Theme:

'Transfer Pricing by Multinational (Global) Enterprises'

One of the most controversial and often least understood of a multinational's operations is that of Transfer Pricing.

When one part of a multinational organisation in one country transfers (that is, sells) goods, services or know-how to another part in another country, the price charged for these goods or services is called 'transfer price'. This may be a purely arbitrary figure, meaning by this that it may be unrelated to costs incurred, may be unrelated to operations carried out or to added value. And the transfer price can be set at a level which reduces or even cancels out the total tax which has to be paid by the multinational.

In other words it is possible for a multinational company to minimise its liability for corporation tax by transfer pricing.

Say a multinational has increased its profits in such ways. As the government's expenses have not changed it must make up this shortfall elsewhere. From its other tax payers, say from its citizens. So its citizens pay more tax, the government can now spend the same amount as before, the multinational's profits have increased.

In other words, the multinational's increased profits arise from money which is in effect collected by the government by taxation from its taxpayers.

Studies published in the USA, for example, tell us much about the extent to which multinationals can avoid paying tax on their profits. These present a disturbing picture.
