Transfer pricing deadlines
Since globalisation is on the rise, more and more companies are doing business abroad. When doing business in other countries, it is important to keep track of different tax rules per country. International tax rules are subject to change and can therefore be challenging for companies. Transfer pricing transactions between different entities of one company must be at arm’s length and properly documented. Depending on the country, companies are obliged to document this by means of local files or as a separate transfer pricing report. Moreover, these reports are subject to transfer pricing deadlines. For incidental transfer pricing transactions such as restructurings, separate reports can also be prepared.
Transfer pricing compliance requirements
Compliance within the transfer pricing discipline is about meeting all regulations, both national and international. (Timely) preparation of transfer pricing documentation is crucial for all transfer pricing compliance requirements. Increasingly more countries around the world are implementing regulations for transfer pricing documentation. Different countries can have various transfer pricing compliance requirements. All these requirements have transfer pricing deadlines. Important requirements include preparing a master file, preparing local files and country-by-country reporting. The transfer pricing deadlines differ per country and per requirement.
Master file
The master file is an annual transfer pricing compliance requirement in most jurisdictions. This file is prepared on a group level and its contents focuses on describing the context in which intercompany transactions take place.
Local files
The local files are an annual requirement on a jurisdictional level, depending on the local tax legislation and thresholds that vary per jurisdiction. The contents of the local files focuses on describing the local organization and its material intercompany transactions.
Country-by-Country reporting
Country-by-Country reporting is – for most countries – only required for MNEs with a consolidated turnover of more than 750 million euros. It is an annual requirement in most jurisdictions. The report provides information by country for high-level transfer pricing risk assessment purposes.
Transfer pricing compliance deadlines
Companies sometimes determine a compliance strategy based on various factors such as risk appetite and resources. For example, it may not be feasible to pursue the highest level of compliance due to limited resources. A compliance strategy is in that case very helpful. An important factor in this process is to create a priority list and timeline that includes the required transfer pricing deadlines based on urgency.
On the other hand Tax authorities embed transfer pricing compliance deadlines in local laws. The deadlines can vary per jurisdiction and local documentation requirement. It is important to be aware of these mandatory transfer pricing filing deadlines, as missing deadlines might cause penalties. In the end, a missed deadline is costly and not unburdens you from any obligation.
