Transfer Pricing

Transfer pricing is more critical than ever, as the delicate balance between maximising shareholder returns, managing reputational risk, and complying with a changing, complex legislative framework has never been more challenging.

Our international transfer pricing professionals advise on intellectual property (IP) migration, supply chain planning or global expansion, pre-deal due diligence, corporate restructuring and merger integration, tax authority investigations, and policy updates as a result of base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS).

We leverage our broader international tax team and global Taxand network to ensure a seamless integration, recognising that transfer pricing is a critical component to a much larger tax and commercial picture.

As a result of this breadth, along with A&M’s growth, we are expanding the tax practice rapidly at all levels and looking to recruit an Associate into the TP Tax team.  The ideal candidate will be bright, entrepreneurial, action-orientated, and hands-on.
