Introduction to transfer pricing

What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing is the process of setting the prices for goods, services, and intellectual property exchanged between related entities within a group. This practice is essential to ensure that transactions are conducted at arm’s length, safeguarding tax compliance and optimising global business strategies.
