    Ms Theresa Goh & Transfer Pricing

    Transfer pricing is the pricing of assets within an organisation. The term usually refers to prices on cross-border transactions within multi-national entities eg. from a foreign parent company to a subsidiary. Since the prices are controlled within an organisation, a price that appears to reflect market pricing to your company may not be when considered 'at arm's length'.

    In recent years, transfer pricing has emerged as a critical success factor in corporate strategic planning and executive decision-making. More and more companies focused on growth and market leadership are recognising the important role transfer pricing can play in:
    • Minimising the corporate tax burden
    • Enhancing operational performance 
    • Reducing legal exposure 
    • Increasing cash flow 
    It is an international tax issue of significant interest and impact, and now is the time to get on top of its meaning and implications. Every year, more countries are challenging companies on their transfer pricing activities and imposing onerous penalties on those in noncompliance.

    In Malaysia, legislation on transfer pricing was proposed in the 2009 Finance Budget and was gazetted on 8 January 2009. Based on the said legislation, effective 1 January 2009, companies with related party transactions are required to determine and apply the arm’s length price for the acquisition or supply of property or services. Therefore, it is mandatory for all companies to prepare transfer pricing documentation for the purpose of determining the arm’s length price.                                                                      (sources from: Deloitte Malaysia)

    With great pleasure, we have Ms Theresa Goh, the National Transfer Pricing Leader of Deloitte Malaysia’s Transfer Pricing Team to be one of our speakers on the topic ''GST, RPGT & Transfer Pricing''. 


    The committee members of MASC 2010 and Ms Theresa Goh

    Ms Theresa was recognised as a leading transfer pricing adviser in Euromoney's 2009 Guide to the World's Leading Transfer Pricing Advisers. Her experience covers tax audits and investigations and tax planning and advisory for clients in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, services and oil & gas sectors. Theresa has more than 20 years of tax and transfer pricing (TP) experience covering a wide range of taxation. She has extensive experience in successfully completing many tax planning and consulting assignments in areas such as restructuring, mergers and acquisition.

    Eager to know more about Transfer Pricing and hear more from Ms Theresa? 

    MASC 2010 provides you this golden opportunity and we guarantee that you will never regret to become part of us!
