What is Transfer Pricing?
Transfer pricing refers to the prices charged for transactions between related entities – typically subsidiaries or branches – of the same multinational corporation. These transactions can involve the transfer of goods, services, technology, or intellectual property.Because these transactions occur within a single company, rather than between independent parties, tax authorities scrutinize them to ensure that profits are not artificially shifted to lower-tax jurisdictions. Proper transfer pricing is crucial for complying with tax regulations and avoiding penalties.
