Transfer Pricing

Our variety of consultation on transfer pricing

Tax authorities want to ensure profits are taxed where the value is created.  The new rules are being introduced from 2016 and they relate, in practice, to documentation and evidence that companies are complying with transfer pricing principles in whichever countries they operate. That has further increased scrutiny on transfer pricing on multinational companies.

Every international business must give its transfer pricing policy and compliance significant care and attention. Businesses should have transfer-pricing documentation in place to articulating the alignment between value creation and where profits are taxed. In addition, you should regularly review and update transfer pricing policies to reflect commercial and operational changes.

Failing to manage transfer pricing effectively and periodically can lead to:

– Tax audits and reassessments, with the potential for penalties and interest

– Double taxation in multiple territories with no relief available under tax treaties

– Costly and time-consuming dispute with tax authorities

– Reputational damage to brand and business
