Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers a Transfer Pricing Audit in India?
Audits are often triggered by high-value international transactions, significant payments to related parties in low-tax jurisdictions, consistent losses by an Indian subsidiary, or failure to file Form 3CEB correctly.
What documents do tax authorities check during a TP assessment?
The Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) will scrutinize your Form 3CEB, detailed Transfer Pricing Study Report, FAR (Functions, Assets, Risks) analysis, benchmarking data, master file, and local file documentation.
Can a Transfer Pricing Audit lead to penalties?
Yes. If the TPO determines that transactions were not at an arm’s length price, they will make an upward adjustment to your taxable income. This can result in significant additional tax demands and heavy concealment penalties under the Income Tax Act.
