Transfer Pricing Training, Designed Around Your Team

No two transfer pricing teams are the same, so no two of our training programmes are either. We work with firms and multinationals to design bespoke TP training that fits your people, your clients and your business.

Trusted TP Training

ExtraTax Training delivers bespoke transfer pricing training to professional services firms, multinational groups and tax authorities. Our TP students have come from Big 4 and leading advisory firms, in-house tax teams at FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 multinationals, and revenue authorities.

The problem we solve

Junior transfer pricing professionals are often expected to contribute to complex client work from day one. Training them usually falls to client-facing colleagues, who design and deliver sessions around a full workload, so the fundamentals are covered as time allows rather than as a structured programme. The result is a team learning by doing, which creates risk for the firm and means confidence builds slowly.

Transfer pricing is also poorly served by general tax training, so most of what juniors learn comes from colleagues a year or two ahead of them, task by task. They learn what to do without always understanding why. A trainee can assist with a benchmarking study without seeing where it fits in the wider TP framework. Gaining that big picture understanding turns someone who can follow instructions into someone who asks the right questions.

We design and deliver that training for you. Your team gains the grounding and the context from experienced practitioners, while your senior people stay focused on clients.

How we work with you

We don't arrive with a fixed syllabus. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your team and your business, and the programme is designed from there.

Understand

We start by listening:
  • the make-up of your team, their experience levels, the nature of your client work or intra-group arrangements,
  • where you want the team to be in the years ahead, and
  • how you want to help them get there.

Design

A programme built around those needs, covering the right topics at the right depth. That might be a short series of workshops, a full programme of modules, preparation for a professional qualification, or a combination over several years.

Deliver

Online, in person or a combination, scheduled around your client commitments. Sessions are interactive and exercise-led, in small groups, using scenarios your team will recognise from their own work.

Refine

Your feedback shapes the programme as it runs, letting us adjust content, pace and emphasis year on year. The programme your team gets in year three has been sharpened by everyone who came before them.

What a bespoke programme can look like

Every programme is different, but two examples show the range, and how they can combine over several years. We built this combination with a Big 4 transfer pricing team in Ireland, where new graduates begin with practical fundamentals and progress to the ADIT qualification in their second year.

Example 1: A practical foundation for junior TP professionals

For one firm's incoming TP associates, we designed a five-module Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing programme, an exercise-led grounding in the concepts and techniques that underpin all TP work. Across the modules, participants:
  • Explore how multinational groups are structured, value chain analysis, the arm's length principle and the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, through practical exercises using everyday products.
  • Learn to analyse a transaction end-to-end, from comparability and functional analysis through entity characterisation to method selection, with numerical examples of all five OECD methods.
  • Apply it all in an integrated case study, alongside the international tax concepts that give cross-border TP work its context.
  • Work in depth on intra-group services, including building a model to calculate allocations for a shared services entity.
  • Learn the purpose and structure of TP documentation by starting to prepare a local file.

Each module is an interactive workshop with groups capped at 12. The content, examples and emphasis are tailored to the team's background and the work they are doing, so a programme for your team would cover the ground they need, in the order and depth that suits them.

Example 2: A bespoke ADIT Transfer Pricing course for your cohort

For teams ready to work towards a recognised qualification, we design dedicated courses preparing a cohort for the ADIT Transfer Pricing exam. Passing earns each participant a standalone Transfer Pricing certificate from the UK's Chartered Institute of Taxation, which can also count towards the full ADIT qualification. Because the syllabus is built on the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines rather than any single jurisdiction's rules, it works equally well for cohorts drawn from one office or from member firms across several countries.

A bespoke ADIT course is scheduled around your team's working hours and time zone, can draw on examples relevant to your firm's work, and gives colleagues the support of studying together. It includes regular small-group classes, assignments with individual feedback, study materials, revision days, and pre- and post-revision mock exams.

Firms that would like to experience our approach before committing to a dedicated cohort can also sponsor a small number of candidates on our public online ADIT TP course.

Your programme might look like one of these, combine elements of both, or be something different again: a workshop series on a single topic, refresher training for experienced staff, or TP awareness sessions for the wider tax or finance team. The starting point is always a conversation about what your team needs.

Beyond the fundamentals

For experienced TP professionals, we design advanced training on the topics where external courses are rarely available, such as intangibles, financial transactions, or MAP and APA processes.

We work with you to diagnose what your team needs, then bring in the right specialist to deliver it, drawing on our network of associate trainers, from practitioners with niche specialisms to former senior tax authority officials.

Your team learns from someone who has done the work, within a programme we design and oversee.

Proven results

Case study: Three years with a Big 4 transfer pricing team in Ireland
We have worked with a Big 4 transfer pricing team in Ireland for three consecutive years, delivering a dedicated programme designed with the firm around its graduate intake. New joiners begin with a tailored Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing course, then progress to a bespoke ADIT Transfer Pricing programme in their second year. By designing exactly what the team needs and listening to feedback year on year, we have achieved a 100% ADIT pass rate for every student who fully completed the programme, while the team's senior professionals stay focused on clients.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a fixed course or is it tailored to our firm?

Every programme is tailored. We start by understanding your team's experience, your client base or intra-group arrangements, and your goals, then design the topics, depth, format and schedule around them. The examples on this page show what other firms have commissioned.

Who can the training be designed for?

Anyone from new graduates joining a TP team through to experienced practitioners deepening a specialism. We also design TP awareness sessions for the wider tax, finance or legal teams who work alongside them. The content is pitched to the participants in the room.

Can the training be delivered online, in person, or both?

Yes. Programmes can run fully online, fully in person, or combine the two, for instance in-person workshops with online sessions between them. Scheduling works around your team's client commitments and time zone.

Can participants from different offices or countries join one cohort?

Yes. Transfer pricing training built on the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines works well for cohorts drawn from multiple offices, member firms or countries, and we regularly schedule around different time zones.

What results have your transfer pricing courses achieved?

Students on our public ADIT Transfer Pricing course achieved a 100% pass rate in four out of the past five exam sittings. The bespoke programme for a Big 4 TP team in Ireland has delivered 100% pass rates for students who fully completed the course over three consecutive years.

Do you offer advanced transfer pricing training for experienced teams?

Yes. ExtraTax Training designs advanced transfer pricing training for experienced TP professionals, covering topics where external courses are rarely available, such as intangibles, financial transactions, and MAP and APA processes.
