1 DOMESTIC TRANSFER PRICING By CA Ramesh S Iyer

2 Reasons for introduction The SC in the case of CIT vs. Glaxo Smithkline Asia Pvt Ltd [2010]195Taxman 35(SC) recommended introduction of domestic TP provisions. The Court has stated in Para 4 of its orderthe main issue which needs to be addressed is, whether Transfer Pricing Regulations should be limited to cross-border transactions or whether the Transfer Pricing Regulations be extended to domestic transactions. In the case of domestic transactions, the under-invoicing of sales and over-invoicing of expenses ordinarily will be revenue neutral in nature, except in two circumstances having tax arbitrage (i)if one of the related Companies is loss making and the other is profit making and profit is shifted to the loss making concern; and (ii)if there are different rates for two related units (on account of different status, area based incentives, nature of activity, etc.) and if profit is diverted towards the unit on the lower side of tax arbitrage. For example, sale of goods or services from non-sez area (taxable division) to SEZ unit (non-taxable unit) at a price below the market price so that taxable division will have less profit taxable and non-taxable division will have a higher profit exemption. 2

7 Brief Background Legislative history To ensure that Taxpayers carrying on business with related persons do not make excessive and unreasonable expenditure to such persons, provisions of section 40A(2) was introduced to ensure that payments are made to related persons in an amount not exceeding the Fair Market Value (FMV). To ensure that the profits of eligible units for availing the deduction under section 80A, 80IA, 10AA etc are not over stated, provisions were introduced in section 80A, 80IA, 10AA However, there was no effective system in place in the Statute to monitor/deal with the transactions with the related parties 7

8 Section 92BA Meaning of SDT For the purposes of this section and sections 92, 92C, 92D and 92E, specified domestic transaction in case of an assessee means any of the following transactions, not being an international transaction, namely:- (i) any expenditure in respect of which payment has been made or is to be made to a person referred to in section 40A(2)(b); (ii) any transaction referred to in section 80A; (iii) any transfer of goods or services referred to in sub-section (8) of section 80- IA; (iv) any business transacted between the assessee and other person as referred to in section 80-IA (10); (v) any transaction, referred to in any other section under Chapter VIA or section 10AA, to which provisions of section 80-IA(8) or section 80-IA(10) are applicable; or (vi) any other transaction as may be prescribed, and where the aggregate of such transactions entered into by the assessee in the previous year exceeds a sum of five crore rupees. 8

9 Scope of the definition The section applies to- 1. Expenditure incurred between related parties as defined u/s.40a(2). 2. Transfer of goods and services between business/units carried on by the same assessee which are eligible to deductions calculated on the basis of the profit earned. 3. Transactions between assessee carrying on eligible business and another person having close connection to the assessee to enable the assessee carrying on such eligible business to earn more than ordinary profits which he otherwise may have expected to earn. 4. Any other transaction that may be prescribed. 9

10 Calculating the limit of Rs.5 crores Limit of Rs.5 crores is aggregate of all the 6 limbs of SDT as specified in sec.92ba. Value to be taken as recorded in the Books. Issues- 1. Expenditure disallowed temporarily 2. Expenditure disallowed permanently 3. Whether Loan given/taken to be reckoned for calculating the limit. 4. Whether Capital expenditure to be reckoned for calculating the limit. 10

11 Brief Background Provisions under the Act: Section 40A(2)- Expenses or payments not deductible in certain circumstances. The existing provisions of clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 40A states that where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which payment has been or is to be made to any person referred to in clause (b) of the said section, and the Assessing Officer is of the opinion that such expenditure is excessive or unreasonable having regard to fair market value of the goods, services or facilities for which the payment is made or the legitimate needs of the business or profession of the assessee or the benefit derived by or accruing to him there from, so much of expenditure as is so considered by him to be excessive or unreasonable shall not be allowed as deduction. Inserted by Finance Act 2012 w.e.f Provided that no disallowance, on account of any expenditure being excessive or unreasonable having regard to the fair market value, shall be made in respect of a specified domestic transaction referred to in sec.92ba, if such transaction is at ALP as defined in clause (ii) of section 92F 11

12 Brief Background Relevant extracts of the Departmental Circular - Circular NO. 6-P, Dated and circular NO. 4-P[LXXVI-65], dated It may be noted that the new provision is applicable to all categories of expenditure incurred in businesses and professions, including expenditure on purchase of raw materials, stores or goods, salaries to employees and also other expenditure on professional services, or by way of brokerage, commission, interest, etc. Where payment for any expenditure is found to have been made to a relative or associate concern falling within the specified categories, it will be necessary for the Income-tax Officer to scrutinize the reasonableness of the expenditure with reference to the criteria mentioned in the section. The Income-tax Officer is expected to exercise his judgment in a reasonable and fair manner. It should be borne in mind that the provision is meant to check evasion of tax through excessive or unreasonable payments to relatives and associate concerns and should not be applied in a manner which will cause hardship in bona fide cases. 12

19 Brief Background Provisions under the Act: Section 80A - Deductions To Be Made In Computing Total Income The provision of the Explanation to sub-section (6) (inserted by Finance Act 2009, w.r.e.f ) of the aforesaid section 80A provides the definition of expression market value in relation to any goods or services sold or supplied and in relation to goods or services acquired as under: (i) in relation to any goods or services sold or supplied, means the price that such goods or services would fetch if these were sold by the undertaking or unit or enterprise or eligible business in the open market, subject to statutory or regulatory restrictions, if any; (ii) in relation to any goods or services acquired, means the price that such goods or services would cost if these were acquired by the undertaking or unit or enterprise or eligible business from the open market, subject to statutory or regulatory restrictions, if any. Inserted by Finance Act, 2012 w.e.f (iii) In relation to any goods or services supplied or acquired means the ALP as defined in clause (ii) of sec.92fof such goods or services, if it is a specified domestic transaction referred to in sec. 92BA 19

20 Provisions under the Act: Brief Background Section 80IA - Deductions in respect of profits and gains from industrial undertakings or enterprises engaged in infrastructure development, etc Sec.80-IA(8) Provides for adjustment of consideration paid to/received by, an eligible business of the assessee from any other business of the same assessee for receipt / provision of goods and services. Where the consideration does not correspond to the market value of such goods or services as on the date of the transfer, then for the purposes of deduction under this section, the profits of such eligible business shall be calculated as if the transfer was made at market value of such goods and services on that date. The Explanation to sub-section (8) of the aforesaid section 80-IA provides for the definition of market value in relation to goods or services, as the price that such goods or services would ordinarily fetch in the open market. Inserted by Finance Act, 2012 w.e.f Explanation For the purposes of this sub-section market value, in relation to any goods or services means- (i). The price that such goods or services would ordinarily fetch in the open market ; or (ii). The ALP as defined in clause (ii) of sec.92f, where the transfer of such goods or services is a specified domestic transaction referred to in sec.92ba 20

21 Sec 80A(6)/ 80IA(8) Covers intra division transfer of goods or services between eligible enterprises and non-eligible enterprises of the same assessee. Applies when consideration recorded in the accounts do not correspond to the market value of such goods or services as on the date of the transfer. This section envisages dealings between businesses carried on by the assessee. Non business activities like HO expenses, IT support, compliance, use of common resources, etc,which may be charged, to be out of purview of SDT. However, expenses on non-business activities should be distributed in a fair and commercial manner with proper justification for the same. Thus only marketable services rendered by inter units will have to be at ALP. Envisages both favourable as well as adverse adjustment. 21

22 Provisions under the Act Brief background Sec.80-IA(10) -The existing provisions provide that where it appears to the Assessing Officer, owing to the close connection between the assessee carrying on the eligible business to which this section applies and any other person, or for any other reason, the course of business between them is so arranged that the business transacted between them produces to the assessee more than the ordinary profits which might be expected to arise in such eligible business, the Assessing Officer shall, in computing the profits and gains of such eligible business for the purposes of the deduction under this section, take the amount of profits as may be reasonably deemed to have been derived there from. Inserted by Finance Act 2012 w.e.f Provided that in case the aforesaid arrangement involves a specified domestic transaction referred to in sec.92ba, the amount of profits from such transaction shall be determined having regard to the ALP as defined in clause (ii) of sec.92f 22

23 Other sections under chapter VIA to which 80IA(8) and 80IA(10) applies 80IAB- Income of an undertaking or enterprise engaged in development of SEZ. 80IB- Income from certain Industrial undertaking and Housing Projects etc. 80IC- Income from certain Industrial undertaking set up in Sikkim, HP...etc. 80ID- Income from hotels etc in Delhi, Faridabad and other specified districts 80IE- Income from eligible business undertaking in North Eastern States 23

24 Provisions under the Act: Brief Background Section 10AA - Special provisions in respect of newly established Units in Special Economic Zones.

No consequential enhancement of s.10aa/chapter VI- A deduction(first proviso to s.92c(4)) S.80A(6) /s.80-ia(8) /s.80-ia(10) adjustment leads to curtailment of tax holiday deduction leading to additional income and consequential tax, interest levy No corresponding adjustment in the hands of the recipient Penal consequences 29

(2) Mutual agreement or arrangement for allocation or apportionment of,or any contribution to any cost or expense incurred in connection with a benefit, service or facility provided or to be provided between the AE s shall be determined having regard to ALP. (2A) Any allowance for an expenditure or interest or allocation of any cost or expense or any income in relation to specified domestic transaction shall be computed having regard to ALP. (3) Section not applicable if the effect of the computation leads to reduction of income or increasing the loss. 30

31 Sec. 92 C Computation of ALP (1) Any of the following methods, being most appropriate method : (a) Comparable uncontrolled price method (CUP); (b) Resale price method (RPM); (c) Cost plus method (CPM); (d) Profit split method (PSM); (e) Transactional net margin method (TNMM); (f) other method of determination of arm s length price (AOM) (any method that takes in to account the price which has been charged or paid or would have been charged or paid for same or similar uncontrolled transaction with or between non associated enterprises) (2) Most appropriate method as per criteria laid down in rule 10C considering FAR analysis also. FAR : Functions performed, Assets employed, Risks assumed [Rule 10C(2)] 31

32 Selection of a transfer pricing method The applicability of a TP method depends on the comparability of controlled and uncontrolled transactions in terms of- Characteristics of property or services Functions performed Risks borne Contractual terms Economic circumstances Business strategies (Rule 10B of the Income tax Rules) Its applicability also depends on the availability of information, the reliability of assumptions and the sensitivity of deficits in data and assumptions 32

33 Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) Method Most Preferred method, if available Requires high degree of comparability Parameters of non comparison - Geographical difference Intangible Market share Bargaining strength Adjustments for Discounts Market penetration Warranties 33

34 Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) CUP can be- Method (contd) 1. Internal CUP- Transaction between a company and its related party and also between the same company with an unrelated party. 2. External CUP- Transaction between two unrelated parties used to bench mark transaction between a company and its related party. (Easily said than done) 34

35 Resale price method (rpm) This method compares the gross margins earned in transactions between related and unrelated parties for determination of ALP. Mainly applicable where controlled party is a distributor. Functional and not product comparability is more relevant in this method. This method is ideal for distribution activity specially where the sellers add relatively little value to the goods and do not alter the goods physically. This method measures the value of the functions performed. This method is used in cases where the reseller does not use any intangible assets to add value. 35

36 Cost plus method (CPM) Used mainly when a company works for its AE as a contract manufacturer. Applies to low risk bearing manufacturers. The ALP is calculated by adding a comparable profit margin to the Direct and Indirect Costs of product/service. 36

37 Transactional net margin method The comparable Net profit margin is adopted to compare profits of the assessee with that of comparable companies. The comparability can based on either the costs incurred, sales, assets employed, etc. 37

38 Profit split method This method is generally used when the transactions involve 1. Transfer of unique intangibles 2. Transactions between the AE s are so closely interconnected that the profits of each AE cannot be evaluated independent of the other. The overall profit of the entire group are split between the various group entities based on their relative contribution. 38

39 Other unspecified methods For the purposes of clause (f) of sub-section (1) of section 92C, the other method for determination of the arms' length price in relation to an international transaction or a specified domestic transaction shall be any method which takes into account the price which has been charged or paid, or would have been charged or paid, for the same or similar uncontrolled transaction, with or between nonassociated enterprises, under similar circumstances, considering all the relevant facts. 39

40 Section 92CA - Reference To TPO (1) AO may refer the computation of ALP to TPO (2) TPO to issue notice to Assessee to produce evidence in support of ALP (2A) Any other international transaction coming to notice of TPO* (2B) Non-furnishing of CA s report and TPO s power * (3) TPO shall pass the order determining ALP (4) AO to compute total income accordingly (7) TPO s power of summons (s.131), survey (s.133a) and collecting * 92CA (2A ) & (2B) do not cover specified domestic transactions and hence the TPO cannot suo moto upon the transaction coming to his notice apply the TP provisions 40

41 Section 92D : Maintenance and keeping information and document by persons entering into an international transaction Entity Related Price Related Transaction Related Industry analysis Group analysis Details of related parties Transaction terms FAR analysis Economic Analysis and Bench marking Forecasts, budgets, estimates Agreements Invoices Pricing related correspondence (letters, s, fax, etc.) The onus of proving SDT at ALP is on tax payer 41
