Many companies still underestimate procurement complexity, regulation, and margin pressure. BDO’s Mike Abbott, Partner in Management Consulting, breaks down what businesses need to know in this special edition of BDO Cue & A. 🎥 ▶️ Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/e2Pkn9Pq 📄 Read the article for more insights: https://bit.ly/4tiRtd5 #DefenseIndustry #CanadaBusiness #SupplyChain #GrowthStrategy #BDOMoreTogether

Canada’s transfer pricing rules are being realigned with OECD principles, with a stronger focus on economic reality over contractual form. What this means: • Greater scrutiny on the economic substance of intercompany transactions • More rigorous analysis of functions, conduct, and value creation • Tighter timelines to produce contemporaneous documentation Our perspective: This signals a shift toward a more fact-driven standard, where outcomes are determined by how value is actually created within the business. For organizations, the priority is clear. Transfer pricing needs to be supported by real-time insight into operations, not just retrospective documentation.

Canada’s transfer pricing rules are entering a new phase, with a clear shift toward substance over form. The latest changes go beyond technical updates and raise the bar on how intercompany arrangements are evaluated in practice. What this means: • Legal agreements must align with actual conduct • Documentation must be more robust and audit-ready • Transfer pricing becomes a real-time discipline, not retrospective Our perspective: This is a shift from documenting positions to continuously validating them. For multinationals with Canadian operations, it is time to reassess whether existing structures and governance can withstand this level of scrutiny.
