What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing analysis involves the determination of “arm’s length” pricing—the prices that would have been charged on comparable transactions between two unrelated companies. It focuses on cross-border transactions of goods, services, intangibles, and financing.

 

Why effective transfer pricing strategy is important

Tax authorities scrutinize transfer pricing to prevent companies from shifting taxable income from a high to lower-tax jurisdictions. This increases the risk of tax controversy.

Transfer pricing audits are costly and time intensive, with potentially steep penalties. While a transfer pricing analysis cannot eliminate audit risk, it provides support for positions taken, reducing the likelihood of penalties.

Transfer pricing studies also help businesses manage profitability, increase operational and tax efficiency, and comply with tax requirements.
