The aim of this course is two fold:

  1. It provides students with an overview of international transfer pricing, over what would be a full 5 day course if taught in person;
  2. It helps prepare students doing the UK Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) doing the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT) for Module 3.03 - Transfer pricing, by discussing all topics required in their 2026 syllabus.


Students are taken through:

  • basic concepts in transfer pricing such as the arm's length principle, functional analysis, comparability and transfer pricing methods;
  • the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and the UN Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing;
  • specific transactions, permanent establishments, compliance issues and dispute resolution; and
  • recent developments in case law, treaties and at intergovernmental fora such as the UN, the OECD and the EU.

Johann H. Müller
Johann H. Müller

My passions are tax and teaching. I love reading and understanding treaties, laws and directives; seeing how they are shaped in case law and then explaining all that in clear, simple terms with references to real life practical examples. I enjoy interacting with people, raising questions and getting them to connect the dots so that ultimately they feel comfortable with the material and their skills.

I teach transfer pricing, international corporate taxation, and Pillar 2 in a variety of formats: online automated, online face to face, and in person. My typical audiences are: governments, universities, tax professionals with continued education requirements, professional service providers and post graduate students following the Chartered Institute of Taxation’s exams for an Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (#CIOT and #ADIT).

In my teaching I bring to the table my 25+ years experience in international tax and transfer pricing from working in Amsterdam, London, New York and Copenhagen; working for large law firms, accounting firms, the Danish government and various multinationals in various industries. I also published books and numerous articles on taxation, and am currently the editor of PE Plus, an international database on the taxation of permanent establishments.
