Frequently asked questions
What is transfer pricing?
Transfer pricing is how companies set prices for goods, services, intangibles or money exchanged between connected parties e.g. between two members of the same corporate group.
Why does transfer pricing matter?
Tax authorities want to make sure companies aren’t shifting profits to countries with lower taxes and ensuring the right amount of profits are being taxed in the correct jurisdiction. Transfer pricing helps ensure each country gets its fair share of tax.
What is the “arm’s length principle”?
Broadly, it means that prices (and other commercial terms) between related companies should be the same as if they were dealing with an unrelated company.
Do businesses need to keep records?
Yes. Most countries require companies to keep documents showing how they set their prices and why those prices are fair. This helps avoid problems during tax audits. Documentation and filing requirements can vary from country to country.
