Transfer Pricing Study

When your business has transactions with a controlled foreign related party, you are required to have contemporaneous documentation (or a transfer pricing study). A transfer pricing study examines the pricing of controlled transactions between related parties. By applying and documenting various testing methods, it attempts to determine whether the transactions were conducted at arm’s length and will survive scrutiny from the IRS and other tax authorities.

In addition, transfer pricing is also required to be included in the accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, which are described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes, under FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), and the Company is required to disclose FIN 48 under the income tax footnote to the financial statements. In addition, beginning with the 2010 tax year, corporations with both uncertain tax positions and assets equal to or exceeding $10 million will be required to file Schedule Uncertain Tax Positions if they or a related party issued audited financial statements.
