If your UK-based SME is expanding internationally without a solid Transfer Pricing (TP) policy, now is the time to act. At Diacron, we understand the challenges that multinational SMEs face, and our team is here to support you with a clear, proactive approach to TP compliance. With anticipated regulatory changes following the recent Autumn Budget and a possible Spring 2025 consultation, establishing a TP policy is a smart step to stay compliant and protect your business.
What Diacron Brings to Transfer Pricing Strategy
Transfer Pricing governs how related entities price transactions across borders. Diacron specializes in creating policies that not only align with the UK’s TP rules but also fit each client’s global footprint. By ensuring profits are correctly allocated between jurisdictions, our TP solutions allow SMEs to optimize tax strategies and limit exposure to regulatory penalties.
Why Now is the Right Time
The recent Autumn Budget suggests potential changes that may bring more medium-sized businesses into the regulatory focus, with exemption thresholds likely to shift. Acting now with Diacron’s expertise means your SME can prepare effectively, avoiding unnecessary risks in the face of tightened UK transfer pricing regulations.
Risks of Not Having a Transfer Pricing Policy
Without a TP policy, SMEs risk missing out on essential tax savings, facing compliance issues, and potential financial penalties. The Diacron team can guide you in managing specific risk areas, such as:
- Non-Compliant Transactions – Transactions with territories that lack double tax treaties or non-discrimination clauses can be risky. Diacron’s policies ensure compliance across all regions where you operate.
- HMRC Documentation Requests – Medium-sized enterprises are increasingly subject to documentation requirements. Diacron provides robust support for thorough, compliant TP documentation.
- Patent Box Applications – If your SME takes advantage of the Patent Box regime, a TP policy developed by Diacron will ensure profits are allocated correctly to prevent costly errors.
- Complex Markets – For countries with unique regulatory challenges, Diacron offers in-depth expertise to ensure full compliance.
