What's New in TP Aurora? Your Trusted TP Research in Minutes

March 12, 2026

Your AI research assistant for TP just got smarter, faster, and broader.

4× more cited sources. 30% faster responses. Better answers on the first try.

If you work in transfer pricing, you know the research problem. A complex question comes in. Maybe it is about local file submission deadline. Maybe it is about how a specific jurisdiction handles documentation requirements. To find the answer, you open multiple databases, search legal repositories, review commentary, and piece the picture together yourself.

It takes hours. Sometimes an entire afternoon. And even then, you are not always sure you found everything.

That is the problem TP Aurora was built to solve.

TP Aurora is the only AI research assistant built specifically for transfer pricing professionals. It draws on curated, trusted IBFD data sources and OECD guidelines, so TP teams can move from question to sourced, cited answers in just minutes.

With this release, that experience just got meaningfully better.

What's new at a glance

What changed What it means for you
4× more cited sources per answer Cross-reference faster and build defensible positions in a single query
30% faster responses Get answers in seconds, not minutes, even during audit season
40% better answer quality More accurate, relevant, and complete answers on the first try
New: IBFD Bulletin for International Taxation added Expert commentary and analysis without hours of manual research

Here's what each of these means for your work.

Build stronger positions with 4x more cited sources

One of the biggest improvements in this release is how TP Aurora retrieves and references sources.

You now get more comprehensive and relevant citations in every response. In one example, a question about the local file deadline submission previously returned a single source. The updated version returns four, drawing from case law, OECD commentary, and expert publications to give you a broader and more defensible view of the issue.

In transfer pricing, one source is rarely enough. You need to cross-reference. You need to see what has been ruled, published, and discussed before you can take a confident position.

This update makes that possible in a single query instead of hours of manual searching across scattered sources.

Get answers in seconds, not minutes

TP Aurora now generates answers approximately 30% faster than the previous version.

That's the difference between pulling up an answer during a meeting and having to circle back afterwards. Between responding to leadership the same afternoon and needing another day. During audit season, when questions come fast and deadlines are unforgiving, this kind of speed changes how your team operates.

Trust the answer the first time

We rigorously evaluate every answer TP Aurora produces — testing for relevance, accuracy, completeness, and how well it addresses the intent behind your question.

In this release, answer quality improved by 40% based on our internal benchmarks. In practice, that means answers are more accurate, more relevant to your specific question, and more complete the first time you ask. Fewer follow-up searches. Less second-guessing. More confidence in what you're working with.

Now powered by IBFD Bulletin for International Taxation

This release also expands what TP Aurora knows.

We have added the IBFD Bulletin for International Taxation (BIT) to the TP Aurora content library. BIT is one of the most respected publications in international tax, known for its in-depth analysis, expert perspectives, and coverage of emerging issues across jurisdictions.

In practice, that means questions like “How does Germany approach APA procedures compared with the US?” can now return answers grounded in BIT content from the first response.

Research that previously required hours of manual digging through expert commentary can now start with an immediately sourced answer.

This is part of a broader commitment behind TP Aurora: improving not just the AI, but the quality and breadth of the content behind every answer.

Why TP Aurora, not a general AI tool?

General AI tools are not built for transfer pricing research.

They do not reliably distinguish among the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, expert commentary, and lower-quality web content. They cannot cite IBFD content. And they are not designed to help teams build positions that must withstand internal scrutiny, external review, or audit pressure.

TP Aurora is different. It was built specifically for transfer pricing research. Every answer is grounded in curated, trusted IBFD content. Every response includes verifiable citations. And every improvement we ship is designed to help transfer pricing teams move from question to defensible answer faster.

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.
