International Transfer Pricing Documentation & Analysis
Document intercompany transactions using OECD guidelines and local tax rules
What You Can Do
You can build comprehensive, jurisdiction-specific transfer pricing documentation for intercompany transactions including management fees, royalties, financing arrangements, and cost allocations. Claude analyzes transaction economics, applies appropriate transfer pricing methods (comparable uncontrolled price, cost plus, resale price, etc.), and generates contemporaneous documentation that withstands audit scrutiny and supports mutual agreement procedures across borders.
Features
Evaluate functional analysis, economic circumstances, and contractual terms to establish economic substance for intercompany pricing
Identify and apply OECD-compliant methods (CUP, cost-plus, resale price, profit-split, transactional net margin) based on transaction type and data availability
Generate comparable company analysis using public databases and economic indicators to support arm's length pricing positions
Tailor documentation to local requirements across countries (EU country-by-country reporting, US transfer pricing documentation, Australian safe harbor rules, etc.)
Structure contemporaneous documentation with executive summaries, supporting schedules, and legal-grade defensibility for tax authority review
Build master file documentation establishing transfer pricing policies for ongoing related-party transactions
Identify high-risk transfer pricing positions and provide substance-over-form analysis to reduce exposure to primary assessments and penalties
