Transfer Pricing: business restructuring webinar

17 June | 14:00 - 15:00 CET
Multinational companies restructuring is a frequent and hot topic closely followed by the OECD.

Due to Covid-19, multinational companies might have to adapt the way they do business and restructure their organisation, including their supply chain. Such reorganisation may involve the transfer of valuable intangible assets to other countries and, or lead to a change in the functional profile of certain entities. This can raise complex local taxation and transfer pricing issues.
