During this webinar, TPA Global will present cases it is working on using the following steps:

What would third parties do?
– Measuring Covid-19 impacts (sensitivity analysis)
– Change of business model

When taking these steps, TPA Global will be presenting the minimum audit trail tax authorities will expect. Mostly external factors will drive changes in the business model, for which cases enough evidence would be available in the public domain. Without a business model change, a modification of transfer pricing system and benchmarking used will require a relatively heavy and technical audit trail.
