In the global economy multinationals increasingly see national borders as irrelevant to how they conduct their daily business and their aim is to optimise their business at the group level. This is, of course, not the case for fiscal authorities. They are increasingly aware of the manner in which transfer prices may affect tax revenues. Transfer pricing is therefore a critical issue for all multinationals, and one that requires effective global tax planning, taking into account relevant local factors. It should encompass not only the arm’s length pricing of tangible goods and services, but also transfers of intangible assets and group financing. Our local advisers, with the assistance of foreign professionals specialised in transfer pricing, can advise on the transfer pricing requirements wherever a company does business.

In particular, we provide the following services:

Transfer pricing planning using analyses of international databases, especially Amadeus

Benchmarking studies

Strategic advice on cross border transactions

Transfer pricing compliance and preparation of associated documentation

Representation in negotiations with tax authorities

Assistance - obtaining Advance Pricing Agreements

Implementation of intra-group-pricing strategies
