Transfer prices

As an internationally positioned company, you are familiar with the issue: when it comes to transfer pricing, you are confronted with extremely complex and extensive tasks that also have an impact on non-tax areas.

The cross-border exchange of goods and services within corporate groups is steadily increasing. The potential for structuring is great, but the risk of double taxation is even greater. Due to the inconsistent international application of the arm’s length principle and the battle for tax revenue, companies regularly face major challenges. In addition, value chains are changing at an unprecedented rate. This entails enormous tax risks. Added to this is the need to comply with documentation requirements worldwide. It is not only service relationships and the transfer prices applied that are relevant here. You must also demonstrate their appropriateness, i.e., their arm’s length nature, in a verifiable manner. Database studies are now almost unavoidable. Otherwise, you could quickly face severe penalties, not only abroad but also in Germany.
