William Dodge is a partner with Deloitte Tax, and director of the global and US
transfer-pricing team. He has worked in New York, London and Tokyo, where he served
many of the firm’s largest US and non-US clients. His industry experience includes the
pharmaceutical, chemical, telecommunications, automotive, electronic components and
finished goods, and consumer product sectors.
While in Tokyo, Mr Dodge worked extensively in transfer pricing, both with respect to
Japanese companies investing in the United States and US and European corporations
operating in Japan. Mr Dodge managed a special study carried out for a consortium of
Japanese trading companies and, following the study, prepared their submission for
public hearings. He then represented them in private meetings with the IRS concerning
US transfer-pricing regulations.
Since his return to the United States, he has worked exclusively in transfer pricing,
including planning and documentation studies, audit defence, competent authority and
advance-pricing agreements. He managed a US-Japan competent-authority proceeding
involving the use of secret comparables for an automotive industry company. Mr Dodge
recently managed an engagement in which the firm’s Washington and Tokyo transferpricing
teams assisted an industry coalition of multinational companies in devising
defence strategies against transfer-pricing audits by the tax authorities in Japan.
Before his Tokyo assignment, Mr Dodge was the partner in charge of the US
corporate tax group in the London office, where he was responsible for tax services to
many significant foreign-based multinationals investing in the United States.
Mr Dodge has been selected for inclusion in the 2002, 2004 and 2006 editions of the
Guide to the World’s Leading Transfer Pricing Advisers, has been published in
Euromoney’s International Tax Review, and was selected for the 2003, 2005 and 2007
editions of the Guide to the World’s Leading Tax Advisers. Mr Dodge is a member of
