For the companies looking for a confidence in the future on transfer prices and related taxable income, we strongly recommend clients to secure the Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) between SAT and the taxpayers and/or among multiple other taxing authorities and the taxpayers. There are many advantages of securing an APA for multi-national companies. An APA reduces the risk of double taxation, saves costly litigation expenses, eliminates the hassle of transfer price audits, and even resolves the old burdensome tax dispute with the SAT or with other taxing authorities. Not only our experts have the most hands-on APA experience and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of APA, but also our senior staff can provide the APA service to our clients in person at any time.
