As Valente Associati GEB Partners’ Managing Partner, I had to make some important decisions in these last few years and especially in the 2011-2012 period, as Italy found itself – along with the rest of the world – having to face one of the worst economic and financial crises, causing a full-scale and far-reaching impact on all levels of society.
Notwithstanding the global crisis – or perhaps because of it – we simply adopted our standard policy to view change as an opportunity for growth rather than allowing pessimistic views and attitudes to spoil whatever possibilities were still open. Of course, this also meant literally living by the well-known motto “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!”
That meant having to brace ourselves against the onslaught of economic, financial and political changes that could be foreseen and that materialized
on a worldwide scale and this is what we are still doing.
Indeed, some changes were constructive. For example, the recent introduction in Italian legislation of new transfer pricing rules brought new awareness to both, Tax Authorities and taxpayers alike as this meant stricter and more frequent audits. Consequently, a much more careful approach by taxpayers became fundamental when dealing in international inter-company transactions involving the TP area.
Another important aspect that has “galvanized” client interest in TP is due to the fact that – always because of the crisis – investors are channeling their interests more and more into foreign investments, creating production and commercial companies abroad and this requires a structured organization which in turn means the right people in the right places. Organizations need governance, and the
more complex the organization, the more detailed the procedures. What all this boils down to is that Transfer Pricing is one of the hottest issues right now, along with effective management if IP and financing
Our firm, among other areas of specialization, is acknowledged in Italy and abroad for its outstanding performance in Transfer Pricing and same goes for all other specialization areas which in measurable terms meant a 25% growth (new client acquisition) and in spite of the employment crisis, an HR increase of 5 new specialists (TP and corporate tax) since late 2011.
The firm’s dynamic, innovative and integrated approach based on the highest ethical and professional standards affords us and our clients ample space to look forward to some very interesting and constructive developments for the year 2013 and for years to come.
