TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS【TRANSFER PRICING】? 

What is Transfer Pricing?
Business transactions are divided into 【Related-party Transactions】 and 【Independent Transactions】.

【Related-party Transactions】occur when transactions are being carried out between two parties who are joined by a pre-existing business relationship or common interest, including transactions between the parent company and its subsidiaries.

Whereas【Independent Transactions】refers to the general transaction with the market where transactions between two entities that have no connection or affiliation with each other. These transactions are entered into by the parties based solely on their commercial interests and are not influenced by any existing relationship between the entities.

In short, transfer pricing is used to determine costs when related parties were required to transact between one and another.
Transfer price should not differ much from the market price. 🙅‍♂️ Thus, it is obliged to prove that price gap does not exist when transactions were being made between related party. 

How should you prove it？
In order to prove that the transfer price is within the arm's length price, it is necessary for you to prepare【Transfer Pricing Documentation】for authorities' review purpose to ensure fairness and accuracy of transfer pricing among related entities!!
Are you required to prepare 【Transfer Pricing Documentation】？ 
The concept of Transfer Pricing was first introduced into the Malaysian tax legislation effective 1 January 2009 with the enactment of the Section 140A of the Income Tax Act 1967, as well as the gazettement of the Income Tax (Transfer Pricing) Rules 2012 ("Malaysian Transfer Pricing Rules"). It governs the standard and rules based on the arm's length principle to be applied on transactions between associated persons.

In other words, taxpayers or any company that carried out any related-party transactions are required to prepare a【FULL】 Transfer Pricing Documentation if they meet ANY of the following requirements：
  • Annual revenue exceeds RM25 million and total amount of controlled transactions exceeds RM15 million; or
  • ​Provision of financial assistance exceeding RM50 million (does not apply to financial institutions)
However, there are EXCEPTIONS to【FULL】Transfer Pricing Documentation:
 - Total annual revenue is < RM 25 million; OR
 - Total value of related party transactions is < RM 15 million
 YOU MAY OPT TO PREPARE【LIMITED】TPD!
When Should TP Doc Be Made Available To The IRB?
TP Documentation was required to be submitted within【30 days】upon request by the IRB for TP audit cases which have commenced before 1 January 2021. 
HOWEVER, 
TP Documentation is now required to be submitted within【14 days】upon request by the IRB for TP audit cases which have commenced on or after 1 January 2021
How to Prepare a Limited Transfer Pricing Documentation?
2 Options as follows：

1. Engage with a Professional Tax Agent 
Transfer Pricing service offerings in the market easily cost more than RM10k due to the difficulties and complexity of documentation. Although it may be time-saving in the short-term, but it might not be cost effective in the long-run 

2. Learn from the Professionals and Do-It-Yourself
This option allows you to have a better understanding on the overall process of the Transfer Pricing documentation which give rise in a cost-effective way in the long-term as you no longer need to depend on the tax agent. 

Note: Penalty for failure to furnish TP Doc!

The Budget 2021 announcements gazetted under the Finance Act 2020 have tightened the Transfer Pricing compliance requirements in Malaysia with effect from 1 January 2021.
 Section 113B ：
Where a company fails to furnish TP Documentation upon request by the IRB, the taxpayer may be subject to a penalty of between RM20,000 and RM100,000（w.e.f. 1 January 2021）
