What is a benchmarking study?
A benchmarking study involves searching for and analyzing independent companies or transactions that are comparable to your business's intercompany transactions. This is used to prove to tax authorities that your pricing aligns with the arm's length principle.
Why is economic analysis important for Transfer Pricing?
It provides the objective, empirical evidence required by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and international bodies to justify how profits are allocated within a multinational group based on the functions performed, assets used, and risks assumed.
What databases do you use for benchmarking?
We leverage premium, industry-leading global financial databases that provide access to millions of public and private company records worldwide, ensuring our studies meet the rigorous standards of international tax authorities.
