Transfer Pricing

What is the Transfer Pricing legislation?

It is a set of rules applicable to Brazilian taxpayers making trade and financial transactions with parties abroad, such as company headquarters and companies within the same economic group; or operating with companies located in tax havens holding exclusiveness over operations, although not related. Application of the legislation is compulsory and demands detailed calculations that must be submitted to the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service. Failure to comply with the rules may generate relevant tax adjustments, plus fines and interests.

What is the legislation main objective?

The main objective of the Transfer Pricing legislation is to inhibit loss of revenue by the Brazilian government, caused by the practice of price favoring between companies subjected to these rules.
