What Is Transfer Pricing?
Transfer pricing is the process of setting the prices for goods, services, and intellectual property that are bought and sold between related companies within the same larger organization.
For example, if a U.S. parent company sells products to its subsidiary in Germany, the price it charges is the transfer price. Tax authorities, like the IRS, require these prices to be "at arm's length" meaning they should be the same as if the two companies were unrelated.
This prevents companies from shifting profits to low-tax countries and helps ensure fair tax contributions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1What is the arm's length principle?
It's the idea that related companies should price their transactions as if they were unrelated, independent companies to ensure a fair and market-based price.
2Does transfer pricing apply to small businesses?
Yes, if a small business has cross-border transactions with a related company, it must comply with transfer pricing rules.
3What is a transfer pricing study?
It is a detailed report that documents the company’s business operations, analyzes its intercompany transactions, and explains why the chosen transfer prices are at arm’s length.
4How often do I need a transfer pricing study?
A new study is generally needed for new types of transactions, significant changes in your business, or new countries of operation. It's also wise to update them periodically to reflect current market conditions.
5How can transfer pricing help me reduce my tax burden?
