Optimising international taxation and complying with transfer pricing regulations is an essential challenge for any business group with operations in different countries. In an increasingly demanding and regulated environment, specialised advice can reduce tax risks, optimise the tax burden and strengthen corporate reputation.
At Gutiérrez Pujadas & Partners, we have been helping multinational companies design efficient transfer pricing policies for over 35 years, in line with OECD standards and Spanish and international regulations.
What are transfer prices?
Transfer prices are the values assigned to transactions between related companies, such as subsidiaries, branches or companies in the same group located in different tax jurisdictions. These transactions may include:
- Sale of products and raw materials.
- Provision of services between companies in the group.
- Transfer of intangible assets such as patents or trademarks.
- Intragroup loans and financial transactions.
The main purpose of regulating transfer pricing is to ensure that these transactions are carried out in accordance with the arm’s length principle, i.e. that they are agreed as if they were independent companies. This prevents profits from being artificially transferred from one country to another in order to reduce the tax burden.
Importance of Transfer Pricing Compliance
Failure to comply correctly with transfer pricing obligations can lead to significant tax adjustments, financial penalties and reputational damage. Tax authorities in Spain and other countries are increasing control and international cooperation to detect abusive practices.
Having a clear strategy, complete documentation and constant monitoring is essential to:
- Reduce tax risks and disputes with the authorities.
- Ensure the deductibility of intra-group expenses.
- Avoid adjustments and fines for lack of justification.
- Optimise the international tax structure.
