Past I.E.Canada Conference Highlights
| Transfer Pricing Conference - Conference & Workshop Leading Strategies to Boost Your Bottom Line in Today’s Economic Times June 3 & 4, 2009 - Toronto Cross-border companies and governments recognize that the international marketplace is becoming much more highly competitive and the planning for the rapid and unanticipated changes in the tax rules are becoming much more complex. Tax savings can be substantial when given the right strategies, but so can the tax liability when penalties are imposed by governments and transfer pricing opportunities are missed. This conference goes beyond the surface problems of transfer pricing — it will proceed directly to the real issues and developments that tax and finance professionals face in today’s economic times. Don’t miss the case study workshop where you will learn the latest strategies in formulating an effective transfer pricing strategy. By listening to experts as they take you through a hypothetical case study, and by sharing ideas with other finance and tax professionals, you will learn to develop practical applications to use in your company’s transfer pricing strategy. Group discounts are available (please see bottom of email). International Governments are Stepping Up Their Transfer Pricing Audits!
