FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Transfer Pricing

Find answers to the most common questions on transfer pricing, required documentation, and international tax compliance. Practical information and examples for your business.

What is transfer pricing?

Transfer pricing refers to the value set for goods, services, or financing transactions between related companies. These must follow the arm’s length principle to comply with tax regulations.

Why is transfer pricing important?

Because it ensures that intra-group transactions are carried out at market conditions, preventing penalties, tax adjustments, and double taxation from tax authorities.

What is a Local File in transfer pricing?

The Local File is mandatory documentation detailing a specific entity’s related-party transactions, economic analysis, and applied policy. It is required under OECD BEPS and local tax regulations.

What is a Master File in transfer pricing?

The Master File compiles global information of a multinational group: organizational structure, value chains, intangibles, financing, and transfer pricing policies. It must be consistent with each country’s Local File.

What are the limits for the documentation obligation in Spain?

- Transactions per counterparty: there is no obligation to document if the total amount of transactions with the same related party is less than €250,000 in the fiscal year.

- Master File: it is exempt when the net turnover of the consolidated group is less than €45 million.

- Simplified content: if the consolidated group’s net turnover is less than €45 million, the regulations allow preparing documentation with simplified content, except for specific transactions (intangibles, real estate, businesses, unlisted securities, or with entities in non-cooperative jurisdictions), where full documentation is always required.

Note: To consult the limits and obligations in other countries, please review our OECD section.

What are the deadlines for submitting transfer pricing documentation?

The documentation must be available on the corporate tax filing date. The tax authorities may request it at any time and usually grant very short deadlines for submitting it. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare the documentation within the legal deadlines, avoiding doing so after the fact, as a report prepared after the request can be questioned and even penalized.

When can my company be required to document its transfer pricing policy?

Whenever it carries out related-party transactions, domestically or internationally. The obligation to prepare documentation depends on local thresholds and OECD BEPS requirements.

What consequences can result from not complying with transfer pricing regulations?

Noncompliance can result in significant tax adjustments, increasing the tax base and generating additional taxation. Furthermore, failure to provide adequate documentation can lead to specific penalties, both financial and procedural, and increase the risk of conflicts with tax authorities, both in Spain and internationally.
