Case studies

  • Related Party Financing

    Client Requirement:
    A global multinational required inbound financing for an Australian acquisition. Australian transfer pricing and FIRB requirements mandate an arm’s length loan quantum and interest rate analysis, with TP documentation critical for ATO penalty protection

    Solution:
    TP Benchmark conducted detailed analysis within a week at dealspeed, enabling FIRB approval and mitigating compliance risks.

    Result:
    The acquisition proceeded smoothly, safeguarded by robust, defensible transfer pricing practices.

  • R&D Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials

    Client Requirement:
    The commercial feasibility of a MNE’s clinical trials in Australia was contingent on compliance with R&D tax concession and transfer pricing rules.

    Solution:
    TP Benchmark conducted detailed analysis and supported a private ruling application with the ATO, addressing all compliance requirements and ensuring regulatory approval.

    Result:
    TP Benchmark’s work enabled the trials to proceed in Australia, making them commercially viable and unlocking further investment in Australian clinical research.

  • Law Firm Referral

    Client Requirement:
    A law firm required transfer pricing expertise as part of a competitive tender with Big 4 Accounting.

    Solution:
    TP Benchmark partnered with the law firm, providing expert transfer pricing support, including detailed analysis and documentation, while seamlessly integrating with their broader tax advisory services.

    Result:
    The law firm retained the client, delivering both tax advice and high-quality transfer pricing analysis. The collaboration strengthened their client relationship and enhanced their service offering, demonstrating expertise across both areas.

  • Tax Automation

    Client Requirement:
    A multinational client faced difficulties monitoring transfer pricing profit outcomes due to system constraints. This made it challenging for the tax manager to provide timely updates to the CFO on the client’s transfer pricing audit risk.

    Solution:
    The team at TP Benchmark developed a custom transfer pricing automation dashboard, integrating historical transaction data and providing clear insights into profit outcomes. The team then used the dashboard to identify and quantify technical risks.

    Result:
    The CFO and tax manager could prioritise their audit preparation workstreams based on the impact of technical risks identified, improving decision-making and compliance. The automation dashboard could be reused in future periods, streamlining operations, saving time and reducing the risk of errors in transfer pricing monitoring.

  • Unlocking Thin Capitalisation Interest Denials: Arm’s Length Debt Test

    Client Requirement:
    An accounting firm’s client faced thin capitalisation denials in historical periods, resulting in withholding tax payments without corresponding deductions, significantly impacting their cash tax position.

    Solution:
    TP Benchmark conducted a retrospective review and applied the arm’s length debt test, identifying opportunities to claim deductions.

    Result:
    The client achieved approximately A$1 million in cash tax refunds, with the ATO providing a high level of risk assurance.
