Comprehensive Transfer Pricing Training
A five-day programme on pricing intercompany transactions between related entities, covering the arm's length principle, the OECD transfer pricing methods, functional and comparability analysis, benchmarking and documentation, special topics such as intangibles and financial transactions, and audit defence.
Introduction
Comprehensive Transfer Pricing Training Course builds the technical and documentation capability that tax, finance, and advisory professionals need to price intercompany transactions defensibly. Transfer pricing sits at the intersection of tax law, economics, and financial reporting, and it carries some of the largest adjustment risks in corporate taxation. Multinational groups face audit scrutiny on pricing, benchmarking, and documentation quality across every jurisdiction they operate in. This course develops the capability that withstands that scrutiny. It covers the arm's length principle, the OECD methods, and BEPS Action 13. Furthermore, it applies benchmarking, comparability analysis, and documentation design. In addition, it develops dispute resolution, advance pricing agreements, and audit defence. As a result, participants set and defend intercompany prices with confidence.
