Transfer Pricing & Valuation Services

It is no longer sufficient to respond to transfer pricing planning, compliance, and risk mitigation issues on a fragmented or as-needed basis.

The potential cost of not implementing and documenting “arm’s length” (i.e., appropriate) transfer pricing policies may include adjustments to taxable income, penalties, and interest.  Moreover, the administrative proceedings necessary to avoid the resulting double taxation can be lengthy and expensive in terms of both human and financial resources.

  • BEPS Masterfile and Local File Documentation
