Services transactions are the most challenged transaction in the Malaysian region. Why?
Because is easy to challenge. Most authorities know very well what to expect and how to challenge they are well trained. In other words is
easy money to get.
The myth that using the “cost plus 5% mark-up” practice for any intra-group services transaction makes an organisation compliant with
transfer pricing regulations runs deep and is widely followed, but is ultimately erroneous.
During this webinar, participants will gain practical tips to manage a company’s transfer pricing policy and processes with regard to
intra-group services transactions.
In multinational enterprises, it is common for parent companies or group service companies to provide intra group services to related parties. These services are outsourced to the group service provider for business convenience and efficiency reasons.
Malaysian Taxpayers who use the 5% markup concession are still required to prepare documentation to address other fundamentals aspects of a service charge.
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related parties, such as sales of goods, provision of services, or financial arrangements. To ensure these transactions are conducted at arm’s length, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) requires taxpayers to prepare Transfer Pricing Documentation (TPD).
