This entails developing TP strategies and providing assistance in meeting
documentation and compliance requirements by assisting in the preparation of contemporaneous documentation in a timely manner, as required under the Indian TP regulations. In addition, it involves reviewing existing documentation and/or global documentation from an Indian TP perspective. Further, to ensure compliance, we can assist clients in preparing guidelines and procedures to keep their documentation up to date.

Detailed description

As tax jurisdictions expand their legislation, rulings, and enforcement efforts, an effective and flexible TP strategy must be global and sufficiently flexible to adapt as your business develops.

TP Planning
