TPMPAutomation in action
What TPMP is, and what it actually does.
TPMP is the platform iVC runs your transfer pricing on. It holds your structure, your transactions and your decisions as live data, does the repetitive work against them on a schedule, and puts an iVC transfer pricing specialist in front of every output before it goes anywhere.
The point is not that software is involved. The point is that the same team designs, implements, documents and defends your transfer pricing policies, and does it on one system instead of on a fresh spreadsheet every cycle.
The whole job
Four verbs, one team, one system.
Assess the transaction, choose the method, model what it does to margins, tax and the accounts before it goes live.
Turn the policy into agreements, calculations, benchmarks and postings that run during the year rather than after it.
Assemble the Master File, Local Files and CbCR from the data the first two steps already produced.
Keep the working, not only the conclusion, so that an enquiry three years later is answered from a record.
Managing, controlling and predicting transfer pricing is one continuous job. Splitting it across a tool, an adviser and a spreadsheet is what makes it feel like four.
Eight things that used to take a week
Press run. These are working demonstrations, not videos.
Each one shows what happens between the moment a fact arrives and the moment something is ready for review. Every one of them ends the same way: a transfer pricing specialist looks at it before it leaves.
1 Benchmarking engine
Screening comparables and setting the range
2 Intercompany calculation
Imported from the ledger, priced to policy, traced
3 Permanent establishment radar
Local presence tested against risk thresholds
4 Interest rate setting
Arm's length rate on an intra-group loan
5 Documentation assembly
Local File, built from data already held
6 Deadline radar
Implementation tracker, next 30 days
7 Draft, then signature
The part that is not automated
8 Ask once, reuse everywhere
One answer, four destinations
Who performs the services, and whereReceived
All eight demonstrations use illustrative figures. They show the sequence and the vocabulary, not a client's numbers.
Across borders
One group, many jurisdictions, one view.
Most of the difficulty in a group's transfer pricing is not any single analysis. It is that the analyses sit in different countries, are done by different people at different times, and have to end up telling one consistent story.
TPMP holds multi-jurisdiction oversight in one place: which entity is doing what, who is coordinating it, and what is due where. iVC works across offices in London, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus and the USA, and the platform is how that coordination stays visible to you rather than happening somewhere you cannot see.
What the platform coordinates
- Multi-jurisdiction oversight of every controlled transaction in scope.
- Team coordination, so the same fact is not chased twice in two countries.
- Deadline tracking per jurisdiction, with the dependencies behind each date.
- One documentation structure and vocabulary, local requirements layered on top.
- A standing record of who reviewed what, and when.
The honest part
What is not automated.
Judgement. Choosing the method for a transaction nobody has priced before, deciding whether a comparable is really comparable, taking a position on a restructuring, and deciding what a tax authority will accept. Those are done by people, and the same people put their name on the file.
