International Transaction Transfer Pricing

Every cross-border dealing between associated enterprises โ€” goods, services, royalty, financing โ€” must be priced at arm's length under Section 92B. We benchmark, document and defend all of it.

Overview

What counts as an international transaction

Under Section 92B, an international transaction is any transaction between two or more associated enterprises, where at least one is a non-resident, involving the purchase/sale of goods, provision of services, lending or borrowing, intangibles, or cost allocation/reimbursement arrangements. If your Indian entity transacts with any related overseas group company, this is almost certainly in scope.

๐ŸŒ

Who this applies to

Indian subsidiaries of multinational groups, Indian multinationals with overseas operations, and any Indian company transacting with a related non-resident entity above the โ‚น1 crore threshold.
