Aibidia, an industry leader in digital transfer pricing (TP) software, and the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD), a globally recognized authority in tax research and data, are proud to announce the launch of TP Aurora - a purpose-built AI research assistant designed to transform how tax professionals navigate the nuanced regulations of transfer pricing.

AI innovation built for real-world transfer pricing challenges

This launch marks a major milestone in a strategic partnership formed to tackle the increasing challenges in tax and transfer pricing through the power of AI. TP Aurora merges Aibidia’s cutting-edge technology with IBFD’s extensive collection of TP information and data, to deliver a first-of-its-kind research assistant built specifically for the needs of TP professionals.

“We’ve created a solution that redefines how professionals access and apply complex transfer pricing information.

TP Aurora helps automate the transfer pricing research process, providing fast, intelligent access to international and local information on legislation, benchmarking guidelines, and compliance insights around TP. How it works is very simple: you enter your TP-related question into the TP Aurora search-bar, it searches through IBFD information and data, and it generates an answer to your question based on this data.

“What sets TP Aurora apart is the quality of the data that powers it. Every answer to your prompt is grounded in curated, up-to-date, and reliable IBFD data - the gold standard in international tax research,” says Wieneke Brandt, Director Product Management & Delivery at IBFD

Insights

What youʼll learn inside the Aibidia report 2025

The rising cost of tax scrutiny
01

The rising cost of tax scrutiny

Heightened tax authority demands are driving up the time and money TP teams spend on audits. Companies with stronger documentation processes, centralised data, and proactive OTP practices are better positioned to contain both costs and risk.

02

The state of OTP maturity

Only 35% of companies have a well-defined OTP process, while 24% have none at all. Barriers to OTP maturity include poor data access, complex business models, and limited coordination between tax, finance, and IT.

03

The importance of structured data

With 72% of companies in fragmented data environments, the report shows how centralised data helps TP teams insource more processes, ensure consistent compliance, and handle audits more efficiently.

04

Technology and AI adoption in practice

42% of MNEs are investing in specialist software, reducing reliance on traditional tools. AI interest is steady rather than explosive, hinting that TP teams need clean, structured data before advanced analytics can add value.

Expert insights

Structured, reliable data is essential for executing a consistent, defensible transfer pricing strategy. Common barriers to structured data include siloed legacy source systems, unclear data ownership, and inconsistent definitions across entities and functions.

We see significant variation in OTP maturity across companies. In many cases, if existing processes appear to work, there’s less motivation to change. However, where we see this changing, is within MNEs that have faced increased scrutiny or operate with more complex structures.

While there are many challenges in accessing the right data for TP calculations and analysis, one of the most significant barriers to OTP adoption can be the misalignment of KPIs between Finance and Tax teams.

We’re seeing practical AI adoption in areas such as navigating country-specific documentation requirements, researching transfer pricing methods, comparing jurisdictional rules, and tracking global compliance timelines.
