Steef Huibregtse is the Chief Executive Officer of TPA Global, an international tax and transfer pricing consultancy headquartered in the Netherlands. He has been recognised in the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 as Transfer Pricing Expert of the Year in the Netherlands, an accolade that reflects his leadership of a specialist advisory firm and his long-standing focus on transfer pricing and value chain analysis for multinational businesses.

Leading an international transfer pricing consultancy

TPA Global supports multinational enterprises with transfer pricing, international tax, tax technology and related services from its base at Tower 42 in Diemen, near Amsterdam. As CEO, Steef Huibregtse leads a team that advises clients across many industries and jurisdictions. His own areas of expertise include transfer pricing, value chain analysis, digital transformation, ESG and what the firm describes as tax in the boardroom, and his experience spans markets including Belgium, Germany, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, across sectors from chemicals and financial services to oil and gas, banking, publishing, telecommunications, retail and food production.

What transfer pricing involves

Transfer pricing concerns the prices at which related companies within the same multinational group buy and sell goods, services, intellectual property and financing from one another. Because these transactions occur between connected parties, tax authorities require them to be conducted at arm's length, meaning on terms comparable to those that independent parties would agree. Getting this right is one of the most significant tax challenges facing multinational groups, because transfer pricing determines how profit is allocated between countries and is subject to close scrutiny by tax administrations around the world.

TPA Global's transfer pricing services reflect the breadth of this discipline. They include documentation, risk assessments, advance pricing arrangements, strategic audit defence, value chain analysis and system design. The firm also advises on international tax and valuation matters, including the OECD's Pillar One and Pillar Two initiatives, on tax technology and digital transformation, and on tax litigation and mediation through a global network. This combination allows clients to address both the design of their transfer pricing policies and their defence when those policies are challenged.

Areas of focus

• Transfer pricing policy design, documentation and compliance
• Value chain analysis and operating model review
• Advance pricing arrangements and audit defence
• International tax, including Pillar One and Pillar Two
• Tax technology and digital transformation

The international tax environment has changed profoundly in recent years. The OECD's base erosion and profit shifting programme, the introduction of country-by-country reporting, and the ongoing implementation of a global minimum tax under Pillar Two have all increased the importance of robust, well-documented transfer pricing. The Netherlands, as a major hub for international holding and financing structures, is a jurisdiction where these questions are especially prominent, and where multinational groups require advisers who understand both local practice and the global framework.

Transfer pricing is also increasingly a boardroom issue rather than a purely technical one. Reputational considerations, public scrutiny of how multinationals are taxed, and the growing importance of environmental, social and governance factors have all raised the profile of tax within corporate strategy. Advisers who can speak to both the technical detail and the strategic implications are therefore especially valuable to senior management and boards. Steef Huibregtse's stated focus on tax in the boardroom, alongside value chain analysis and digital transformation, positions TPA Global to help clients address transfer pricing as an integral part of how their businesses are structured and run.
