Transfer Pricing

Cross-border transfer prices drive how much income tax a multinational company pays by country. Transfer pricing (TP) regulations apply to the intercompany prices of goods, services, royalties, and loans across all industries. Every $1M increase in TP = $90K in tax savings annually.

Example: US company (21% tax rate) selling to a foreign subsidiary (30% tax rate), increases TP in order to raise US profit and lower foreign taxable income. A $1 million increase in goods, royalties and/or service charges to subsidiary in a 30% tax jurisdiction yields income tax savings of $90,000 annually (30%-21%) x $1m.
