Transfer Pricing Advantages

For management accounting and reporting purposes, MNCs have the freedom to a certain extent to decide how they will allocate the profits and the expenses to the subsidiaries present in various countries. These subsidiaries might be divided into various segments or might just be a standalone business. In such cases, transfer pricing helps in allocating revenue and expenses to its nationwide/international counterparts in an efficient manner.

 

One of the critical factors for the profitability of such Subsidiaries’ are the prices on which the inter-company transactions take place. Nowadays, inter-company transactions are heavily scrutinised by government authorities.
