Technical Workshops 2026
This workshop will focus on the practical approach adopted by tax authorities in key jurisdictions during transfer pricing audits, highlighting the most common areas of scrutiny and challenge. Lessons learned from our local experience will provide a practical blueprint multinational groups can extrapolate and apply when preparing for audits and localising group transfer pricing documentation across different jurisdictions. We will discuss typical issues such as functional recharacterisation, challenges to benchmark analyses, intercompany services, financial transactions, and the consistency between contracts and actual conduct. Particular attention will be given to how taxpayers can effectively navigate audit defence strategies, manage interactions with tax authorities, and mitigate exposure through robust and well-prepared TP documentation. The session will also explore the strategic importance of aligning Local Files, Master Files, and supporting evidence to strengthen the overall defence position.
