Abstract

In this age of liberation and globalization Transfer Price has become an important issue. This issue has been discussed extensively in business literature over the past three decades or so. With the expansion of business activities of companies into the international arena, the problem has acquired new dimensions. Multinational enterprises today transfer large proportions of their total output between related business companies. Approximately forty per cent of all international trade consists of transfers between related business entities. In the context of multinational corporations (MNCs) the problem takes on new and more complex proportions as a result of complicating variables such as differential taxes, tariffs, government regulations, political risks, inflation and the like.
