Four steps. No surprises.
A confidential discussion
A partner listens to the situation and tells you whether there is something to do.
A clear scope and fee
Written scope, a fixed or capped fee where we can, and the partner who will do the work.
Senior analysis
The partners do the thinking: facts, economics, the law and how Inland Revenue will see it.
Advice that holds up
Documentation and advice written knowing it may one day be read by a reviewer.
Good questions.
Do we need transfer pricing documentation from year one?
If there are material transactions with the parent, yes. It is far simpler to set the policy and document it from the start than to reconstruct it later.
Often needed together.
Let’s talk about your situation.
A confidential discussion with a partner costs nothing and usually tells you within half an hour whether there is something to do. Call Mark or Ranesh directly, or send a brief outline and we’ll come back to you within one business day.
