Breakfast at Alder & Sound's:
Transfer pricing of intangibles, November 30, 2011

kuppi_lnIn late November, a room full of interested professionals gathered to Sylvi hall in Hotel Presidentti to hear Alder & Sound’s expert lecture on transfer pricing of intangible rights.

As an increasing share of multinational enterprises’ value consists of intangible rights, it is not surprising that they together with related royalties are often used for tax planning purposes. The Finnish Tax Administration has publicly declared that transfer pricing of intangibles will be on focus during tax audits, and also OECD is updating its transfer pricing guidelines regarding intangibles.

Perhaps due to the importance of the subject, our Breakfast attracted listeners for almost every seat, and the atmosphere was warm and open for interesting discussions.
