Mastering global transfer pricing: stay compliant, stay in control

03 March 2025

Transfer pricing is about undertaking global transactions between related parties at an arm’s length value. After the introduction of BEPS in 2016, the definition ‘at arm’s length’ was reinvigorated. It received increasing attention and with it the importance of global transfer pricing increased dramatically. This led to a sharp increase in tax audits in the field of transfer pricing. To stay in control over every aspect related to global transfer pricing, MNEs should re-evaluate their current transfer pricing policies and try to minimise their risk in the case of an audit.

The value chain analysis

A good starting point is to look at your company’s transfer pricing value chain analysis. More specifically, this reflects the value added by each service or product you as a company provide to others – recipients. When pricing these various value-added services or products, you need to look at a price which is in line with the arm’s length principle (i.e., comparable transactions), mentioned above. Such challenges require global transfer pricing solutions. Specifically for financial transactions, it can be difficult to identify suitable comparable transactions. Once the comparables are identified  and the design is in place, monitoring is required to ensure that policies are in line with the pricing of transactions. Global tax software gives you the advantage of oversight and provides for deeper insight in your financials. Besides the convenience of transferring this automatically into the required documents, Coperitas also gives you maximum control over this process.
