Tax LawTax LawAbout Pierre G. Alary
Transfer pricing, tax disputes and international tax are the core of Pierre G. Alary's work. Alary is a partner with Gowling WLG in Ottawa, serves as the firm's National Co-Leader for Transfer Pricing & Tax Dispute Resolution, and sits on its Transfer Pricing and Competent Authority Group.
When the Canada Revenue Agency comes calling, Alary steps in at both the audit and the appeal stage, on domestic questions as well as cross-border ones. The international side covers things like residence, permanent establishments, withholding tax, e-commerce and employees working across borders. A lot of the work is forward-looking, too: Alary secures Advance Pricing Arrangements that cover future tax years, helps clients resolve Mutual Agreement Procedure cases, and prepares contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation.
Called to the Ontario bar in 2010, Alary earned an LLB cum laude from the University of Ottawa the year before. Clients can work with Alary in French or English.
Alary's writing has run in a long list of tax journals, among them Practical International Tax Strategies, the Transfer Pricing International Journal and The International Tax Review, and it was cited in the 2022 Practitioner's Income Tax Act. Accountants may also know Alary from CPA Canada's course on managing transfer pricing.
