United States TRANSFER PRICING for professionals

Overview

The United States is a member of OECD.
The TP principle is cited in the US transfer pricing rules (Code Section 482 and the Treasury regulations thereafter), TP Guidelines, and the UN Transfer Pricing Manual for Developing Countries.
IRS has authority under Section 482 to reallocate income or expenses if it found that the transaction had not been conducted at arm’s length.

Related Party

Controlled taxpayer means any one or two or more organizations, trades or businesses are owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the same interest.
In general, “control” does not need to take any special form. For instance, there is no requirement for a certain percentage of the voting power or value in an entity to establish control.

The test is based on the facts and circumstances, with such factors as family or business relationships often considered. Control could be direct or indirect, including control resulting from the actions of two or more taxpayers acting in concert or with a common goal or purpose.

Transfer Pricing method

All transfer pricing methods outlined in the OECD guidelines may be accepted.

Below is the acceptable TP method. The taxpayer shall choose the best method for the analysis of the related party transaction.

1. Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP)
2. Resale price (RPM)
3. Cost-plus (CPM)
4. Comparable Profit Method (CPM)
5. Profit-Sharing Method
