MULTINATIONALS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRATEGIC AND TAX TRANSFER PRICES

Charles E. Hyde

No 822, Department of Economics - Working Papers Series from The University of Melbourne

Abstract: Multinational enterprises engaging in cross-border, intrafirm trade can use a different price for cost accounting purposes than used for tax accounting purposes. This possibility has not been previously modeled. We study the implications for how both transfer prices are set under separate entity and formula appointment approaches. The relationship between the two prices in the presence of penalties for noncompliance with arm's length pricing is also examined. The results are shown to be robust to alternative market structures and imperfect taxation.
