Dispute resolution strategies

Defending your transfer pricing policies during an audit dispute

Multinational organizations need to ensure their transfer pricing policies meet regulatory requirements and must be ready to mount an audit defense, if necessary.

Transfer pricing audits can be time-consuming and drain internal resources. Taxpayers with intercompany cross-border transactions should have a coordinated dispute resolution strategy in place that includes managing the audit process.

Significant tax implications can make resolving potential disputes with tax authorities extremely difficult. As a result, in-depth knowledge of the CRA’s policies and an understanding of the options available to minimize disruptive audits are vital components of any effective dispute resolution strategy.
