ALP checkWith a suggested margin
Into Corporate TaxAdjustments carried to the return
Transfer Pricing, in detail.
Related parties, connected persons and every related-party transaction tested at arm’s length — with suggested margins, all five OECD methods and adjustments carried to Corporate Tax.
01
Ownership graph and organogram
Record who owns whom, and from when. TRICS draws the organogram for any date and derives related parties and connected persons from it.
Related parties (Article 35)
Connected persons (Article 36)
Loss-transfer (75%) and tax-group (95%) tests
02
A register of every transaction
Each related-party invoice, service charge and loan is recorded with its item, cost, price, margin and counterparty.
Goods, services and financing arrangements
Invoice references and dates
Margins shown on the right basis for the method
03
ALP check and suggested margin
Every transaction is tested against its benchmark range. Where it falls outside, TRICS suggests an arm’s length margin and the adjustment it implies — the preparer decides.
Interquartile ranges from your benchmarks
Below- and above-range results flagged
Adjustment calculated per transaction
04
Studies, benchmarks and agreements
ALP studies, benchmarking sets and intercompany agreements are kept with the transactions they support.
Benchmarking files on record
Agreements linked to transactions
Final studies locked for audit
05
Disclosure and documentation
Keep track of the thresholds for the transfer pricing disclosure form, master file and local file across your entities.
Disclosure form requirements
Master file and local file triggers
Payments to connected persons monitored
06
Into the Corporate Tax return
Transfer pricing adjustments flow to the Corporate Tax return of the entity concerned, split across the related-party rows they relate to.
No re-keying between modules
Every adjustment traceable to its study
Reviewed with the return it affects
Every OECD method.
The preparer chooses the method for each transaction; TRICS applies it consistently and checks the result against the benchmark.
