Transfer Pricing

Transfer pricing is one of the most significant tax issues facing multinational corporations.

  • The growing number of countries joining the United States in examining and regulating intracompany activity make it impossible to address transfer pricing issues without expert guidance.
  • An increased focus on intangibles as a means to transfer profits creates increasingly difficult valuation issues.
  • New IRS regulations affect the pricing of intracompany services and cost-sharing arrangements.
  • The expanding reach of multinationals, combined with increased tax authority scrutiny, requires a comprehensive approach to transfer pricing issues that may span dozens of countries and legal entities.
