Transfer pricing policies are of increasing strategic importance and must stand up to the complexities of collaborating tax authorities and greater transparency driven by global tax reform.

So how do you ensure that your business is compliant, efficient and forward thinking in its approach to this increasingly vital element of tax strategy?

KPMG’s Strategic Transfer Pricing practice is dedicated to helping your international business achieve these objectives while preserving value for your business.

We design and implement transfer pricing frameworks that aligns with your business model – and we ensure this is clearly articulated in a manner that minimises dispute risk.

Our solutions are sustainable and aligned with international tax and transfer pricing guidelines and can help you achieve forward-thinking commercial objectives effectively and efficiently.

Planning

We can help your multinational business set transfer pricing policies which act as strategic tools for investment and supply chain decisions and optimise global tax efficiencies consistent with your business model and commercial objectives.
Implementation

We can support your organisation in operationalising commercially sensible transfer pricing policies and we help modify existing policies to reflect changes in local law or business circumstances.
Compliance and documentation

We can design and implement global compliance policies and procedures tailored for your circumstances, and prepare local documentation for a strong, first-line defence against tax authority challenges.
Controversy

We provide strategic and tactical support and solutions to help manage dispute risk. When tax authority challenges arise, we help your business respond with detailed, authoritative economic justifications for transfer prices, and manage competent authority negotiations, arbitration, and litigation support.

We also have extensive experience in negotiating complex Advance Pricing Agreements (APA) and Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAP) between tax authoritites.

We bring insight and experience from settling some of the largest transfer pricing cases. We collaborate with KPMG Law who offer legal advice privilege where appropriate.
Economic valuation
