Programme Synopsis
The myth that using the “cost plus 5% mark-up” practice for any intra-group service transaction makes an organisation compliant with transfer pricing regulations runs deep and is widely followed, but is ultimately erroneous.

Participants will gain practical tips to manage a company’s transfer pricing policy and processes with regard to intra-group services transactions.
These include comprehending the value chain analysis, what to conduct in order to proceed with a proper services transaction: benefit tests, analysis of cost, determining appropriate mark-up through benchmarking, and implementing service charge uniformly. Come gain practical insights through various case studies to better understand the TP risks and learn how to better manage your client’s / company’s TP affairs.
