Different speakers will address the main subjects linked to transfer pricing (transactions regarding tangible assets, intangible assets, financial transactions, value chain alignments, documentary requirements, etc.).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The course aims to give an overview of the main concepts and ideas involved in transfer pricing.
This course will enable students to understand in a pragmatic way the foundations of practical transfer pricing.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Students must have passive knowledge of English.
Students should ideally have satisfactory knowledge of the general principles of international tax law.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Students will be provided with copies of the slides shown and, as necessary, notes or booklets on specific subjects. Some of the material used will be in English.

These teaching materials are available on the HD campus.

Students will be regularly called upon by teaching staff to answer questions on the subjects covered in class. The active participation of students is, therefore, required.

Physical presence and active participation during the classes should make it much easier to pass the exam.
