Transfer pricing - a burning issue on multiple, converging fronts.

fr en

While globalisation and the continued growth of international trade have made inter-company pricing an everyday necessity for many businesses, the drumbeat of new regulations, audits, enforcement actions - and sharply higher penalties - continues to grow louder. In an era of fiscal shortfalls, tax authorities see transfer pricing as a soft target, and more and more countries are implementing new transfer pricing documentation requirements. In this context, PwC released an easy-to-use reference guide covering a range of transfer pricing issues in nearly 100 countries worldwide.

The stakes are high

There have continued to be significant changes in the area of transfer pricing, with several new countries implementing either formal or informal transfer pricing documentation requirements and significant regulatory changes in many other countries over the past twelve months. Most significantly, the deliverables released as part of BEPS have resulted in the need for companies to re-evaluate and reconsider their transfer pricing strategies in light of the proposed new guidance.

Loek de Preter, partner and Transfer pricing Leader at PwC Luxembourg, commented on designing transfer pricing policies: “Every company should have a coherent transfer pricing policy which is responsive to the rapidly changing markets in which they operate. By implementing sound transfer pricing policies, reassessing them regularly can produce huge benefits in the form of a competitive and sustainable tax rate, and leave the company well positioned to defend against aggressive tax audits.”

International Transfer Pricing 2015/16 is available on PwC Luxembourg website and on the App Transfer Pricing to go.
