A perfect fit
The tax authorities of OECD countries are becoming increasingly aware of how their tax proceeds are affected by the transfer prices multinationals use. As a result, national transfer pricing rules are becoming more stringent: tax authorities enterprises are demanding extensive documentation and can impose stiff penalties for failing to comply with these requirements. The same trend has been observed in the Netherlands.
How can KPMG Meijburg & Co assist you?
If your enterprise performs cross-border services or supplies, the question that automatically arises is whether the transfer prices used are at arm's length and whether they satisfy the documentation requirements in this respect. KPMG Meijburg & Co advises and supports you in addressing these questions, before, during, or after a confrontation with the Dutch Revenue. The following elements may play a role in this respect:
- designing, implementing, and documenting transfer pricing structures and models
- performing benchmark studies
- assessing whether documentation requirements are being met
- determining the value of assets and enterprises (or shares) for tax purposes
- setting prices upon the centralization of shared services/performing supply chain analyses
- providing support during audits, discussions with the Dutch Revenue, and dispute resolution
- concluding Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) with the Dutch Revenue as a form of alternative dispute resolution
- handling tax litigation

Based on these analyses, we will advise you on the actions that must be taken in order to achieve an optimum tax position.
