Global Mobility & Transfer Pricing

13/07/2023

Global Mobility

International employment and global mobility are increasingly on the rise. Due to factors such as tightness of the labour market, there is an increasing demand for high-quality foreign workers in Belgian companies, but also global mobility is gaining importance for companies that want to provide services or products abroad using their own workforce. However, the organizations, self-employed individuals, and employees involved in these endeavours have to deal with complex regulations, which are also constantly changing. It has become crucial to seek proper guidance and support in this regard.

Transfer Pricing and corporate advisory

Companies that expand their international activities through a separate entity or through the set-up of a branch create added value across borders. Tax administrations are increasingly focusing on transfer pricing rules. They aim to prevent as much as possible the shifting of taxable profits to other countries with lower tax rates. There is also more collaboration and transparency among different governments. Consequently, the risk of tax audits related to transfer pricing has increased.

As an international company, it is therefore crucial to have a consistent approach. This allows you to demonstrate compliance with transfer pricing rules in each country. The experts at Vandelanotte will gladly suggest an approach tailored to the size and complexity of your company.
