Transfer Pricing

Multinational enterprises are facing increased scrutiny from tax authorities in relation to transfer pricing. Failure to comply with documentation requirements could result in significant penalties.

This is why you need an experienced resource to assist your organization in developing transfer-pricing policies that are defensible and congruent with your company's overall tax planning. 

What is transfer pricing? The price that is charged for intercompany transactions involving products, services, or intangible properties in order to calculate each company's profit and loss separately. These transactions between related parties are subject to transfer pricing standards enforced by the IRS and taxing authorities worldwide. They may also be used to determine state income tax. The U.S. arm’s-length transfer pricing standard and penalty provisions are detailed in IRS Code Sections 482 and 6662, and applicable case law.
