ReadTransfer pricing
Transfer pricing in international trade and supply chains.
Transfer pricing frameworks for international trade transactions, intercompany arrangements, and cross-border supply chain structures.
Transfer pricing applies wherever related entities transact across borders — and the intersection with customs valuation, trade finance, and supply chain structures creates compounding complexity. Pricing that satisfies one jurisdiction's requirements may create exposure in another.
Organizations with intercompany trade flows need consistent, defensible transfer pricing that accounts for trade terms, logistics, risk allocation, and jurisdictional requirements. Documentation must hold up under audit across multiple authorities simultaneously.
Common risk areas
Where organizations typically encounter exposure in this area.
- Transfer prices inconsistent with arm's-length standards triggering adjustments
- Customs valuation and transfer pricing positions that conflict under audit
- Inadequate contemporaneous documentation for intercompany trade transactions
- Profit allocation that does not align with functional analysis and risk assumption
