Danny Oosterhoff EY

Danny Oosterhoff is a tax partner with EY in Amsterdam and specialized in transfer pricing and operating model effectiveness. He leads EY's international tax practice (ITS) in the Netherlands.

Danny has specialized in transfer-pricing services since 1996 and has worked both in the Netherlands and the United States. He has worked with many multinational enterprises in the broader field of transfer pricing planning including risk and controversy management. His experience covers a wide range of industries, including the chemicals, pharmaceutical, high-tech and technology, consumer products, media and telecommunication sectors. He has been involved in a significant number of advance-pricing agreements, both on a unilateral and multilateral level and has been involved in many mutual agreement procedures with many different countries across the European, Asian and American continents. He has also effectively used APAs and rollback mechanisms to resolve transfer pricing disputes.

Danny has extensive experience in business restructuring and business model transformation, in particular with regard to the design and implementation of models that align business and tax requirements. Within this field, his main focus is on sustainable approaches for the organizational design of centralized operating models that specifically account for business requirements in combination with the evolving landscape and changes in international tax rules. Consistent with the OECD's approach to business restructuring, Danny has advised many companies on business restructuring payments and integrating the economic drivers for cross-border movement of functions and risks with post restructuring transfer pricing models.

In addition, he works with many companies on transfer pricing risk management to assist in defining the overall transfer pricing policy, the corporate transfer-pricing function and associated processes for ensuring sustainable and manageable transfer pricing models. Transfer pricing risk management entails the development of transfer pricing policies and risk frameworks with effective control mechanisms. Such risk frameworks are instrumental in identifying, qualifying and quantifying transfer pricing risks and establishing processes and procedures to manage these risks. Danny has also worked with many international companies on the transfer pricing aspects of acquisitions and divestures. For many multinational enterprises, he has assisted in the field of due-diligence and post-merger integration of transfer pricing policies, establishing arm's length financing conditions and integration of operating models. An important part of his role in these and other transfer pricing implementation projects is to reconcile business drivers, management performance aspects, systems capabilities, transfer pricing regulatory aspects and overall policies and strategies to ensure sustainable models.

Furthermore, Danny regularly speaks at forums and events about transfer pricing, business restructuring and international developments in taxation, including BEPS and state aid.

Danny Oosterhoff holds a degree in tax law from the University of Tilburg.
