transfer pricing.
