How Transfer Pricing Works

Understanding the Arm’s Length Principle

The Arm’s Length Principle is considered the cornerstone of transfer pricing. The concept guarantees that businesses set prices for transactions between related companies as if they were unrelated entities. This principle aims to prevent businesses from manipulating prices to shift profits across borders, thereby reducing or avoiding tax liabilities. Additionally, it protects companies from double taxation, ensuring that transactions are fairly taxed in both the Philippines and other jurisdictions involved.

An Overview of Transfer Pricing Methods

There are multiple methods to align your company’s prices with the arm’s length principle. The choice depends on the nature of transactions and the availability of comparable data in the market. Some enterprises often use combinations to attain a more reliable transfer pricing strategy.

\

Resale Price Method (RPM)

When a company buys a product from another to resell, this method is employed. It involves setting the transfer price based on a percentage markup on the product’s resale price.

\

Profit Split Method (PSM)

In this method, related entities allocate profits based on their respective contribution to the value creation. This is typically employed when multiple entities collaborate on a product or service.

\

Cost Plus Method (CPM)

The transfer price is determined by adding markup to the value of a product or service by considering the cost of production.

\

Comparable Uncontrollable Price (CUP) Method

CUP method involves comparing the price of a product or service between related parties with the price in the open market.

\

Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM)

This determines the transfer price by comparing the net profit margin of a related party with the net profit margin of competitors in similar transactions.

Advantages of Transfer Pricing

When dealing with a new market, professionals can help you navigate through the complexities and ensure fair prices based on the product’s economic distribution.

Competitive Advantage

When your company has sound transfer pricing strategies, you can have an edge for customers, investors, and other stakeholders. You can generate higher profits and position your company in the global market.

Enhanced internal transparency and coordination

Transfer pricing can ensure that all of your departments maintain consistent values for your products. Moreover, it encourages collaboration between different units within your enterprise.

Income tax and duty cost reduction

Since transfer pricing allows departments to offer products at a lower rate, it’s also reflected in the overall cost of the product. In turn, this leads to more competitive values and balanced profits.

Risk mitigation

Experts can look into your existing policies and identify potential risks. When you consider transfer pricing, you can make strides to address concerns and avoid the risk of penalties or disputes.

Legal compliance

Adopting sound transfer pricing practices ensures that you abide with the local tax laws and regulations. This reduces the likelihood of your company to be involved in legal challenges with tax authorities.
