TRANSFER PRICING

Defensible intercompany pricing, built to OECD and BEPS standards

Transfer pricing is where tax authorities look first. Montclare designs and documents the pricing of transactions between related entities so it is benchmarked, documented and commercially coherent — able to withstand scrutiny in the jurisdictions where the group operates.

WHY MONTCLARE

Structuring and pricing under one roof

Most firms either structure or price. Montclare does both — so your transfer pricing is consistent with your holding structure, your substance and your tax position across the Netherlands, Spain and beyond. One coherent narrative, not three disconnected opinions.

SELECTED MANDATE

Selected transfer pricing mandate

Multi-entity software group · Intercompany transfer pricing
SITUATION

An international software group with a holding company, an IP-owning entity and local commercial and delivery arms faced an unclear question: not only where profit sat, but how each company was remunerated for the functions it actually performed.

WHAT WE DID

We reviewed the functions, assets and risks across each entity and helped define an intercompany pricing framework, advising that software licensing, maintenance, support, platform access and brand rights be separated rather than bundled into one generic royalty line, coordinating specialist transfer pricing advisers where benchmarking was required.

OUTCOME

A clearer, DEMPE-aligned intercompany framework with a stronger documentary trail and reduced risk of unsupported profit shifting, where supporting conditions and local documentation requirements are met.

The Transfer Pricing Readiness Check

Ten questions that reveal, in three minutes, whether your intercompany pricing would survive scrutiny. In the Netherlands, Article 8b requires every company with related-party transactions to price them at arm’s length — and to document how — regardless of size.

FURTHER MANDATES

We do not name clients. Discretion is part of the service.

B2B SaaS scale-up · Intercompany policy and documentation

A B2B software group with recurring revenue, between thirty and one hundred employees and customers across several markets, operated through a European parent and local commercial subsidiaries. Management fees, operational support, funding, commercial functions and the use of intangibles all moved between entities. Very little of it was documented.

Outcome. The group holds a defensible intercompany policy aligned with OECD standards. The objective was never to reduce tax artificially; it was to remove the risk of adjustment. In a group operating across several jurisdictions, a properly supported policy materially lowers exposure to adjustments, penalties and double taxation.
