WEBINAR
Approach to Services Transactions in Malaysia |
Services transactions are the most challenged transaction in the Malaysian region. Why?
Because is easy to challenge. Most authorities know very well what to expect and how to challenge they are well trained. In other words is
easy money to get.

transfer pricing regulations runs deep and is widely followed, but is ultimately erroneous.
During this webinar, participants will gain practical tips to manage a company’s transfer pricing policy and processes with regard to
intra-group services transactions.
