Transfer Pricing Documentation and Compliance for Multinationals

As African revenue authorities intensify scrutiny of intercompany transactions, groups operating across borders must justify their pricing or face adjustments and penalties. This course equips finance teams to apply the arm's length principle, prepare compliant documentation and defend positions during audits. It reflects OECD guidance alongside the practical realities of tax administrations in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and beyond.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the arm's length principle and why authorities enforce it.
  • Identify related party transactions that carry transfer pricing risk.
  • Select and apply appropriate transfer pricing methods to real cases.
  • Prepare master file, local file and country by country documentation.
  • Benchmark intercompany prices using comparable data.
  • Prepare a defence file and respond to revenue authority queries.
