Transfer pricing Cycle
Transfer pricing documentation is an important part of being compliant with local rules and regulations. Being fully compliant starts with defining the transfer pricing strategy and ends with the implementation of the defined transfer pricing methods and ensuring the actual results fall within the defined (interquartile) range.
Based on your current structure and processes we define and develop a strategy which strengthens the efficiency and tax control framework.
The information included in your transfer pricing documentation needs to be aligned with the (f)actual situation, realized result on intercompany transactions need to be aligned with the defined arms’ length price described in the documentation.
DEMPE
Intangibles are of critical significance for multinational enterprises from a business, operational and tax perspective.
Under the arm’s length principle, each member of the multinational enterprise group should receive arm’s length compensation for the functions performed, assets used, and risks assumed.
In cases involving intangibles, this includes functions related to the Development, Enhancement, Maintenance, Protection, and Exploitation of intangibles (DEMPE). DEMPE is a analysis designed to ensure that allocation of the returns from the exploitation of intangibles, and also allocation of costs related to intangibles, is at arms’ length.
