Transfer Pricing

The focus on transfer pricing has sharpened due to current developments within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the European Union and local jurisdictions. Countries now increasingly have stricter requirements for transfer pricing documentation and tax authorities vigilantly enforce these new requirements.

Hands-on approach and tailor-made answers

Multinational transfer pricing has tax advantages, but regulatory authorities frown upon using transfer pricing for tax avoidance. We can help you to operate optimally within the regulations. Benefit from our integrated tax and legal expertise and comprehensive transfer pricing knowledge. Our main service areas include:

• Documentation
• Planning and strategy

Documentation

Transfer pricing is closely monitored within a company’s financial reporting and requires strict documentation in master files, local files and country-by-country reporting. If transactions are found to be inappropriately documented, you may incur additional expenses in the form of added taxes and penalties.
