“Transfer pricing is often seen as a compliance activity that is reviewed just to keep tax authorities happy. In truth, transfer pricing is at the heart of every business and its supply chain. As advisers, we need a strong understanding of how each business operates. Getting to know the details and nuances of a client’s supply chain is one of the most rewarding aspects of the role and helps us offer focused support.”
