Methods of Transfer Pricing

There are various methods used for determining transfer prices, depending on the nature of the transactions and the industry in which the entities operate. Some common transfer pricing methods include:

  • Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) Method: This method compares the price of the controlled transaction with the prices of similar transactions between unrelated parties.
  • Cost Plus Method: In this approach, the seller adds a markup to the production cost to determine the transfer price.
  • Resale Price Method: The resale price method involves applying a margin to the resale price of the goods to determine the transfer price.
  • Profit Split Method: This method allocates profits between related entities based on their contribution to the value chain.
  • Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM): TNMM compares the net profit margin of the tested party with that of comparable independent entities.
