An increasing focus on transparency

Managing transfer pricing risk remains critical in an increasingly transparent business environment, and as the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) debate leads to greater international tax regulation and review.

In an effort to tackle tax BEPS, China’s tax authorities have been focusing on transfer pricing administration by enforcing stringent local-flavoured transfer pricing regulations, imposing detailed compliance requirements and invoking ever-increasing scrutiny on related party transactions.

Taxpayers in general would want to avoid letting a tax dispute turning into an investigation. Companies should therefore assess their risks and document their transfer pricing policies in their China operations. No matter what your industry is, we have the tools, the local presence and the sophisticated, up-to-date regulatory knowledge to help you stay ahead of the game.

Healthcare

Investments in healthcare on a global level are substantial and continue to grow. While businesses focus their efforts locally, an important way to drive more effective growth and change in the market is by capitalising on best practices and knowledge gained cross borders.

Although challenges in the healthcare industry can vary between regions, healthcare systems around the world have the same objective: to finance and deliver the highest possible quality of care to the maximum number of people at the lowest possible cost. As a consequence of these common priorities, solutions are evolving that transcend borders and cultures.

PwC's experience and expertise goes beyond geographic and functional boundaries. We have an understanding of healthcare systems and the dynamics that drive them. With a global network of firms that advise governments and private enterprises on every aspect of business performance, we apply intellectual capital developed in engagements around the world, locally and across industries to our clients' most complex problems.
