For the purposes of clause (f) of sub-section (1) of section 92C, the other method for determination of the arms' length price in relation to an international transaction shall be any method which takes into account the price which has been charged or paid, or would have been charged or paid, for the same or similar uncontrolled transaction, with or between non-associated enterprises, under similar circumstances, considering all the relevant facts."3. In rule 10B of the said rules, in sub rule (1), after clause (e), the following clause shall be inserted, namely:-"(f) Any other method as provided in rule 10AB."

Backdrop:Will allow TPO to adopt bright line test etc.. under "Other method". Pursuant to the decision in the case of Genom Biotech.Also a fall out to the clarified definition of international transaction and intangibles in the recent Finance Act 2012.

Impact:Need to have an uncontrolled transaction to use this method. Transactions that could be covered under "other method": quotations, revenue splits, valuation, reimbursements, cost allocations etc.

Glaxo SmithKline Asia (P) Ltd [26 Oct 2010] suggested inclusion of certain domestic related party transactions within the ambit of Transfer Pricing Provisions

SDTs included within the ambit of Transfer Pricing regulations with effect from 1 April 2012 - Section 92(2A) & Section 92BA Specified Domestic TransactionsIf one of the related Companies is loss making and the other is profit making and profit is shifted to the loss making concernIf there are different rates for two related units (on account of different status, area based incentives, nature of activity, etc.) and if profit is diverted towards the unit on the lower side of tax arbitrage.Sub Section 2A introduced in sec 92 and new section 92BA has been introduced in the TP regs33Coverage Analysis ?

Fair Market Value801A(10)Profits Close connectionMore than ordinary profitsincluding SEZsSpecified Domestic TransactionsCertain transactions with domestic related parties / persons have been included in the realm of the transfer pricing regulationsIf a given transaction qualifies as an SDT with effect from 1 April 2012 it has to comply with the transfer pricing regulations on par with international transactionsPrimarily the arm's length standard has to be adopted for SDTs and compliance to be duly documentedPenal consequences are entailed in case of non-complianceif SDTs are not planned proactively the same could result in potential double taxationThere are potential overlaps with other laws such as the Companies Act, 1956The APA provisions as of now do not cover SDT

34Existing Provisions vis-a-vis domestic TP applicabilityValue =< Rs. 5 croresValue > Rs. 5 croresPosition in the IT Act remains same as it is till FY 2011-2012 i.e.disallowance of expense which is excessive or unreasonable having regard to FMV, legitimate needs or benefit derived

re-computation of tax holiday deduction having regard to market value or ordinary profits

no method to measure FMV, needs or benefits, ordinary profits

only reporting in Form 3CD or Form 10CCBDomestic TP provisions applicable i.e.

disallowance of expense which is excessive or unreasonable having regard to 'arms length price'

re-computation of tax holiday deduction having regard to 'arms length price'

prescribed methodology to compute 'arm's length price'

in addition to reporting in Form 3CD or Form 10CCB, additional reporting in Form 3CEB duly certified by a Chartered AccountantIn summary, where aggregate transaction value

does not exceed Rs. 5 crores - no additional compliance burden since no change in position of the IT Act as beforeexceeds Rs. 5 crores - additional TP compliances will trigger

Then, it was mere reporting of transactions in Form 3CD and Form 10CCB, Now, reporting of justification of a price charged along with arm's length price in Form 3CEB (this form would undergo change to accommodate domestic TP)

Then, generic justification or comparison was still sufficient, Now, scientific justification based on prescribed methods is to be maintained

Then, normal documentary evidences were sufficient, Now, TP documentation supported by robust supportings required

Then, related party transactions used to be scrutinized at the assessment stage by the Assessing Officer, Now, the assessee is duty bound to maintain justification and file mandatory Chartered Accountant's report at the threshold

Then, related party transactions not so closely scrutinized by the AO, Now, there will be aggressive monitoring by the TPO/AOTax position then and now !!Specified Domestic Transactions

Compliance requirement Due date of submissionObtain accountants report in Form 3CEB

Accountants report is a brief summary of international transaction (s) and SDT along with the method used to justify the arm's length nature. This document is to be certified by a Chartered Accountant or a firm of Chartered Accountants30th November

of each Assessment Year for international transactions or SDT undertaken during the relevant financial year (April March)

TP documentation (TP Study)

TP study is a detailed documentation relating to international transaction (s) or SDT which is used to justify their arm's length nature. This documentation is to be annually maintained if the aggregate value of the international transaction(s) entered by the assessee exceeds Rs. 1 crore or the aggregate value of SDT exceeds Rs. 5 croresAssessee is required to maintain contemporaneous documentation and need to submit documentation on request by income tax department
