Valuation and transparency

Digitalisation in combination with globalisation has not only led to new business models, but it also changed value creation processes in traditional industries. Both proper valuation of intangibles and consideration of the external costs of the production processes, is often missing, leading to the misallocation of profits along the value chain and the related jurisdictions in which these processes take place and intangibles are used. Therefore, there is a need to look into the measurement and recognition processes of different assets and functions and to examine how traditional transfer pricing methods need to be altered to achieve a fair, accountable, sustainable and transparent taxation system.

Tax transparency and tax disclosure are important concepts in this research objective, and so-called tax technologies are facilitating the increased reporting duties of taxpayers. How do businesses deal with tax disclosure and what characterstics impact the level of tax disclusure?  

The research projects within this research objective are approached in an interdisciplinary way.
