Minimize your risk exposure

Multinational corporations face complex tax issues, and transfer pricing—the practice of establishing arm's length prices for related party cross-border transactions—is becoming increasingly important.

Global tax authorities continue to enact legislation to ensure taxpayers uphold the arm’s length principle in all related-party transactions. Stricter penalties, new documentation requirements, increased information exchange and better trained audit staff make transfer pricing a more contentious issue. Is your organization prepared?
