About This Course

You probably heard about multinationals' tax avoidance, tax heavens and cross-border profit-shifting. In the last decade, many MNEs were accused of tax dodging - often, using something called "transfer pricing". But is transfer pricing bad? What is it, actually?

The course gives an overview of international transfer pricing rules and principles and covers the following topics:

  1. What is transfer pricing?
  2. Why is it relevant from tax and managerial perspectives?
  3. How multinationals can use transfer pricing for tax avoidance?
  4. What are transfer pricing rules?
  5. What is the arm's length principle and where it comes from?

The course will be useful for every finance, accounting and tax professional who wants to understand what transfer pricing is about and where modern transfer pricing rules come from. The course is not country-specific, as the principles explained in the course are universal around the world.

I am an international tax professional with more than seven years' experience in transfer pricing. I started my career at KPMG and moved to Royal Dutch Shell in 2016. Currently, I manage the team supporting the MNE's transfer pricing matters worldwide, including transfer pricing documentation, audits, and APAs. I often lecture on transfer pricing. I have been delivering specialized seminars and lectures since 2014 and have developed several onboarding programs for new colleagues with different backgrounds. In 2020, I wrote a book on transfer pricing to help students with understanding this exciting area of international tax. I also created a comprehensive transfer pricing course under the brand of StarTax Education. www.startaxed.com
