In this episode, Loren and Steve speak with Mike Cragg from The Brattle Group about economics and transfer pricing valuations. 

Over time, the modes of economic valuation for transfer pricing purposes have become predictable and sometimes rote. Are there other ways to skin the proverbial cat? On this episode, we discuss some possible novel approaches with Mike Cragg, an experienced economist and the Principal & Chairman at The Brattle Group. In particular, we’ll discuss the role that insights from antitrust economics and notions of minority discounts might play in transfer pricing valuations.

On this episode of tax break, Loren and Steve are joined by Simon Webber, a managing director in the transfer pricing practice at Duff & Phelps, about the latest OECD initiatives and what they might mean for transfer-pricing valuation.

We'll speak about the endeavor of transfer pricing valuation as it relates to worldwide effective-tax-rate management, how the last round of OECD initiatives (under BEPS) changed the valuation landscape, and what might happen to that landscape with the two developing OECD pillars (the first of which contemplates some possible formulary apportionment among markets, the second of which contemplates a minimum tax that may be assessed on the basis of book financials).
