Yesterday morning at Syntaxe, we hosted a breakfast discussion on a familiar yet complex topic: management fees within corporate groups.
Though management fees are part of everyday group operations, their implementation often proves challenging when it comes to defining the scope of services, setting an appropriate price, or substantiating the charges.
It’s also a classic area of scrutiny, both for tax authorities during audits and auditors in M&A transactions.
Our discussion addressed key practical questions:
➡️ How should management services be documented?
➡️ What pricing methods are appropriate?
➡️ Which mistakes can prove costly?
➡️ What lessons can be drawn from recent case law?
➡️ What best practices should be adopted?
Thank you to all our guests for their participation and the quality of their contributions; always a pleasure to exchange insights over breakfast at Syntaxe.
