Introduction
Transfer Pricing (TP) is one of the most heavily scrutinized areas of international taxation. With the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework, governments worldwide are enforcing stricter TP documentation and compliance requirements. Multinational businesses must maintain accurate, consistent, and audit-ready transfer pricing documentation across all jurisdictions in which they operate.
For many businesses, this task is overwhelming due to complexity, resource limitations, and frequent changes in tax regulations. That’s why Fathalla-FBC designed the TP Compliance Hub™ — a subscription-based service that ensures global TP obligations are met efficiently, cost-effectively, and with complete peace of mind.
What Is TP Compliance Hub™?
The TP Compliance Hub™ is FBC’s flagship service, delivered from Egypt, tailored for international businesses that operate across multiple jurisdictions. It provides centralized management of transfer pricing documentation, making sure everything is accurate, timely, and ready for audits.
Unlike traditional consulting that is reactive and project-based, the TP Compliance Hub™ offers a continuous compliance model, giving businesses proactive support all year round.
