When government is in need of revenue, they have a few choices: remove exemptions, raise taxes or stringently enforce existing tax laws. In today’s dire economy, government has no choice but to leave no stone unturned to shore up the massive budget deficit. Recent surveys have found that 75 percent of tax directors of US $5B+ revenue companies said that tax audits are becoming more aggressive. In addition, government is becoming even more aggressive when it comes to penalties. If a company is accused of tax fraud the fine ranges from 100 percent to 1,500 percent of the unpaid tax.

A key target for the federal government is transfer pricing. In fact, the IRS’ international subdivision will add nearly 900 employees, including examiners, transfer pricing economists and technical staff, to the 600 employees in place at the end of 2010. To better coordinate the efforts of the transfer pricing national office and the field, the Large Business & International (LB&I) division intends to create a transfer pricing advisory group organized geographically, comprising 40 to 60 personnel. This means, that making sure your transfer pricing process is running as efficiently and effectively as possible is more critical than ever.

Companies looking to reduce the risk of painful audit are putting transfer pricing to the top of their priority list.
