The Irish transfer pricing regime provides for arm’s length pricing to apply to intra-group transactions, using the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) principles.
Transfer pricing legislation has become increasingly complex. At the same time, multinational corporations are facing greater scrutiny of their tax affairs by all stakeholders. The OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) agenda has also significantly impacted transfer pricing policies.
At Grant Thornton, our transfer pricing team can help your organisation remain compliant with existing and evolving tax regulations while providing solutions tailored to meet your individual business needs.
