If you conduct business with related legal entities in your country or abroad, you are obligated to submit a report or a study on transfer prices by June 30 each year to the competent tax administration. This study should show that the transactions between your affiliates are carried out at market prices, or if it is established that they are not, the company is obligated to calculate and pay the additional income tax on that basis. If you have such transactions, we will do a professional analysis of all the elements relevant to the particular situation and compile a transfer pricing study, taking into account all the circumstances and facts that are in your favour.
