What Does the Future Hold for Transfer Pricing Comparables?

Thomson Reuters expert to speak at International Transfer Pricing Summit on comparable selection

David Bukovac, head of the economics team for the ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing business within Thomson Reuters, will discuss comparable selection and other transfer pricing hot button topics at the International Transfer Pricing Summit in London, from March 9 -10. “There are more data available for comparables analyses today than ever before” said David Bukovac, senior director for Transfer Pricing at Thomson Reuters. “One of transfer pricing professionals’ biggest challenges is to find better and faster ways to locate, verify and analyze those data.”

David, along with four other industry experts, will provide insight into best practices in comparable selection and identify the major themes surrounding the issue. The What Future for Comparables? panel will address the various methods in the selection of comparables, penalties associated with misrepresentation and the administrative burden that is tied to finding these comparables.

The 2nd annual International Transfer Pricing Summit will draw more than 30 world-class transfer pricing speakers and thought leaders from 10 countries and industries. Several transfer pricing topics will be covered at the conference, including: policy developments, documentation & compliance strategies, and cost sharing, among others.

David leads the economics team for the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters, and is responsible for all transfer pricing consulting and implementation work. He joined Thomson Reuters in 1999 from PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he was a Senior Economist in their Transfer Pricing Practice. He has experience in all areas of transfer pricing, including compliance, audit defense, Advanced Pricing Agreements (APA), and global tax minimization. He has in-depth knowledge of both the U.S. and OECD transfer pricing regulations, expertise in valuing intangibles, and has worked with taxpayers in many countries and industries.
