Overview
Transfer Pricing Services for Your Business
At Bestax, we help Canadian companies stay compliant with the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) transfer pricing regulations. We aid companies with mitigating audit risks and optimizing tax efficiency.
This sets the value for goods, services, or assets exchanged between related companies. In Canada, these transactions must follow the arm’s length principle, meaning prices should reflect what independent parties would agree to.
Getting it right matters. Doing this properly ensures profits are reported accurately in Canada and helps you avoid costly penalties or adjustments.
Our team helps you build a strong strategy. We prepare clear documentation, assess risks, and design policies that meet standards. We also support you through audits, assist with arrangements, and make sure your cross-border transactions remain compliant and defensible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what clients ask us most about transfer pricing. Still stuck? Send us the question.
What is transfer pricing, and why is it important?
This means setting prices for goods, services, or intangible assets traded between related companies, like a parent company and its subsidiary. It is important as it ensures profits are reported fairly and helps avoid CRA penalties or adjustments.
Who needs to follow Canada’s rules?
Any Canadian business or individual that deals with related companies outside Canada must follow these rules.
What is the arm’s length principle?
It’s the idea that related companies must price their transactions as if they were dealing with independent businesses.
What forms are required for reporting?
Canadian businesses must file certain CRA forms to report related-party transactions. Bestax helps you prepare and file these forms accurately and on time.
What is contemporaneous documentation, and why is it important?
This is the paperwork that supports your decisions, such as contracts, pricing methods, financial data, and comparable market information. Keeping this documentation is important as it shows the CRA that you made reasonable efforts to comply. It can also help you avoid penalties if your business is audited.
How can Bestax help with Advance Pricing Arrangements (APAs)?
We guide you through the CRA’s APA process, which allows you to agree in advance on methods for future transactions. This gives you certainty, reduces disputes, and ensures ongoing compliance.
What happens if the CRA audits my transfer pricing?
If you’re audited, the CRA will review your prices, documentation, and methods. Bestax provides full support; we help you respond to CRA inquiries, defend your pricing policies, and minimize any adjustments or penalties.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
If your transfer pricing isn’t supported properly, the CRA can apply a 10% penalty on certain adjustments under the Income Tax Act. Additional fines may apply for late or incomplete filings. We help you stay compliant to avoid these risks.
How often should I update my documentation?
You should update it every year or whenever there’s a major change in your intercompany transactions. Bestax regularly reviews and updates your documentation to keep it current and compliant.
