Description

Paul Sutton and Paul O’Regan discuss the profit splits method. Of the five main TP approaches, it’s unique in that it looks at the relative contributions of more than one party, but is it really ‘a method for the brave’?

We look at the kinds of scenarios in which this method is appropriate, the role that intercompany agreements play in implementing it, and some of the practical issues around ensuring that the ICAs provide legal certainty and reflect the operation of the group.
