Partnering With Accountants

Partnering With Accountants.

It’s important to use the right professional for the right job with the right level of expertise.

We’ve been operating as Transfer Pricing specialists for more than 25 years. TP is what we do. Whilst we are also accountants by trade, we operate solely in the TP space. We live and breathe TP. Which means we can help you best service your clients and ensure they remain confident that you’ll manage their tax obligations with their best interests at heart.

We’ll work together with you and your client for the best outcomes.

I'm already an accountant. Why would I need a Transfer Pricing consultant?

Transfer Pricing is highly specialised. Unless you are a trained Transfer Pricing (TP) specialist you should not be managing your clients' TP requirements yourself.
You run the risk of not servicing your clients’ TP needs, missing crucial deadlines, and costing your client more money.

All our team members have dedicated experience in transfer pricing with world’s leading accounting firms. Our transfer pricing practitioners also have extensive experience in different jurisdictions including US, Europe, Malaysia and South East Asia, Australia and the rest of the Asia Pacific Region.

Firm director Shannon Smit is recognized for her technical expertise at the highest levels, both in Australia and Internationally with her appointment to the Australian Governments Board of Taxation Advisory Panel and also winner of the Asia Pacific Transfer Pricing Leader of the Year at the highly acclaimed Asia Tax Awards.

What are our risks if TP is not done properly?

The main risk associated with lack of transfer pricing planning and documentation is the potential transfer pricing adjustment due to mispricing, non compliance penalties and ATO deny of year-end or retrospective adjustments. This becomes a risk to you in maintaining your client relationships.

Proper documentation or review of prices is recommended to successfully defend your position in front of the ATO. TP Documentation prepared at the time after the lodgement of the tax return will not be accepted by the ATO as contemporaneous.
