Collections

Topics

Reading paths rather than an index. Each collection sequences terms in the order a practitioner actually needs them.

Core principles

5 terms

The arm's length principle, associated enterprises, and comparability sit underneath every method, every benchmark, and every dispute. Start here before anything else.

Pricing methods

6 terms

There is no ranking of methods in isolation — there is a most appropriate method for a given transaction, given the functional analysis and the reliability of available comparables.

Documentation & compliance

6 terms

The three-tiered documentation standard introduced by BEPS Action 13 is now the compliance backbone in most jurisdictions. Penalty protection usually depends on getting the timing right, not just the content.

Intangibles & financing

5 terms

Where the largest adjustments come from. Value follows functions, assets, and risks — not legal ownership of an intangible or the label on a funding instrument.

Controversy & certainty

6 terms

Transfer pricing is a forecast that gets tested years later. This is the toolkit for defending it, and for buying certainty in advance.
