Transfer pricing is determination of compliance of pricing in transactions between related parties that are typically part of the same holding company (group of companies) or with counterparties registered in low-tax jurisdictions or counterparties that do not pay income tax in their jurisdiction.
Thus, transfer price means the price set in business transactions between different members of a single group of companies and corresponds to the “Arm’s length” principle.
Setting a price in transactions between such companies, taking into account the “Arm’s length” principle is called transfer pricing.
Building of complex economic relations and involving counterparties from other jurisdictions allow, through the regulation of internal price, redistributing total profit of a group of persons in favour of the ones in countries (territories) with lower taxes.
