Why we solve transfer pricing
Tax regulations stipulate that transfer pricing must adhere to the arm’s-length principle, that is, prices that align with those which would be negotiated between independent entities under standard business conditions. Breaching this principle could result in additional tax liabilities, inclusive of interest and penalties. While the formulation of transfer pricing documentation is not currently obligatory in the Czech Republic, each taxpayer is required to validate the facts presented in their tax declarations and submissions. The frequency of transfer pricing audits in the Czech Republic is steadily increasing and is undeniably a focal point for the Czech tax administration.
Typical transactions between related entities encompass, for instance, the sale of intermediate or finished products, the provision of management and marketing services, rights to utilise intangible assets (such as licences), the sale or leasing of tangible or intangible property, the furnishing of financial resources within a group of related entities, the provision of guarantees, and other forms of securities, among others.
