Transfer pricing

“Transfer pricing” expression identifies the procedure used to determine the appropriate ‘transfer price’ when transferring the ownership of goods/services/intangibles via inter-company transactions. 

The transfer pricing procedure is widely used to determine the normal value of the prices or profits related to the transaction between two associated companies resident in Countries with different taxation rules (cross-border), i.e. two companies belonging to the same multinational.

The pricing agreed in international financial transactions between companies belonging to the same group, or connected to each other, is a sensitive area in two ways: direct taxes and customs duties. 

In the case of an inter-company purchase:

• According to the Tax Agency, the price should not be increased as by doing so, the tax basis of assessment would result lower than the one expected in Italy.
  
• According to the Customs Authority, the price should not be lessened with the sole purpose of lowering the customs duty when importing the goods.
  

Easyfrontier stands by your side to precisely determine the correct transfer price in inter-company transactions.
