The amendments have resulted in additional financial and administrative burdens for taxpayers.

It is very important to know the transfer pricing rules, including the transfer pricing documentation requirements. To help you deal with the challenges of proper application of the regulations we invite you to use the knowledge of Rödl & Partner's tax law experts, who ensure effective transfer pricing advice.
