Inbound Transfer Pricing Study
Our transfer pricing reports perform in-depth analysis of an MNE’s activities across the value chain and its market position in the US market, as well as requisite functional/risk analysis, to determine what competitive advantages/significant intangible assets the group utilizes in its US operations and to what extent the group’s US affiliate has contributed to the development thereof. In the inbound transfer pricing context, MNEs are always confronted with whether their US affiliate is allowed to operate at a loss and, if not, how profitable it needs to be. In delivering our transfer pricing reports, we spare no efforts to address such questions with confidence.
