![]() | Mayer Brown Astrid launched the Mayer Brown European Transfer Pricing Centre (ETPC) in 2008, which is part of the firm's global transfer pricing practice covering US, Asia and Europe. As head of the ETPC, Astrid counsels on the transactional aspects of transfer pricing, such as structuring European transfer pricing policy for European groups or US groups operating in Europe. Her related work involves advising on tax aspects of changes in business models as well as on the fiscal optimisation of financial vehicles within multinational enterprises (such as captive insurance companies, treasury centres and investment funds). She also assists clients in deploying transfer pricing documentation that conforms with EU guidelines. Astrid has also a substantial background in tax controversy matters, including assistance with tax litigation and negotiation of rulings with the tax authorities in Belgium and Luxembourg. Her experience in transfer pricing controversy includes examination, appeals and advanced pricing agreements. At the policy level, Astrid has been closely involved in the OECD intangibles scoping project (for example, submitting comments, and presenting the matter to Working Party No 6), focusing on post-tax/pre-tax valuation issues and the need for reliable but balanced benchmarking to support transfer pricing considerations. She is also involved with the World Customs Organisation (WCO) providing input on convergence efforts between Customs valuation and transfer pricing. Astrid spoke on those aspects at the Open Day for Trade organised in June 2011 by WCO. Before joining Mayer Brown's Brussels office in 2007, Astrid practised in Brussels and Luxembourg with two of the world's leading tax and accounting firms: Deloitte (2002 to 2006) and Arthur Andersen (1981 to 2002). Reflecting her multinational practice, she is fluent in French, Dutch and English. ![]() |
