From brand ownership and licensing to international distribution, we support luxury and consumer goods groups in managing cross-border, tax, financial, customs, transfer pricing and operating structures.

Industry Overview

Luxury and consumer goods groups often operate through separate entities responsible for intellectual property, manufacturing, sourcing, distribution and retail.

This structure creates a range of interconnected issues involving royalties, licensing arrangements, product transfer pricing, customs valuation, indirect taxation and cross-border payments.

The development of international distribution networks also requires businesses to consider the interaction between local operating models, group policies and regulatory requirements.

For businesses operating premium brands, the protection and appropriate use of intellectual property can be closely connected to the group’s international tax and transfer pricing structure.
