Chile, as well as other countries in the region and the OECD, have increasingly adopted common criteria for valuing and supporting transfer prices of goods and services between related parties, as required by securities’ laws and regulations. This is in addition to the standards set by tax authorities in different countries demanding increasingly robust and thorough valuations to ensure that such transactions take place under market conditions.
In this context, GBA performs studies of transfer pricing with sound conceptual grounds and a broad base of precedents and values that enable its clients to demonstrate and support their contracts and transactions. Our reports are designed to meet regulatory frameworks of the countries where these transactions take place, whether they occur within a jurisdiction or across borders.
