Transfer Pricing Strategies
We assist with setting, documenting, and reviewing intercompany prices to meet CRA and international standards. Proper transfer pricing protects you from audits, penalties, and reputational risk while supporting business flexibility.
Tax Treaty Utilization
We help identify and apply relevant tax treaties between Canada and other countries to reduce withholding taxes and avoid double taxation. Our team tracks eligibility requirements and filing protocols so you benefit fully from each treaty’s provisions.
