Exploring Transfer Pricing

Show Notes

From development to exploitation, refining our understanding of DEMPE in transfer pricing.

Dive into the ever-changing world of DEMPE (Development, Enhancement, Maintenance, Protection and Exploitation) in this episode of the KPMG TaxRadio podcast Exploring Transfer Pricing, where we reflect on insights from the DEMPE session during the KPMG 2024 U.S. Cross-Border Tax Conference. Building on the results of our live survey with a diverse group of tax professionals representing multinational enterprises, we explore their perspectives and potential trends, offering a comprehensive and insightful view of the current and future state of transfer pricing. What are the key challenges companies face when integrating new acquisitions or managing dispersed senior management? How do different tax authorities mold DEMPE with their unique interpretations? And what strategies can businesses employ to mitigate risks and prepare for potential audits?

Join our host, Brittany Hardin Tanguay, alongside Jack O'Meara and Prita Subramanian, both Principals in the KPMG U.S. Washington National Tax Practice, as they answer these questions and unpack the results of a recent survey conducted at the KPMG 2024 U.S. Cross-Border Tax Conference.
