1. A bad transfer pricing question
This one is not exactly a “resource,” but we have to start somewhere. Take this hypothetical example of an assignment question for the transfer pricing exercise course:
A company exports its exceptional hand-manufactured widgets to an arm’s length party at US$100 each. The arm’s length party then sells the widgets back to the US company at their cost of US$85 each. This results in a profit of $15 per widget, which is more than the company receives when it sells its widgets to a third-party retailer for $100. While the company is happy with this arrangement, the revenue department of their tax authority is livid with them. The government department claims that the company should be reporting a loss of US$15 per unit on their tax return and they should not be able to claim any tax relief at all.
How might your transfer pricing exercise department respond to this situation? What would you advise your client to do?
