Transfer pricing

Since 1995 the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is the main international legal instrument for regulating the taxation treatment of transfer prices.

On July 18, 2011 the federal law N227-FZ "About modification of separate legal acts of the Russian Federation in connection with enhancement of principles of determination of the prices for the purpose of the taxation" was passed.

The Tax code of the Russian Federation was supplemented by the Section V.1 "Interdependent persons. General provisions on the prices and taxation. Tax control in connection with transactions between interdependent persons. Agreement on pricing."
As of January 1, 2014, transactions between interrelated parties that are executed after January 1, 2014, in which one of the parties is not a tax resident of the Russian Federation, are controlled - even if the amount of the transaction is only one Ruble.

Further Information and detailed Explanations can be found in the letters of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation with the numbers No. 03-01-18/7-135 from October 3, 2012 andNo. 03-01-18/1-17 from January 18, 2014.
