Transfer Pricing Services
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of goods, services, and other transactions between companies under common ownership or control.
These transactions might include the sale of products, royalties on intellectual property, or service fees, and they must be priced as if they were conducted between unrelated parties at arm’s length. This ensures that taxable income is fairly allocated across countries, preventing businesses from shifting profits to lower-tax jurisdictions artificially.
A common misconception is transfer pricing only affects revenue. Transfer Pricing encompasses all types of intercompany transactions, including interest on loans, management fees, royalties on intellectual property, service charges, cost-sharing arrangements, and the purchase and sale of goods.
With a robust transfer pricing strategy, businesses can ensure compliance with U.S. tax law while protecting their financial interests.
