We offer an integrated range of tax advisory services (more information to be found here) that enable us to streamline and optimize our client’s tax affairs. Our strength lies in our team of nearly 30 tax specialists, and we are proud of our focus on innovation and entrepreneurship. We are a full-service tax firm, active in all tax disciplines and working in multidisciplinary teams for clients active in most sectors of the economy.

The STP Transfer Pricing practice is led by Pieter Drubbel and further consists of several experienced transfer pricing professionals of different nationalities who work closely together on transfer pricing projects involving multiple jurisdictions, multidisciplinary projects (integrated approach) and in-house roles. We serve a wide range of clients from start-ups to (listed) multinationals in all industries (ranging from tech to agricultural companies). STP’s transfer pricing specialists offer a full range of services, including value chain analysis, design, documentation (for compliance and audit), benchmarking (for audit, optimization, compliance), implementation, dispute resolution and prevention and valuations. Our holistic approach to the preparation of the company's transfer pricing strategy starts with a thorough study of the business model and strategy followed by our 360-tax approach, which means we do not only advise you from a transfer pricing perspective, but also take corporate tax and VAT into account.
