Transfer Pricing

Clients benefit from both, management experience and Transfer Pricing  expertise

Successfully resolving transfer pricing challenges requires a holistic approach to the group’s business and balancing often diverging interests within the integrated group (i.e., between entities and divisions, …). Clients benefit from a unique combination of transfer pricing expertise and management experience employed to arrive at solutions meeting both, business and tax requirements.

The service offering Transfer Pricing covers:

  • transactions with tangible property
  • transactions with intangible property
  • services rendered between group companies

Documenting existing Transfer Pricing Systems

The mandatory documentation is created from scratch or adjusted to the changing requirements. Significant adjustments may be necessary

  • to comply with changing legal requirements;
  • to adjust the strategy to major changes in the relevant markets
  • to support changes in both, business and decision processes.

Experience suggests that revising an existing documentation to comply with the master file / local file structure and the CbC reporting may also lead to transfer pricing policy adjustments. Such opinions may be part of the transfer pricing documentation.
