Overview
What is Transfer Pricing Study & Compliance?
Transfer Pricing Study & Compliance in Palnadu District — in brief
Transfer Pricing (TP) is the pricing of transactions between associated enterprises (related parties) in different countries. Under Section 92 of the Income Tax Act, companies with international related-party transactions exceeding ₹1 crore must maintain contemporaneous TP documentation and file Form 3CEB (accountant's certificate) along with their income tax return. The TP study establishes that all inter-company transactions — loans, royalties, service charges, purchase and sale of goods — are at arm's length price (ALP) using OECD-approved methods. Transfer pricing audits by the Assessing Officer can result in significant additions to income. For clients in Palnadu district, Andhra Pradesh, Lorven Tax handles every step online with CA review and status updates.

The arm's length price is the price that independent, unrelated parties would agree to in similar transactions under similar circumstances. The Indian transfer pricing regulations require all international transactions between associated enterprises to be priced at ALP. If the tax department determines that the price is not at ALP, it makes an upward adjustment to the company's income, increasing its tax liability.
The Income Tax Act recognises six transfer pricing methods: Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP), Resale Price Method (RPM), Cost Plus Method (CPM), Profit Split Method (PSM), Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM) and the Comparable Uncontrolled Transaction (CUT) method for intangibles. TNMM is the most commonly used method for service transactions. We select and document the most appropriate method for each transaction type.
