John De Thomasis CPA, CA

Director, Head of Transfer Pricing - Stellantis (NA)

United States

About

I am a tax transfer pricing professional leading the North America transfer pricing function at Stellantis. With prior experience leading a regional practice at a big 4 firm and working for the federal government, I bring insight and expertise into cross-border tax matters affecting multinational corporations of all sizes. My greatest reward is finding simplified, value-adding solutions to complex transfer pricing problems while developing team members to share in this reward. I am a CA/CPA with 20 years of professional experience. With support from a global team of transfer pricing experts I plan cross-border transactions to achieve efficiency and effectiveness across a broad spectrum of transaction types and methodologies. I am responsible for TP documentation and compliance requirements and developing and executing APA filing strategies. I also design, develop and lead defense strategies against government transfer pricing audits and perform post-audit dispute resolution activities (i.e., competent authority and administrative appeals) in multiple jurisdictions. My administrative duties include scoping and planning transfer pricing projects, regular reporting to senior and/or executive management and navigating internal and external financial reporting and audit. I specialize in the Automotive Industry and Manufacturing sector. I’ve also worked closely with companies in the Greenhouse/Produce Marketing Industry, Consumer Goods Distribution and Tech sector. As a strong believer in continuous learning, I have contributed to the development of the curriculum for CICA’s In-Depth Transfer Pricing course, regularly speak or attend Transfer Pricing seminars on various topics, published articles through the Canadian Tax Foundation and provided commentary on foreign based information via PwC podcast.
