Institutional implementation of transfer pricing: global context and prospects for Ukraine

Two-thirds of global trade now consists of transactions between members of multinational enterprise groups. The extensive MNC structure requires efficient management and clear coordination between members of the group. The prices at which an enterprise transfers goods and intangible property or provides services to associated enterprises are transfer prices. Problematic aspects of transfer pricing (TP) are subject for academic investigations. Today, not only scientists but also national policy-makers, regulators, and international organizations are concerned with TP. At the same time, despite a large number of scientific publications, the general model of the TP system in the global context is still not sufficiently studied. Corporate activities lead to the erosion of the tax base (the state loses proper tax revenues). The question of searching for "sticking points" in the existing legislation and making the necessary amendments arises, that is why national policy-makers engage experts and cooperate on the basis of joint platforms. The platforms are intended for cooperation activating between countries and international tax organizations – the development and implementation of standards, development of the recommendations, and exchange of information about MNCs activities on a global scale. The authors suggest the next necessary actions for effective TP control in Ukraine based on the following steps: fulfillment of the commitments to implement the BEPS action plan; taking into consideration global experience and coordination of action concerning TP with international institutions (OECD, UN, EU); defining TP as a special system phenomenon within the fiscal policy and creating the appropriate regulatory and structural support for effective coordination between process participants; TP monitoring processes for the improvement and development of the methods of TP risk assessment.
