GTP^® Benchmarks Sunday, 30. May 2010

GTP^® Benchmarks facilitate the transfer pricing manager, and/or the tax consultant, in generating a cost-cutting arm's length documentation.

Designed for the specific requirements in the area of transfer pricing, GTP^® Benchmarks provide for arm's length ranges of various key performance indicators. Based on the state-of-the-art compliance concept in international taxation, the benchmarks allow the transfer pricing manager to compare the related-party situation with third-party comparables. The transfer pricing manager may use GTP^® Benchmarks for the budgeting process to setup C+ markups or R- gross margins, or to furnish the overall documentation package with arm´s length ranges.
GTP^® Benchmarks are based on in-depth multi-year analysis of publicly available data across countries, industries and functions. Given the individual requirements of the customer, the benchmarks are regularly deployed as industry benchmarks or as arm’s length profit ranges reflecting function and risk pattern.

GTP^® Benchmarks services are available in three different delivery packages:

• GTP^® IndustryCheck: Industry based key performance indicators
• GTP^® Arm’s Length Check: Specific interquartile ranges on profit level indicators
• GTP^® Margin analysis: Interquartile ranges on profit level indicators supplemented by the text-based Transfer Pricing Report
