Why Transfer Pricing Matters: A Simple Example
Transfer pricing determines how much one company in a group charges another company in the same group for goods, services, or intellectual property.
For example, Your Hong Kong company manufactures electronics and sells them to your Singapore subsidiary for distribution. Transfer pricing rules require that the price charged between these related companies reflects what independent parties would charge in similar circumstances (the “arm’s length principle”).
If the Hong Kong company sells at HK$100 per unit:
Too low?
Hong Kong tax authorities may argue you’re shifting profits to Singapore and adjust your taxable income upward
Too high?
Singapore authorities may make similar adjustments on their end
Just right?
Proper documentation and benchmarking studies demonstrate the price is commercially reasonable
Why it matters:
Without proper transfer pricing documentation, tax authorities in either jurisdiction may challenge your pricing and impose adjustments, penalties, and interest charges.
