tpFins offers a streamlined and cost-efficient service for intercompany loan pricing both for planning and documentation purposes. tpFins is powered by deep expertise of a team of practitioners with decades of cumulative experience in intercompany financing benchmarks for transfer pricing. With tpFins you can do it yourself, or you can get customized support from our experts, and get it done!
tpFins relies principally on corporate bonds pricing data for benchmarking analysis. tpFins utilizes data from reputable sources such as TRACE, along with other financial market data providers. These sources ensure that the tpFins benchmarking analyses are grounded in accurate and reliable market data. We use standard industry yield to maturity formulae to calculate effective interest rates. We also use currency and fixed-to-floating swap data published by reliable databases where conversions are required.
Interest rate benchmarking is one component of a complete financial transfer pricing documentation. Under our advisory services, tpFins can assist in preparing a fully compliant OECD TP documentation. We provide various options customized based on your needs.
Credit rating is a key element of intercompany loan benchmarking. Many companies have either published credit ratings or shadow credit ratings for treasury purposes that may be reliable indicators to consider, with appropriate adjustments, when benchmarking intercompany loans. If you don't have credit rating information, tpFins can use alternative methods to estimate the credit quality of the intercompany loan. These methods may include using proxy data, industry averages, or other relevant financial indicators to ensure a comprehensive and accurate analysis.
In the call we will confirm our understanding of the loan details provided through the online form and we expect to talk about the facts and circumstances around the intercompany transaction and any specific requirements or constraints. This information will help our team tailor the analysis to your specific needs and ensure accurate benchmarking results. There is no cost for the initial call.
