Transfer Pricing Turkey

Innovative Business Mind on Transfer Pricing Risk Assessment, Planning and Management

Why Transfer Pricing?

International business taxation and transfer pricing is at the top taxation agenda for not only multinational companies, but also governments. Transfer pricing is the price or amount at goods or services, tangibles or intangibles transferred/bought/sold between related parties/persons or associated enterprises.
In case, transfer pricing does not reflect market forces, free market prices and the arm's length principle, the tax liabilities of the associated enterprises and the tax revenues of the host countries could be distorted via transfer pricing. Governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of multinationals have not been manipulated and the profits are not distributed in a disguised manner via transfer pricing. However, multinationals are often faced with risks of double taxation sourced from the determination of arm’s length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with related enterprises. Transfer pricing does not necessarily mean that profit distribution in disguised manner via transfer pricing.
As a result of increased knowledge sharing and harmonisation studies among the world-wide tax authorities, and audit scrutiny by the national tax authorities; it is vital to multinational companies to implement accurate, consistent and defensible optimal transfer pricing/advance pricing policies and procedures as well as effective tax planning, valuation and risk management complied with the transfer pricing rules.

As a “complex tax rate optimisation work” at the core, transfer pricing always exposures financial risks which may lead to rather costly cross-border disputes with world-wide tax authorities. There are always similar Transfer Pricing risks for domestic group or holding companies of all sizes.
