What is the importance of transfer pricing?
Transfer pricing, the price determined for transactions between related entities, focuses on cross-border transactions, such as transferring goods, services, intangible assets and intercompany loans.
The process involves the setting of “arm’s length” pricing—which means prices comparable to prices that would be charged between two independent companies.
Tax authorities increasingly scrutinize transfer pricing to prevent companies from underpaying tax in countries by shifting profits to lower tax jurisdictions, thus increasing the risk of tax controversy. These audits are costly and time intensive, with potentially steep penalties.
A transfer pricing analysis does not remove the risk of an audit, but it provides support for the positions taken, reducing the imposition of penalties.
Transfer pricing studies help businesses manage profitability, increase efficiency and comply with federal tax requirements.
Our practice offers a range of options like benchmarking studies or economist/expert reports tailored to your industry and business practices.
