What is Transfer Pricing
& Why Does It Matter?
Transfer pricing refers to the supply chain interaction within a company or between subsidiaries under a common ownership structure.
Transfer pricing has become increasingly relevant in a globalized world. Multinational Companies (MNCs) are the new norm. This means intracompany transactions happen internationally where multiple legal structures intervene to make a web of complicated compliances.
Why Transfer Pricing Compliance is Crucial
Regulatory bodies such as the OECD, the IRS, and region-specific tax authorities are paying close attention to transfer pricing regulations. The arms-length principle, i.e, ensuring that intracompany prices are fixed with the same process as intercompany prices is a key guiding principle from these authorities. Here is why this compliance and proper documentation is crucial for companies:
- Avoid penalties and audit risks
- Prevent disputes and double taxation
- Easier tax planning and transactions
- Ensure fair market value to create external economies of scale
Common Transfer Pricing Challenges & Risks
Challenges that MNCs may face while undertaking transfer pricing range from strategy to documentation.
- Understanding overlapping and complex legal requirements within the US, European Union, and growing economies such as India and Brazil
- Constant and diligent documentation in line with IRS requirements and revenue classification
- Functional assessments in intercompany transactions, particularly in intangible assets
- Adopting and understanding economic strategies such as profit shifting while avoiding regulatory scrutiny.
