About this lesson

Transfer pricing isn't just about moving goods between divisions—it's a tool to minimise tax, reduce import duties, manage foreign exchange risk, and build competitive advantage across borders. You'll explore the main pricing approaches (market value, cost-based, and variable cost methods), see why tax authorities scrutinise each one differently, and work through a practical example showing how changing transfer pricing policies directly impacts overall company profit. This is essential knowledge for PM and SBL papers, where multinational scenarios frequently test your ability to evaluate financial decisions in complex international environments.
