Introduction to Transfer Pricing
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of goods, services, and intangibles between related entities, such as a parent company and its subsidiaries. The goal of transfer pricing is to ensure that transactions between related entities are conducted at arm's length, meaning that the prices charged are comparable to those that would be charged between unrelated parties.

With a deep understanding of international tax laws and regulations, PwC provides expert guidance on transfer pricing planning, compliance, and dispute resolution.
