TRANSFER PRICING
The compliance requirements associated with transfer pricing reporting and documentation have increased all over the world. Because of the potential for cross-border controlled transactions to distort taxable income, business transactions between enterprises under common ownership or control must be checked and adjusted if differ from what would have been charged by unrelated enterprises dealing at arm’s length.
Non-compliance with transfer pricing rules may result in conflicts with Tax Authorities which can give rise to high taxes as a result of very large local tax reassessments and uncertainty about groups’ overall tax burden all over the world.
Following the introduction in the Cyprus tax system of specific transfer pricing requirements on intra-group financing arrangements, our transfer pricing team can assist you in the following areas:
- Determining whether the group’s activities are subject to the TP legislation;
- Perform analysis of the functions performed, assets used, and risks assumed by the reportable Cyprus tax resident financing company in order to identify the appropriate level of equity that would be needed to assume the risks;
- Perform comparability analysis of the transactions between related parties in order to ensure they are comparable to transactions between independent entities;
- Based on the results of the comparability, functional and risk analysis, benchmark the remuneration of the reportable entity against that generated by comparable transactions and circumstances between unrelated parties;
- Analyse the potential implications of the TP requirements related to future financing arrangements between related parties, identify the associated risks as well as remedial actions to take prior to implementation of such transactions;
- Prepare the Master file for submission to Tax Authorities and ensure that the relevant TP requirements are met;
