Transfer pricing (TP) and its associated risk auditing landscape are crucial topics for international tax professionals in the Gulf States and Southeast Asia alike, due to these regions' strategic economic importance, increasing global scrutiny of tax compliance, and diverse approaches to implementing transfer pricing regulations. The introduction of corporate taxes in Gulf States countries means that TP rules have gained importance in the region, and approaches taken in Southeast Asia, where many countries have been early adopters of TP framework, provide fascinating comparison.
In this webinar, our expert speakers discuss the transfer pricing regulatory frameworks and considerations for TP audits for their
respective countries, and explore the learning opportunities for tax professionals by comparing these diverse regions.
WEBINAR FACILITATORS

involving pricing of financial transactions, business restructures and negotiation of APAs. Most recently, she has participated in TP
planning projects to implement BEPS’s Action Plan and country-by-country reporting.
Adriana Calderon, Managing Partner - Asia & Malaysia at Transfer Pricing Solutions, shares insights from the IFA APAC Conference in Tokyo, highlighting key trends in transfer pricing across Asia. She explores regional differences in approach, increasing regulatory complexity, and rising audit activity, while reflecting on the importance of global networks in fostering collaboration and shaping the future of international tax.
Malaysia’s transfer pricing framework continues to evolve, with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia applying increasing scrutiny to how multinational groups price, document and defend related‑party transactions. For businesses operating in Malaysia, transfer pricing has become a core tax risk area rather than a routine compliance exercise.
Across Asia, transfer pricing audits are becoming more frequent, more detailed and more analytically driven. Tax authorities are no longer limiting their reviews to whether documentation exists. Instead, they are interrogating whether transfer pricing outcomes genuinely align with commercial reality, operational substance and financial results over time.
