Dr Peter Meenan is the senior economist and an executive officer in Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu’s Japanese transfer-pricing team. He has been with Deloitte’s Japanese transferpricing
team in Tokyo since 2004, where he works with a large team of economic and tax
specialists who consult and advise clients on all facets of transfer pricing.
Dr Meenan joined Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in New York in 1993 and has been
specializing in transfer-pricing consulting with Deloitte since then. He has extensive
experience in global transfer pricing, having also worked in London and Düsseldorf for
seven years in addition to his American and Asian assignments. Dr Meenan has wide
experience with advance-pricing arrangements, transfer-pricing planning and
implementation, documentation on a local regional and global basis, and transfer-pricing
tax audit defences. Some of Dr Meenan’s recent projects include:
• transfer-pricing tax audit defence in Japan, successfully defending a consumer products
company in a brand intangibles challenge;
• valuation of software and marketing intangibles for a leading software company and
planning/implementation of its transfer-pricing system;
• global planning and implementation of a residual profit split transfer-pricing model for
a leading information services company;
• residual profit split analysis and a successful bilateral APA agreement for a major
pharmaceutical company; and
• acting as expert arbiter in a transfer-pricing shareholders’ rights dispute between an
industrial goods manufacturer and its minority shareholders.
Dr Meenan has contributed to many leading authorities on transfer pricing. His recent
publications include “Europe as One Market: A Transfer Pricing Economic Analysis of
Pan-European Comparables Sets”, with Roman Dawid and Joerg Huelshorst, BNA Tax
Management Transfer Pricing Report (volume 12 no 23, April 14 2004) and “Recent
Developments in European Transfer Pricing”, with Setsuko Fukushima, International
Taxation (May 2004, in Japanese).
Dr Meenan is a frequent speaker and lecturer on valuation and transfer pricing at internal
and external conferences. He developed Deloitte’s pan-European and pan-Asian internal
transfer-pricing training courses (partner and manager levels), and has been consulted by
the tax authorities in Denmark, Malaysia and the Czech Republic on transfer-pricing
matters.
Before joining Deloitte in 1993, Dr Meenan was an economics professor at California
State University and Loyola College. He holds a PhD in economics from Purdue
University (W Lafayette, Indiana, US), MA and BA degrees in economics from Fordham
University (New York, US), and has been awarded the Chartered Financial Analysts
Charter.
