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.”
