Exposure is nearly universal; readiness is not

Transfer pricing exposure is now the rule, not the exception. Tax authorities are looking harder at intragroup transactions, for three reasons:

BEPS 2.0 (Pillars One and Two).
Tax authorities now exchange information routinely.
Documentation requirements keep growing, and penalties are getting steeper.

For CFOs and tax leaders, the question is no longer whether the group is exposed, but how prepared it is.

To answer that, Baker Tilly surveyed multinational groups across Europe and Latin America. All of them have cross-border intragroup transactions, and they cover a wide range of industries. The results show readiness that is uneven and, on average, insufficient:

Exposure without a policy: more than 9 in 10 companies confirm they are exposed to transfer pricing (TP), but over half have no documented TP policy.
Outsourced, not built in-house: nearly 9 in 10 rely on external advisors, but fewer than half have specialised internal TP resources.
Confidence is not compliance: how much companies think they know about TP has almost nothing to do with what they actually do in practice.

The study also shows that geography, sector and company size do not decide how prepared a company is. Three specific governance choices do.

In this webinar, João Aranha, María Ángeles Mariñas and Agustín Espino will cover:

The key findings of the study.
The gaps a tax inspector would look at first.
A practical action plan.
A readiness checklist you can use to assess your own organisation, before the risk turns real.
