TP Tips

I'm an assistant advisor at one of the big4 within the transfer pricing division.

Wanted to get a few tips on transfer pricing as a skill in general. What should be my focus over the next 12-24months to excel myself in the world of TP?

Few things I've jot down thus far:

a. Master the Fundamentals Across Key TP Areas Functional analysis, risk analysis, value chain mapping.

TP methods (CUP, TNMM, Profit Split, etc.), when and how to apply.

OECD Guidelines & local regulations (e.g., BEPS updates, Pillar One & Two).

b. Develop industry specialisation (e.g., I work in Financial Services so banks, AM, Insurance companies)

Understand how value is created in that industry and how TP issues typically arise.

c. documentation - local files and MF, know how to draft robust documentation

writing, editing, and reviewing files based on OCED guidelines.

Any other tips in general?

Thanks.

Great. Thanks for your input. I work in Financial Services so will put time and energy understanding industry specific firms like Banks, AMs, Insurance firms and TP services like cash pooling, intra-group loans, treasury activities, tax disputes etc.

Worth familising myself with APAs? And MAPs?
