Transfer pricing
Do you have multiple companies or does your company operate in several countries? In such a situation, you may not just have external customers but internal customers (your own companies) as well. You are then required, under both national and international law, to support the prices and other conditions for the mutual use of services, goods or rights of your company correctly. This is called "Transfer Pricing".
The importance of Transfer Pricing
With more international activity, your tax obligations toward various foreign governments will also be extended. Higher levels of cross-border transactions therefore require a more extensive - and consistent - registration in your records of the underlying transactions within your group. A good record of the internal transfer prices applicable within your enterprise is indispensable and a key component of your risk management. After all, a lack of good Transfer Pricing documentation may result in time-consuming and costly discussions with various tax authorities and/or in your profits being taxed double.

Rules in the Netherlands
At the end of 2015, additional legislation relating to Transfer Pricing came into force. This has major implications for international companies with one or more companies or permanent establishments abroad. From the 1st of January 2016 onwards, a distinction has been made on the basis of the consolidated group turnover with respect to the documentation requirements and defining group information. We refer to the document in the link below for more detailed information. However, Transfer Pricing is not only an issue in international situations. Under Dutch law, companies are also under a statutory obligation to document transactions between divisions conducted within the same country.
