Transfer Pricing

What are Transfer Pricing Services?

Transfer pricing determines how goods, services, and intangible assets transactions are priced at arm’s length between related companies across different countries. As businesses expand globally, it becomes critical to ensure inter-company transactions follow arm’s length pricing, in line with Indian laws and OECD guidelines.

Transfer pricing is a key part of global tax management. Errors or inconsistencies can result in double taxation, penalties, or reputational issues. At Stratrich, we help businesses design, document, and defend transfer pricing policies that are compliant, practical, and commercially effective.

Why Transfer Pricing Matters for Businesses

In the global economy, transactions between related entities are an integral part of international trade. Effective transfer pricing protects businesses from disputes, double taxation, and financial penalties.

Beyond compliance, well-managed transfer pricing adds up to transparency, facilitates long term tax planning, and ensures that pricing accurately represents value creation and compensation of functions performed by each entity in value chain. It is not just about meeting legal obligations but also about creating a strong and consistent global tax framework for sustainable growth.
