Frequently Asked Questions

What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing refers to the cost of goods and services when sold between related business entities within the same corporate group. For example, if a subsidiary company provides a good or service to its parent company, or even to another subsidiary of that parent company, the price of that transaction is known as the transfer price.

Why does transfer pricing matter?

Transfer pricing helps assure that transactions between related business entities are on par with the fair market value. But transfer pricing also provides an opportunity to allocate profits and improve a company’s global tax strategy. Through the strategic application of transfer pricing, a company can reduce its global tax exposure while maintaining compliance with international regulations.

Contact Aprio today to learn more about how transfer pricing can help your multinational company maximize profits and reduce costly penalties.

What is the “arm’s length” principle?

Simply put, the “arm’s length” principle means that any transaction between related business entities (such as a parent company and its subsidiary) should be treated as if it were occurring between unrelated or unaffiliated parties.

This means that any conditions of the transaction, including the transfer price at which a good or service is sold, should be on par with the price that two independent parties might agree upon under similar circumstances.

How often should transfer pricing documentation be updated?

Transfer pricing documentation should be reviewed and updated annually—or whenever your business structure, transactions, or jurisdictions change. Aprio helps ensure your reports stay compliant with evolving global regulations.
