Awareness on Transfer Pricing Compliance
Transfer Pricing is setting of the price for goods and services sold between related legal entities with an enterprise. For instance, if a subsidiary company sells goods to a parent company, the cost of those goods is the transfer price. Any company that has an office in more than 1 country and is transacting with its subsidiary or parent company, is liable to maintain TP reports.
The Canadian statutory rules on transfer pricing are administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and are contained in sec 247 of Canadian Income tax act (ITA). The CRA’s administrative policy with respect to enforcing Canada’s transfer pricing rules had been summarized in Information Circular 87-2R, International Transfer Pricing (IC 87-2R). Effective December 30, 2019, the CRA “cancelled” IC87-2R and moved it to an archive section of its website, without offering a replacement.
According to a Notice to Tax Professionals released by the CRA on February 26, 2020, IC 87-2R was cancelled because it was inconsistent with the interpretation and application of Canadian transfer pricing legislation, and did not reflect updated guidance from the OECD. Changes in Canadian transfer pricing rules may be coming soon, either in response to the Cameco decision or to the OECD’s Pillar One and Pillar Two proposals.
