Transfer Pricing: Transfer pricing regulations were initiated in order to prevent companies taking part in unlawful tax competition in the international arena and to prevent corrosion of tax assessments related to the group companies’ trades of goods and services. Parallel to the development of international trade, transfer pricing has become a matter of priority for every country. A career within Transfer Pricing services, will provide you with the opportunity to help our clients develop compliant, tax efficient structures that help advance their business goals. Our team is responsible for all aspects of intercompany pricing arrangements between related business entities, including transfers of intellectual property, transfers of tangible goods, services and loans, and other transactions. 

 Tax Due Diligence: Our experience indicates that identified tax risks can have a significant impact on the market value of the target company and might constitute a crucial argument in price negotiation process for an M&A project.
