Overview

Transfer pricing has become a significant problem with multinationals in developed and developing countries. Revenue services are becoming more skilled in transfer pricing, and every year there is a dramatic increase in companies being required to engage with revenue services on transfer pricing issues.

This is a unique programme offered by the Academy of Tax Law in collaboration with Middlesex University to assist multinationals and tax practitioners who need to increase their skills in transfer pricing at a higher level. Developed by leading international transfer pricing specialists at both advisory and in-house levels, it provides a firm grounding on all must-know transfer pricing areas.

The central objective of this programme, which consists of 3 stages, is to provide a comprehensive grounding in all aspects of transfer pricing. The modules address the crucial issues within the sector, drawing out key points to ensure you gain a thorough understanding of the topics before completing the final exam.

Upon completion, you will thoroughly understand the fundamental transfer pricing principles. The programme will equip you to implement the general principles of transfer pricing and enable you to engage with the relevant authorities in the territories where you are currently working.
