Economic design
We establish where value is created within the group, where the key decisions are made and which risks are effectively assumed. That analysis defines the return that corresponds to each entity.
We design transfer pricing policies for groups with operations in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other Latin American countries, and we prepare the documentation that defends them in each jurisdiction.
Order of work
We establish where value is created within the group, where the key decisions are made and which risks are effectively assumed. That analysis defines the return that corresponds to each entity.
We define the functional structure, the flows and the agreements between entities, on a consistent basis across the region. An efficient structure is only useful if it withstands a tax audit.
Only at this stage do methods, comparability analyses, adjustments and ranges come into play. The data validate the economic rationale defined in the previous stages.
The policy must be capable of being explained to any tax administration in the region, applied consistently in each financial year and adapted as the business grows.
Documentation confirms a decision already made. It does not replace it.
Approach
Before proposing a policy we analyze the group's operations in detail: what functions each entity performs, what assets it uses and what risks it assumes. That analysis produces the economic rationale, and the rationale produces the documentation each jurisdiction requires.
Every engagement is led by a partner from beginning to end. Determining the return that corresponds to each entity requires knowing and understanding the business of the group in detail, and that work is neither delegated nor resolved with a standard format.
In most groups the transfer pricing policy was never deliberately decided. It accumulated year after year, on the basis of what the previous provider did.
