How much does Transfer Pricing Documentation cost in Canada?
Transfer Pricing Documentation starts at $From- $2500. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you review the deliverable with us before it is filed. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
What documents do I need for Transfer Pricing Documentation?
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the first call to our 24-hour helpline.
How long does Transfer Pricing Documentation take?
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
What happens if the CRA reviews or audits my filing?
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit support works.
Can you handle late or missed filings?
Yes. The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% of that balance for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of 12 months (CRA, 2025 tax year). Interest is what compounds, daily, on top. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Do you work with businesses outside major cities?
Yes. We are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
Which industries do you specialise in for Transfer Pricing Documentation?
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
What makes Transfer Pricing Documentation different from filing it myself?
Software applies the rules you told it about. It does not ask whether a treaty caps the withholding on that payment, whether the foreign credit was claimed in the right country, whether an information return was due on an account that earned nothing, or whether your related-party pricing is documented. Those are the questions that move the number on a cross-border file.
How do I find out what my filing will cost?
Call the 24-hour helpline, +1 (416) 619-0068. We establish which filings your position actually needs, then send a fixed fee in writing before any work starts — the number does not move once it is agreed.
Are there any hidden fees or setup charges?
No. All our pricing is fixed and transparent. Any additional charges (e.g., for transaction volumes beyond the package limits) are discussed and agreed upon upfront.
Will I have a dedicated accountant?
Yes. A certified tax accountant will be assigned to manage your account and will be available for direct support via email and phone.
Can you give a plain transfer pricing example?
A Canadian company manufactures at a cost of one hundred and its US subsidiary sells to customers for one hundred and eighty. If the parent invoices the subsidiary at one hundred and ten, most of the margin is taxed in the United States; invoice at one hundred and seventy and most of it is taxed in Canada. Nothing about the business changed — only which treasury collects. That is why the arm's length price, the one unrelated parties would have agreed, is the reference point both authorities use. See our transfer pricing work.
What are the transfer pricing methods?
Five, in two groups. Three compare transactions: comparable uncontrolled price, resale price, and cost plus. Two compare profits: the transactional net margin method, and profit split. The OECD asks for the most appropriate method on the facts rather than a fixed hierarchy; the United States applies a best-method rule to similar effect. Selection is itself a documented judgment, and a method chosen without recording why is a weak position under audit. See our transfer pricing work.
