TRANSFER PRICING DOCUMENTATION
tp2 routinely helps its clients develop transfer pricing policies to meet statutory requirements in line with the rules and regulations in different jurisdictions. In a recent case, we helped a floricultural concern by creating transfer pricing policies for both the Kenya and UK entities. Each of these policies was prepared from a unique country perspective.
Interestingly, an Altus Alliance member firm in South America was able to provide us with data on comparable cut flower growers in South America, including significant Balance Sheet data that allowed us to incorporate working capital adjustments to improve the comparability of comparables acquired.
In addition, we are well paced to make country risk adjustments (say, wage/labour rate adjustments) to improve the comparability of data used.
