To deliver a high quality service, a combination of local and international databases is used by our transfer pricing team in the course of our projects. From the information available in these databases, comparable transactions entered into by independent third parties and companies undertaking similar functions, bearing similar risks and possessing similar assets as the tested party can be identified.
For the application of profit-based methods, manufacturers, service providers and distributors whose business activity is similar to the tested party’s can be identified with the use of AMADEUS, which is an internationally well-known database used by both taxpayers and tax authorities. The AMADEUS database contains not only industry-specific but also financial information about European companies.
For the transfer pricing analysis of intercompany loans, our team-members use several international databases. To estimate the affiliated borrower’s creditworthiness, we use a credit-rating software programme developed by an international rating agency. Money market and capital market information are also available in our databases.
Our transfer pricing consultants will be glad to assist you with the development of your firm’s transfer pricing policy or with the preparation of its transfer pricing documentation, to reduce transfer pricing risks.
