In this episode of EY Transfer Pricing Roundup, host Ryan J. Kelly is joined by Kent Stackhouse to unpack Perrigo Company v. United States (W.D. Mich.). They discuss the 2006 contract reassignment at the center of the dispute, the IRS's economic substance and Section 482 arguments, and why the court emphasized ex ante pricing using contemporaneous projections, not actual results. The episode also highlights key practical takeaways on documentation, assumptions, and reliance on advisors, with a note that the decision was appealed in late March 2026.

UK transfer pricing continues to evolve at a rapid pace.
