For many businesses, whether they are situated in the United States or abroad, taxation that is based on transfer pricing is becoming a significant concern. Extensive general rules and standards that apply when the taxpayer chooses the transfer pricing technique have been attempted to be imposed by the regulations. These procedures impose sanctions for selecting a transfer pricing mechanism improperly.
