A crucial component of transfer pricing documentation are intercompany agreements or contracts. An intercompany agreement represents arrangements that, from the standpoint of each participating company in the group, make business sense. If the intercompany agreements are absent or flawed, taxpayers may be subject to unwarranted tax audits, fines, and penalties.
Intercompany agreements, sometimes known as "ICAs," are contracts between related parties, such as businesses that are part of a multinational group. They specify the conditions of intra-group transactions, including those involving products, services, loans, and intellectual property. ICAs are a crucial component of the documentation for transfer pricing. Tax authorities anticipate seeing them, and if agreements aren't present or aren't valid, they'll draw their own judgments about the intercompany transactions' nature. You could be subject to unneeded tax audits, fines, and penalties if those conclusions don't match your tax filings.
ICAs must be consistent with the group's transfer pricing principles, its actual business practises, and the way it manages its finances, assets, and intellectual property. Additionally, ICAs must include provisions that, in the eyes of each participating enterprise, make financial sense. Your tax and business goals may be compromised by a flaw in one of these areas. Prior to the beginning of your group's financial year, ICAs should be prepared and signed. This is so that agreements that are implemented retroactively won't likely be completely effective. When you are confirming or revising your transfer pricing policies for the upcoming year, you should actually do this.
In order to provide a consistent picture of your group's intercompany transactions for the current year and future years, it is still worthwhile to put in place ICAs now.
