Aibidia, the global leader in digital transfer pricing management, and BIP Law & Tax, part of BIP, a global technology consulting firm headquartered in Milan, have entered into an exclusive partnership to introduce a new delivery model for transfer pricing in Italy.

The partnership combines Aibidia’s compliance, operational and AI transfer pricing technologies, with BIP Law & Tax’s in-market advisory expertise and global transfer pricing capabilities. Together, the firms deliver full transfer pricing lifecycle services through a scalable delivery model that’s designed to provide central visibility and control, strengthen governance, and keep organisations continuously audit-ready.

A Structural Shift in Transfer Pricing Delivery Models

Managing the full transfer pricing lifecycle today requires a blended, multidisciplinary approach, spanning tax technical expertise, operational excellence, accounting, data engineering, and systems integration.

In Italy, tax digitisation has rapidly risen into the top strategic priorities for Heads of Tax and Finance. At the same time, many multinational groups continue to manage transfer pricing documentation and compliance through fragmented structures, with ownership distributed across Group Tax, Controlling, and local Finance teams. Documentation standards, taxonomy, and processes often vary across jurisdictions.

Transfer pricing compliance is increasingly treated as a commodity and managed reactively, despite growing complexity and regulatory scrutiny. This dynamic is reinforcing the need for a more centralised, digitised and controlled governance model.

“The Italian market is reaching an inflection point,” said Hannu-Tapani Leppänen, CEO of Aibidia. “For many multinational groups, transfer pricing has evolved across local entities and multiple advisors. What tax leaders are shifting to is central control and transparency for audit resilience, without adding pressure to already stretched internal teams."

“Our exclusive partnership with BIP Law & Tax brings together deep Italian market expertise with the infrastructure required to manage transfer pricing continuously, not just annually. Together, we are establishing a unified delivery model that enables organisations to move from fragmented management to centrally governed operational control.”

A New Operational Standard

Through the partnership, Aibidia and BIP Law & Tax are creating a dedicated task force that integrates transfer pricing specialists, data engineers, and technology experts within a single coordinated delivery team.

By combining advisory excellence with advanced automation, analytics, and AI insights, the model transforms transfer pricing compliance into a digital, scalable, and continuously audit-ready process, without replacing professional judgement.

This integrated framework enables organisations to:

• Centralise oversight and governance across jurisdictions
• Accelerate and standardise documentation production
• Improve data extraction and modelling accuracy
• Strengthen audit trails and risk identification
• Transition to and maintain centralised control without being forced to expand internal headcount

“Italian tax leaders are under increasing pressure to ensure consistency, documentation integrity and audit defensibility across jurisdictions,” said Antonino De Benedictis, Head of xTax Services, BIP Law & Tax. “Traditional models that rely on fragmented coordination are becoming increasingly difficult to manage in a complex international environment."

‍

“By combining our end-to-end transfer pricing advisory capabilities with Aibidia’s technology platform, we can offer clients a holistic, integrated solution that strengthens governance while preserving the local compliance excellence the Italian market requires.”

‍

Exclusive Italian Collaboration

The partnership will focus on supporting leading multinational organisations operating in Italy, while also enabling collaboration in other European markets where BIP Law & Tax maintains established relationships.

Looking ahead, the firms aim to position transfer pricing as a core operational backbone of multinational organisations, supporting compliant growth, resilience under audit, and data-driven decision-making.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to raising the bar in transfer pricing service delivery in Italy, aligning advisory expertise, technology innovation, and operational excellence within a single, unified framework.
