Understanding transfer pricing: A key to global business success

May 23, 2025 / 4 min watch

Transfer pricing is essential for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions to support tax compliance, optimize profits, and improve cash flow. Intercompany pricing is based on the arm’s-length principle, requiring intercompany transactions to be priced as if between unrelated parties.

Does your international business have cash repatriation needs? Do you have trouble managing cash flow for your foreign operations? When it comes to expansion of your organization, whether in a domestic market or overseas, transfer pricing can help achieve your cash flow and tax objectives while meeting local compliance rules.

What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing is the allocation of profits or losses between related entities according to the functions they perform, the assets they own, and the risks they assume. Related parties subject to transfer pricing rules consist of two entities under common control or influence, whether a parent company and a wholly owned subsidiary or other ownership structures.

It’s critical to set an effective transfer pricing policy for intercompany transactions to optimize profits, drive growth, and help fulfill your business objectives.

In addition, local transfer pricing rules require certain documentation to support intercompany pricing.  Not meeting these requirements can lead to scrutiny from tax authorities, adjustments, and penalties. However, an effective transfer pricing strategy can help protect against taxable income adjustments while improving profitability and cash flow to keep your business growing.
