About this book:
Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing aims to capture the concepts and fundamental principles of transfer pricing by providing theoretical and practical knowledge on transfer pricing topics. Transfer pricing continues to be one of the most significant areas of heightened controversy in international taxation for multinational enterprises and tax administrations. Due to its far-reaching consequences, tax professionals and individual tax jurisdictions are required to understand the fundamentals of the topic, which is often caught in a maze of literature. Emerging from the joint research conducted by the WU Transfer Pricing Center at the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law at WU, Vienna University of Economics and Business, the international tax law firm L&P - Ludovici Piccone & Partners and the experiences from the annual advanced transfer pricing courses and conferences, this book acts as a manual for understanding transfer pricing principles and their practical application.
