Transfer pricing (TP) is no longer just a topic for large multinationals. It has become a key focus area for tax authorities worldwide, as it sits at the intersection of globalization, digitalisation, and intensified tax transparency.

As businesses expand across borders and regulations tighten, understanding how profits are allocated between countries is becoming increasingly important.

This introductory course will give you the opportunity to learn the key concepts, gain an understanding of TP requirements and the specific compliance requirements in Belgium, and become familiar with the typical Belgian TP audit process.

What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of goods, services, or intellectual property exchanged between related entities within the same group - whether you are an SME or a multinational company. 

These internal prices directly impact how profits are allocated across countries and therefore where and how much tax is paid.
