Transfer pricing refers to the rules and methods for pricing transactions between related companies, such as subsidiaries of a multinational corporation. It ensures that these transactions are conducted at arm's length, meaning they are priced as if the companies were unrelated.

Together, Amit and Robin discuss the importance of transfer pricing for transactions between related companies. They cover key concepts like the arm's length principle, OECD guidelines, and compliance with global regulations, particularly in the U.S. and India.

Join us as we explore how transfer pricing ensures fair transactions, addresses tax revenue concerns, and helps businesses navigate international tax laws.
