Transfer Pricing Policy Benchmarking
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a complete transfer-pricing package that keeps my group fully compliant with current tax regulations. The assignment covers two parts that must fit together seamlessly: first, a clear, defensible transfer-pricing policy; second, a benchmarking study that proves our intercompany prices are arm’s-length.
Scope
• Regions in focus: Europe, Asia and the Gulf states.
• Goal: strict compliance—no profit-shifting or cost-plus tweaks beyond what local rules allow.
• Guidance and sources: OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, local legislation, and recognised databases such as Orbis, TP Catalyst or Bloomberg BNA. Please use whichever combination gives the strongest set of comparables and keep a record of every search filter.
Deliverables
1. Policy document that explains our methodology, functional analysis, and pricing models in plain language my finance team can follow.
2. Benchmarking report with: selection criteria, screened comparable sets, interquartile ranges, and clear conclusions on arm’s-length results by region.
3. Excel files or equivalent showing raw data pulls and calculations for full audit-trail transparency.
Acceptance criteria
• Each region shows at least one robust TNMM or CUP analysis backed by three-year financials.
• Adjustments (working-capital, R&D, etc.) are justified and reconciled.
• Final documents withstand a revenue-authority review without further clarification.
Turnaround within four weeks is ideal, but let me know if an extra week materially improves data quality.
