Transfer pricing documentation and planning: what the file has to prove
Transfer pricing is the requirement that transactions between related companies in different countries be priced as unrelated parties would have priced them — the arm's-length principle — and that the taxpayer be able to show it. The documentation is prepared contemporaneously: a description of the group and its industry, the functions each entity performs, the assets it uses and the risks it bears, the transactions between entities, the method chosen to test each one and the benchmark of comparable independent transactions that supports the price.
The consequence of not having it is not just an adjustment but a penalty on the adjustment, in Canada and in most other countries, and the adjustment in one country is not automatically mirrored in the other, so the group is taxed twice on the same profit until a mutual-agreement procedure resolves it. Planning is choosing, in advance, an intercompany model — who owns the intangibles, who bears the risk, who earns the residual — that the group can defend and can live with.
- Functional analysis of each entity and each intercompany transaction, which decides the method and the benchmark.
- Contemporaneous documentation — master file, local file and the benchmarking studies — prepared to each country's standard and deadline.
- Intercompany agreements and pricing policies set before the year, so the results match the documentation rather than the other way round.
Our group is small. Do the transfer-pricing rules still apply? Yes. The arm's-length requirement applies to any cross-border related-party transaction; some countries have simplified documentation or safe harbours for smaller groups, and those are used where they exist.
What is a benchmarking study? A search of databases of independent companies or transactions comparable to the tested one, producing a range of arm's-length results the intercompany price is measured against; it is what turns a method into evidence.

Key Transfer Pricing Documentation & Planning Tax Terms, Defined
- T1135
- The foreign income verification statement Canadian residents file once specified foreign property passes $100,000 of cost at any time in the year (CRA, 2025 tax year).
- Tax Treaty
- The bilateral agreement that allocates taxing rights between two countries and relieves double taxation.
- Withholding Tax
- Tax deducted at source on cross-border payments — Canada's 25% Part XIII rate is often reduced by treaty.
Contemporaneous documentation prepared with the return is the cheapest insurance in international tax; reconstructing it during an audit is the most expensive.
Related-party cross-border pricing must satisfy the arm's-length principle; Canada's contemporaneous documentation rules (s.247) expose undocumented positions to transfer pricing penalties once adjustments pass the statutory threshold. Engagements are quoted as a fixed fee for a defined scope, and reviews of prior-year filings are included where earlier positions affect the current one.
Transfer Pricing Documentation & Planning — published fixed fees
Covers: A documented search: screening criteria, quantitative and qualitative filters, a manual rejection log with reasons, and the resulting range with the tested party's position in it.
What moves it up: How defensible the comparables have to be. A study intended for a filing and a study intended to survive an audit are different pieces of work.
See this fee pageCovers: The local file for one entity: functional analysis, method selection with the alternatives explained, comparables with the search documented, and the results tested against the range.
What moves it up: The number of transaction types. Goods, services, royalties and financing are four analyses rather than one, and each needs its own method and its own comparables.
See this fee pageCovers: A written opinion on whether the activity creates a taxable presence, what would be attributable to it if it did, and what could be changed to alter the answer.
What moves it up: How many people and places are involved. One employee working from home is one analysis; a sales team, a warehouse and a contractor with signing authority is several.

Transfer Pricing Documentation & Planning Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We work with clients wherever they live, from our offices in India, the USA, Canada and the UAE, and your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage by country and region to find yours.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and the points tax authorities scrutinise. See all industries we serve.
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.
Our transfer pricing documentation & planning services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.
You can start by calling our 24-hour helpline on +1 (416) 619-0068 or sending the form. We will review your files, provide a fixed quote, and start working immediately.
The obligation follows the existence of cross-border transactions with related parties, not the size of the group — which surprises founders with one foreign subsidiary and a management fee. Size affects which report is required: a local file, a master file, a country-by-country report. In Canada the practical trigger is timing, because documentation prepared by the filing due date is what stands between an adjustment and a penalty on top of it. See contemporaneous documentation in Canada.
An agreement with a tax authority, in advance, on how a category of intercompany transactions will be priced for a set number of years. Unilateral arrangements bind one country; bilateral or multilateral ones bind both sides of the transaction and are what actually removes the risk of an adjustment in one country without relief in the other. They take real time and full disclosure, so they suit large recurring flows rather than one-off transactions. See our transfer pricing work.

Cross-border situations we are engaged for
Growing group's first transfer-pricing documentation prepared ahead of a review
A group whose related-party transactions had grown without any formal transfer-pricing documentation needed a first set of documentation prepared before a review made the gap urgent. We reviewed the group's intercompany transactions and prepared the documentation covering the group's actual related-party activity.
Group's documentation refreshed after a change in its intercompany transaction volume
A group whose intercompany transaction volume increased significantly needed its transfer-pricing documentation refreshed to reflect the new scale, since the prior documentation no longer matched the group's current activity. We reviewed the change in volume and refreshed the documentation to reflect the group's current position.
Multi-entity group's documentation aligned across every related-party relationship at once
A group with several related-party relationships across different countries needed its documentation aligned across all of them at once, so no two files told a different story about the same intercompany terms. We reviewed every relationship together and produced a consistent set of documentation across the whole group.
A Group File That Had to Describe the Whole Group
The master file is a picture of the business rather than of one company, and it has to agree with what each local file says. Assembling it surfaces inconsistencies between entities that nobody had compared.
Read how this one runsA Country-by-Country Report and Who Files It
The obligation sits with the group and the filing can fall on a surrogate where the parent's jurisdiction does not exchange. Establishing who files where comes before preparing anything.
Read how this one runsTwo Wills, Two Jurisdictions, One Estate
A will drawn for one country can revoke another or fail to reach assets held abroad. The review checks how each instrument interacts with the other and where probate will actually be required.
Read how this one runsA Shareholder Loan Across a Border at No Interest
An interest-free loan between related companies is priced as if it carried interest, and in some cases a deemed benefit follows as well. The file sets a rate against the borrower's own credit profile and documents the terms that support it.
Read how this one runsThe Two-Year Window After Returning to India
Returning residents pass through a transitional status in which foreign income is largely outside the Indian net. The engagement establishes when the window opens and closes, and puts the transactions that benefit inside it.

Core International & Cross-Border Tax Services
Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.
Industries & Client Types We Serve Worldwide
Cross-border tax for sellers shipping worldwide: marketplace withholding, foreign registrations and inventory nexus handled before they become audits.
Marketplaces withhold, remit and report in their own right, so the tax position of a single sale is decided by where the stock sat, where the buyer was and which platform collected — not by where the company is registered. We reconcile the platform's own filings against the returns before either is submitted.
