Recent developments in transfer pricing
Multinational groups operating centralized business models are encountering new challenges in the post-BEPS, post-pandemic era to align their global value chains and transfer pricing arrangements. At the same time, pressures to be closer to sourcing, markets, and talent are driving multinational groups towards a less centralized, multi-hub model. Government restrictions and sanctions resulting from geopolitical instability contribute to an already complex landscape.
What steps do multinational groups need to take to maintain or revise their transfer pricing arrangements in this environment?
