Clients benefit from Stage 2 of KPMG’s TP Lifecycle with the setup of a sustainable transfer pricing system. The planning stage allows you to align the profit attribution resulting from your transfer pricing system with the value contribution of individual entities. The need for planning may be triggered by changes in the business model (e.g. centralization of certain activities), regulatory developments, activities in the M&A area, or the expansion of the group with new entities.

Transfer prices should best support the operational business. At the same time, aspects such as global tax burden, regulatory requirements, compliance, as well as the operational day-to-day management of the transfer prices need to be taken into account.

Transfer pricing has become much more complex in view of the ongoing digitalization, new business models and increasing transparency. Multinational groups need a partner that provides guidance through this complexity.
