Benchmark analyses for transfer pricing – free initial consultation
Enhancing Transfer Pricing with Our Benchmark Analyses
Our benchmark analyses provide reference values for testing or setting transfer prices. The results can be used for arm's length analysis as well as a key element for complying with local transfer pricing documentation requirements in the countries covered by the analysis. The search strategy prepared by us in consultation with you will be used for searching publicly available databases of Bureau van Dijk in order to identify companies with a functional and risk profile comparable to your tested party.

Questions and answers
There is a delay of approx. one year from when the comparative data are entered into the database; this means, for example, reliable data should be available for 2017 in early 2019.
This is due to the data availability in the individual countries. It is often not possible to obtain a sufficient number of comparable companies from one country in order to prepare a local benchmark analysis. Therefore, pan-regional benchmark analyses are often prepared due to comparable conditions within individual regions, such as in the EU single market.
According to the OECD, a benchmark analysis can be updated in the subsequent two years by a „Financial Update“. This Financial Update involves only updating the financial figures of the benchmark companies for the new timeframe as well as checking the independence of the benchmark companies. The OECD states that a new study must be prepared for the third year.
Your competitors are often multinational enterprises whose margins are affected by transfer prices. We look for independent companies. Therefore, you will not find your competitors in our benchmarks if they are multinational enterprises.
This is in 95% of the cases due to data availability. Availability is better in some countries than in others.
