how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

6. Amendments by Finance Act,
2012
Finance Act, 2012 introduced TP provisions to ‘specified
domestic transactions’ (SDT)
Memorandum to Finance Bill: Proposals in line with SC
decision in Glaxo Smithkline [TS-47-SC-2010-TP]
Objectives as per Memorandum
Bring in objectivity in determination of income/reasonableness of
expenditure arising from domestic related party transaction
Legally enforceable obligation on assessee to maintain
documentation
Monetary threshold of aggregate transactions of Rs. 5 Cr for
avoiding unnecessary compliance & administrative burden
6
7. SC Observations in Glaxo ruling
Domestic transactions between related entities will
not be revenue neutral if
Profit shifted from profitable entity to loss-making entity
Tax arbitrage on transactions between related units due
difference in tax rates –
E.g – shifting of profits from non-SEZ unit to SEZ unit
Recommends amendments to provisions like Sec 40A
(2) and Sec 80IA(10) to empower AO to make
adjustments to the income having regard to the fair
market value of the transactions between the related
parties
7
8. SC observations in Glaxo ruling
The AO may thereafter apply any of the generally
accepted methods of determination of arm's length
price, including the methods provided under Transfer
Pricing Regulations
One of the suggestions which needs consideration is
whether the law should be amended to make it
compulsory for the taxpayer to maintain Books of
Accounts and other documents in line with Rule 10D
and whether the assessee should be required to
obtain an audit report from CA
8
10. Charging Section
Sec 92 : (2A) Any allowance for an expenditure or
interest or allocation of any cost or expense or
any income in relation to the specified domestic
transaction shall be computed having regard to
the arm's length price.

16. Units eligible for tax holiday
Deduction under Chapter VI-A, Sec. 10AA to be
computed based on ALP
ALP concept made applicable
Section 80-IA(8) /80A (6) – Inter-unit transfers
Goods/services held for the purposes of the undertaking / unit /
enterprise / eligible business transferred to any other business
carried on by assessee or vice versa, and
Consideration for such transfer does not correspond to market
value of such goods or services.
16
Unlike international
transactions, SDT can apply
even to transactions between
different units/ undertakings
of same assessee
17. Sec. 80-IA(10) – Inter company dealings
Owing to the close connection between the assessee
and any other person, the course of business between
them is so arranged that the business transacted
between them produces more than ordinary profits.
If aggregate SDT < Rs. 5 Cr, existing ‘market price/ Fair
Market Value ’/ ‘ordinary profits’ concept would apply
17
Units eligible for tax holiday
18. Ordinary profits vs ALP
Weston Knowledge Systems & Solutions (India) Pvt.
Ltd [ TS-269-ITAT-2012(HYD)]
Profit margin of unit entitled to tax holiday was more than
arm’s length margin determined in TP analysis
TPO invoked Sec 80-IA(10) & disallowed tax holiday benefit
for excess profits
ITAT deleted disallowance
Phrase “more than ordinary profits” different from ALP
AO required to show the actual ordinary profits which could
have been earned
Tweezerman (India) P. Ltd. [TS-82-ITAT-2010)(Chny)] and
Digital Equipment India Ltd. [103 TTJ 329(Bang)] relied upon
18
19. Relevant Provisions
19
Sec 92C and
Rule 10B &
10AB
Six methods for computing ALP
• Safe harbour provisions applicable
Sec. 92CA(2) Reference to TPO
• Extended assessment timelines apply
Sec 92D and
Rule 10D
Maintenance of Contemporaneous
Documentation
Sec 92E and
Rule 10E
Accountant’s Report
•Revised Form 3CEB yet to be notified
20. Reference to TPO
For international transactions, AO must mandatorily
refer all transactions to TPO if value exceeds Rs. 5
crores
CBDT may issue similar instruction for specified domestic
transactions.
TPO’s powers to determine ALP of
Transaction not referred by AO – restricted to international
transaction – SDT not covered
Transaction not disclosed in Form 3CEB – SDT not covered
20
21. Key differences
Income transactions in non-tax holiday unit not
subject to domestic TP

Rs 5 Cr)
For international transactions, documentation not required if

introduced arm’s length concept for related party
transactions (RPT)
Various approvals required from Board of Directors/
shareholders not applicable if the RPT entered on
arm’s length basis & in ordinary course of business
