INTRODUCTION
Under the provision of the Income Tax Act, 1967 and Transfer Pricing Guidelines, it requires taxpayers to determine and apply the arm’s length price on controlled transactions. These provisions further allow the DGIR to make an adjustment to reflect the arm’s length price for that transaction by substituting or imputing the price, as the case may be; and to disallow considerations for controlled financial assistance which are deemed excessive by restricting the deductibility of interest expense. It is common for a group of companies to centralise certain functions and standardise work process/procedures in order to achieve cost efficiency. Malaysian Transfer Pricing rules have put the burden of proof on taxpayers to demonstrate arm’s length charges. As such it is important to understand the requirements, in order to avoid non-compliance and penalties.
