What is transfer pricing benchmarking?

When a company transacts cross-border with related parties — paying management fees to a parent, charging a subsidiary for services, licensing intellectual property within a group — tax authorities require that those prices reflect what unrelated parties would have agreed to at arm's length.

A benchmarking study uses market data to identify comparable companies or transactions and to establish the appropriate arm's-length range for pricing. Without one, businesses carry real exposure to transfer pricing adjustments, penalties, and double taxation.

LITax delivers benchmarking the way it should be done: with standardised, efficient workflows, industry-standard databases, and a senior specialist reviewing every engagement — at a price point that works for small and mid-sized businesses.

Who needs a benchmarking study?

Any company with cross-border related-party transactions may need one. In particular:

U.S. subsidiaries of foreign parent companies paying management fees or royalties

U.S. companies with overseas subsidiaries or service arrangements

Any business with related-party loans or guarantees

Companies preparing transfer pricing documentation for the first time

Businesses facing a tax audit or information request related to transfer pricing

Why choose LITax for benchmarking?

The problem with today's market

Benchmarking studies from large advisory firms are often priced out of reach for SMEs

One-size-fits-all approaches that don't reflect a company's actual circumstances

Long turnaround times driven by internal processes at large firms

White-label benchmarking
