Transfer Pricing Advisory




  • Transfer Pricing refers to the pricing of
    goods, services, or intangible assets transferred within multinational
    corporations or related entities. It’s crucial for companies to adhere to
    arm’s length principles, ensuring transactions between affiliated entities
    are priced fairly as they would be between unrelated parties. Transfer
    pricing advisory involves providing guidance on setting appropriate transfer
    prices to comply with tax regulations and optimize overall profitability.



  • A transfer pricing study examines the
    pricing of transactions between related two or more associates. By applying
    and documenting various test methods, it is determined whether the
    transactions are conducted under market conditions and survive the scrutiny
    of tax authorities. A study of transfer pricing shall justify how a
    particular method is selected for enterprises and transactions being
    reviewed.

Indian Income-Tax And Double Tax Avoidance Agreements Analysis




  • Analyzing Double Tax Avoidance Agreements
    (DTAAs) is crucial for businesses and individuals engaged in cross-border
    activities to manage their tax liabilities effectively. These agreements are
    bilateral or multilateral treaties between countries aimed at preventing
    double taxation of income earned in one country by a resident of another
    country.



  • The analysis of DTAAs involves a
    comprehensive review of the provisions within these agreements to understand
    how different types of income, such as dividends, interest, royalties, and
    capital gains, are taxed in each jurisdiction. It also entails determining
    tax residency status based on specified criteria like physical presence,
    place of incorporation, or management control.



  • One key aspect of DTAA analysis is examining
    the methods provided by the agreement to avoid double taxation, such as the
    exemption method, credit method, or deduction method. Understanding these
    methods helps taxpayers optimize their tax positions and comply with the
    relevant tax laws.
