FAQ’s on Transfer Pricing
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related entities within a multinational corporation. Transfer pricing is crucial as it determines profit allocation and taxation across jurisdictions, ensuring fairness and compliance with tax regulations.
The arm’s length principle requires that transactions between related entities should be priced as if they were conducted between unrelated parties under similar circumstances. This principle ensures that transfer prices are fair, transparent, and aligned with market conditions.
Determining the arm’s length price involves conducting a comparability analysis, which includes identifying comparable transactions, analyzing relevant factors, and applying appropriate transfer pricing methods to determine a fair price.
Common transfer pricing methods include the Comparable Uncontrolled Price method, Resale Price method, Cost Plus method, Transactional Net Margin method, and Profit Split method. The selection of the method depends on the availability of data and the nature of the transaction.
