Multinational enterprises are typically engaged in the transfer of goods, intangibles and services with affiliated companies. To determine tax liability in each tax jurisdiction (e.g., U.S. vs. foreign), a defensible, arm's length transfer price has to be determined and applied. Transfer pricing involves the process of determining the appropriate price one related-party charges another.
Because of certain “high profile” court cases and IRS audits involving transfer-pricing issues, multinational enterprises recognize the need for a transfer pricing analysis to support the amounts charged between related parties.
