How KPMG can help
We help global businesses like yours prioritise limited resources every day. Here’s how we do it:
We adopt a forensic approach to understanding your business model and the drivers of business performance to ensure that transfer prices are aligned with commercial circumstances - the best form of defence against challenge from tax authorities.
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.
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.
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.
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 authorities.
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.
Our team includes experienced economists who bring unique insights to both transfer pricing issues and economic valuations.
For our economic valuation work, we combine in-depth knowledge of transfer pricing regulations and valuation concepts to produce economically supportable transfer pricing studies specifically for your circumstance.
