Transfer Price: What and


Why?
TP means the value or price at which
transactions take place amongst
related parties.
TP are the prices at which an
enterprise transfers physical goods and
intangible property and provides
services to associated enterprises
TP gain significance because these can
be used by the controlling party to
their advantage to minimise tax
incidence.

Transfer Price: What and


Why?

Approximately 60% of the total transactions across the


world are between related parties.

If the transactions are across different tax jurisdictions,


where tax rates are different, shifting is beneficial.

Resale price method

The resale price method begins with the price at which


a product is resold to an independent enterprise (IE)by
an associate enterprise.

X sold to AE at Rs. 1000 (profit: 300)

AE sold to an IE at Rs. 2000

(profit of Rs. 500 for relevant IE)

Arms length price = 2000 - 500 = 1500

not possible to evaluate separately.

profit so determined is split between the AE on the
basis of the functions performed/assets/CE

Cost Plus Method

In CP method, first the cost incurred is determined. An


appropriate cost plus mark-up is then added to the cost
to arrive at an appropriate profit. The resultant figure is
the arms length price.
