About this market

Market context

Transfer Pricing (TP) involves setting prices for goods, services, and intellectual property exchanged between related entities within a multinational enterprise. The core principle is that these transactions should be conducted at arm's length, as if between independent parties, to prevent artificial profit shifting.

In London, Transfer Pricing is governed by HMRC regulations largely aligned with OECD guidelines, notably the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations. Companies exceeding certain thresholds (e.g., turnover above £200 million or balance sheet total above £2 billion) are subject to increased scrutiny and documentation requirements, necessitating Master File and Local File preparation. HMRC's approach is increasingly robust, with a focus on functional analysis, risk assessment, and demonstrable value creation within the UK.

What's driving demand

Increased HMRC scrutiny and compliance checks
Complex global supply chains of multinational corporations headquartered in or operating through London
Ongoing BEPS 2.0 implementation and Pillar One/Two developments impacting profit allocation
Digitalisation of the economy and challenges in valuing intangible assets
