12.19.20 | Transfer Pricing Agreements

Our team consists of more than 30 employees and includes experienced TP generalists, industry experts and specialists (such as financial transactions, commodity markets and IP transactions), as well as specialists in TP data analysis and visualization. Our executives work with Russian lawmakers and the tax administration to support our clients and advance the transfer pricing agenda. “Transfer Pricing Agreement” is sometimes how a business owner or manager describes the document needed to prove a transaction in good faith and the length of the terms of the transaction vis-à-vis a tax authority. The term “agreement” can often be easily replaced by the term “documentation” in conversation. The term “documentation” refers to something different from a tax expert in a transfer pricing context and represents the requirements of paragraphs 247(a) (a) and b) of the Act, Part 7 of IC 87-2R and TPM 09, published on Cra`s website (not to mention the requirements of transfer pricing documentation in other countries). The international standard for determining reasonable transfer pricing is the principle of arm length. Under this principle, transactions between two related companies should yield results that are no different from those that could have resulted from similar transactions between independent companies in similar circumstances. This principle is mentioned in the U.S. transfer pricing rules (section 482 code and cash rules in it), transfer pricing guidelines and the UN transfer manual for developing countries. There are some countries (for example. B Brazil) who do not follow the international application of the principle of the length of arms. The Comparable Benefits (CPM) method[80] was introduced in the proposed regulations in 1992 and has been a major feature of IRS transfer pricing practice ever since.

Under CPM, the overall results of the tested party, not their transactions, are compared to the overall results of similar entities for which reliable data are available. Comparisons are made for the profit level indicator that makes profitability the most reliable for the type of business. For example, the profitability of a distribution company can be measured in the most reliable way relative to the return on turnover (earnings before tax as a percentage of sales). One of the frequently proposed proposals[107][108] Alternative to principled transfer pricing rules is the allocation of forms in which corporate profits are allocated based on objective business ratios, such as sales, employees or capital assets. Some countries (including Canada and the United States) thus distribute tax duties on their political subdivisions and recommended that the European Commission use them within the European Union.
