Tax & ESG - The Role of Transfer Pricing

A three-part series on tax and environmental, social, and corporate governance

Transfer pricing and ESG

It is expected that internal and external stakeholders will continue to focus on ESG and tax. In a three-part transfer pricing focused series, KPMG tax leaders lay out an approach that multinational corporations (MNCs) can use to address these concerns as follows:

drafting a publicly available and group-wide tax policy that sets forth the MNC’s approach towards key aspects of taxation including their approach to transfer pricing
developing mechanisms to ensure compliance with their tax policy, including drafting a formal tax risk management policy, and
considering ways to proactively engage with governments on tax and transfer pricing issues
