Transfer pricing study:proving your prices are fair.

A transfer pricing study is the analysis behind your intercompany prices: what the Indian entity does, what it owns, what risks it takes, which method fits, and how its results compare with independent Indian companies. A good study is the strongest defence in an assessment.
