What is transfer pricing, and who must comply?
Transfer pricing is the pricing of transactions between related companies. Simply put, the law asks that these deals match market rates. Therefore, profits are not shifted unfairly between entities. Above all, the arm’s-length principle is the core test.
Many businesses must comply. First, companies with cross-border related-party deals fall under it. Next, some domestic related-party transactions do too. Also, they must keep documentation and file Form 3CEB. Because the rules are technical, expert help is essential.
