Transfer pricing applies to any company that transacts across borders with a related party — regardless of size or sector.

Companies transacting across borders

Transfer pricing rules apply whenever a company transacts with a related entity — a subsidiary, a parent, or a sister company — across two or more countries. This applies regardless of company size, sector, or how simple the structure looks.

Latin America & Europe

Particular depth in Latin American and European cross-border structures, with experience in LatAm-Europe corridors, multi-jurisdictional groups, and companies expanding across regions for the first time.

CEOs, business owners & finance teams

We work directly with the people making the decisions — business owners, CEOs, and finance teams. If you're not sure whether transfer pricing applies to you, start with a conversation.

Common intercompany transaction structures

Illustrative examples of cross-border related-party flows — for reference only.

Management services — illustrative intercompany structure Service Provider in Country A provides services to Operating Subsidiary in Country B and receives a service fee. COUNTRY A COUNTRY B Parent / HoldCo Common shareholder Service Provider Management · IT · HR Operating Subsidiary Beneficiary entity Services Service fee

Method: Cost plus / TNMM · Benefit test · OECD Chapter VII

Illustrative only. A parent charges a subsidiary for centralised functions. The fee must reflect what an independent third party would charge, supported by a benefit test.
Intragroup financing — illustrative intercompany structure FinanceCo in Country A lends to Operating Entity in Country B and receives arm's length interest. COUNTRY A COUNTRY B Parent / HoldCo Common shareholder FinanceCo Lender · Capital source Credit rating assessed Operating Entity Borrower Uses funds for operations Loan principal Interest (arm's length rate)

Method: CUP · Credit rating analysis · OECD Chapter X

Illustrative only. A group entity lends to an affiliate. The interest rate must reflect what an independent lender would charge a borrower with the same credit profile — determined through a bond benchmarking study.
IP licensing — illustrative intercompany structure IP Owner in Country A licenses intangibles to subsidiaries in Country B and Country C, who pay royalties. IP Owner · Country A Trademark · Patent · Software Subsidiary B Country B · Licensee Subsidiary C Country C · Licensee License License Royalty Royalty

Method: CUP / Profit split / TNMM · DEMPE analysis · OECD Chapter VI

Illustrative only. A group entity owning IP licenses its use to affiliates in exchange for a royalty. The rate must reflect the value of the intangible and the DEMPE functions performed across the group.

Starting point

Most popular first engagement

GAP Analysis

Not sure where your transfer pricing stands? A GAP Analysis is a structured diagnostic of your current intercompany structure and operations — identifying compliance gaps, pricing risks, and strategic opportunities, with a clear recommended path forward.

This is typically the entry point for new clients who have not previously addressed transfer pricing, or are expanding their operations across borders for the first time.

Request a GAP Analysis
1
Understand the current structure Map intercompany transactions, entity functions, and existing pricing arrangements across the group.
2
Identify gaps and risks Assess compliance posture, documentation gaps, and exposure to transfer pricing adjustments across each relevant jurisdiction.
3
Define the path forward Prioritised, actionable recommendations — implementable by your own team or with our continued support.

Four service areas. One senior advisor across all of them.

Each engagement is scoped to what the group actually needs — not a standard package delivered by a rotating team. Every file is personally managed from day one.

Compliance

Transfer Pricing Documentation

Local file, Master file, and Country-by-Country Reporting — prepared once and adapted efficiently across every jurisdiction the group needs to file in, with positions that hold up under scrutiny.

Economic Analyses

Benchmarking Analyses

Mark-up estimation for intragroup services and interest rate benchmarking for intercompany loan transactions — the technical foundation of any defensible transfer pricing position, and a particular area of depth here.

Leman is a boutique transfer pricing advisory practice built on the belief that the best transfer pricing work is both technically rigorous and genuinely implementable. Having spent over a decade in complex tax environments — as a Big Four advisor and as the person responsible for defending those positions in-house — we understand what actually holds up when a tax authority pushes back.

We don't produce reports that sit in a drawer. Every engagement is designed around what the business can actually execute — policies that match the operational reality, documentation that addresses the real risks, and pricing positions that are commercially coherent and legally defensible.

Engagements are delivered through Leman Tax Advisory SpA, based in Chile, with experience across Chilean transfer pricing regulations and multi-country Latin American structures.

Giacomo

Principal Advisor

Over 13 years in transfer pricing and international tax, split between Big Four consulting and senior in-house roles across Europe and Latin America. Began in transfer pricing at PwC Chile, then moved through PwC Luxembourg and KPMG Germany advising Financial Services and Private Equity clients on complex cross-border structures.

Subsequently led the global tax and transfer pricing function of a large data-technology group — including a €4b merger due-diligence, a multi-country carve-out, the pricing of all related intragroup transactions, and the post-merger harmonization of a decentralized transfer pricing model into a centralized operating structure.

Has managed transfer pricing audits and disputes with tax authorities across multiple jurisdictions globally, achieving significant reductions in tax exposure — with direct knowledge of what tax authorities look for and how defensible positions are actually built.
