    (a) Transfer Pricing Rules.--The Secretary of the Treasury or the

of current transfer pricing rules and compliance efforts in ensuring 
that cross-border transfers and other related-party transactions, 
particularly transactions involving intangible assets, service 
contracts, or leases cannot be used improperly to shift income out of 
the United States. The study shall include a review of the 
contemporaneous documentation and penalty rules under section 6662 of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a review of the regulatory and 
administrative guidance implementing the principles of section 482 of 
such Code to transactions involving intangible property and services 
and to cost-sharing arrangements, and an examination of whether 
increased disclosure of cross-border transactions should be required. 
The study shall set forth specific recommendations to address all 
abuses identified in the study. Not later than June 30, 2004, such 
Secretary or delegate shall submit to the Congress a report of such 
study.
    (b) Income Tax Treaties.--The Secretary of the Treasury or the

transaction understatement for any taxable year, there shall be added 
to the tax an amount equal to 20 percent of the amount of such 
understatement.

section--

        understatement' means the sum of--

                        in taxable income which results from a 
                        difference between the proper tax treatment of 
                        an item to which this section applies and the 
                        taxpayer's treatment of such item (as shown on 
                        the taxpayer's return of tax), and

                treatment of an item to which this section applies (as 
                shown on the taxpayer's return of tax) and the proper 
                tax treatment of such item.
        For purposes of subparagraph (A), any reduction of the excess 
        of deductions allowed for the taxable year over gross income 
        for such year, and any reduction in the amount of capital 
        losses which would (without regard to section 1211) be allowed

        income.

                without regard to this paragraph) shall be increased by 
                the aggregate amount of reportable transaction 
                understatements for purposes of determining whether 
                such understatement is a substantial understatement 
                under section 6662(d)(1), and
                    ``(B) the addition to tax under section 6662(a)

                substantial understatement (if any) after the 
                application of subparagraph (A) over the aggregate 
                amount of reportable transaction understatements.

                including references to a reportable transaction 
                understatement.

                apply to any portion of an understatement on which a 
                penalty is imposed under section 6663.''

        in regulations, in no event shall any tax treatment included 
        with an amendment or supplement to a return of tax be taken 
        into account in determining the amount of any reportable 
        transaction understatement if the amendment or supplement is 
        filed after the earlier of the date the taxpayer is first 
        contacted by the Secretary regarding the examination of the 
        return or such other date as is specified by the Secretary.''

section 6662(d)(2) is amended by adding at the end the following flush 
sentence:
                ``The excess under the preceding sentence shall be 
                determined without regard to items to which section 
                6662A applies.''

        in good faith with respect to such portion.
