What will be an ideal response?


Transfer pricing is important in tax accounting because transfers of goods or services often occurs across different tax jurisdictions (countries, for example). The transfer price affects the revenue and cost that are reported in the different jurisdictions. If the different jurisdictions have different income tax rates, the total tax liability across all jurisdictions will depend on the transfer price.
