Talk:Transfer pricing

This page only discusses the the academic applications of transfer pricing. That's really only half the story (less than half the story really). Transfer Pricing among multi nationals is a huge issue, and I suspect that there are a number of people looking for information on that, only to find themselves facing supply and demand charts. Can a disccusion of actual transfer pricing occur here?

Transfer Pricing

The article is helful though I would prefer to see the associated math. To be realistic, the model needs to be evaluated in an oligopoly situation. Practically most of the companies that adhere to transfer pricing are mulitnational where there is a conflict of objective about maximising regional profits or overall company profits. Thus shifting profits becomes a primary driver, which can be realised more effeciently in an oligopoly. Regional differences also drive transfer pricing (eg monopoly in certain markets), which is why looking at the overall company as being a price taker is not realistic in multi economy frameworks. Nor is looking at overall monopolies helpful as price makers by defintion violate the arm's length principle. - anisc

Response:

1 - I could add the math, but someone would have to check it. My Lagrangian Calculus is a bit rusty.

Those charts really mess up the formatting of the text, IMO... ugen64 03:44, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

im resitting a Masters exam on this in a few says.. ive looked at various international/global marketing books nobody can explain transfer pricing properly this article is useless

go here instead http://www.solbaram.org/articles/clm503.html for better info EdgeUHF@Hotmail.com

The link is a useful article in understanding the practical tax consequences of transfer pricing. The current Wiki article is more theoretical and analytical. Now that you've finished your exam, how about adding some of the tax information to this article? mydogategodshat 17:32, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On behalf of those who found this article useful (likely the silent majority): Nice job. Thanks.

Transfer Pricing and Taxation by Manfred Davidmann

In layman's terms

Here's my explaination in layman's terms. Could be useful for someone rewriting the article.

Basically Tranfer Pricing is just a way to move your profits and it's commonly done to pay less tax. It's as simple as that! All you have to do is sell your goods at a higher price or lower price so that more profit is made in the country with the lowest tax. Simple. You just raise the price in the place with the higher tax. Jago25 98 17:32, 21 April 2006 (UTC)jago25_98[reply]
