Transfer Pricing (TP)

Distance Learning Course on Business Restructuring and Valuation, TP Legislation and Guidelines, and other hot topics

How to deal with international TP risk?
TP has drawn the attention of tax authorities worldwide. New rules, documentation requirements and different interpretation given to the OECD TP guidelines by both tax authorities and multinationals have created ground for many disputes.

International Management Forum (IMF) is happy to announce a new distance learning course on Transfer Pricing. This course will focus on major TP issues and concerns that all professionals involved in the complex area of TP will face such as: Business Restructuring and Valuation, TP Legislation and Guidelines, Documentation Requirements per region and per country, TP Project and Risk management, TP (pre) Controversy Management, Design and Development of a TP Policy, types of Intercompany Transactions, Intellectual Property, Customs.

Target group
This new toplevel distance learning course has been designed to provide in depth training for financial, tax and TP professionals who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the theory and practice of TP.

The course is relevant for TP managers, (inter)national tax managers and firms, finance directors, treasurers, senior executives with an interest in the latest developments in TP and lawyers and accountants who serve their clients with TP issues and have to guide them in the ever-changing TP environment.

Note! Salary Surveys among accountants, lawyers and economists reveil that practitioners with advanced transfer pricing knowlegde often earn more than twice as much as their counterparts with equivalent education and experience who lack transfer pricing expertise.

Continuing Professional Education (CPE)
It should be noted that this course may qualify for CPE credits pursuant to the rules of a number of professional associations. Participants are encouraged to check with their professional association to determine eligibility in this respect.

Nederlandse Federatie van BelastingadviseursVoor leden van de Nederlandse Federatie van Belastingadviseurs (NFB) levert de cursus 5 studiepunten op in het kader van de verplichte Permanente Educatie.
