Companies Face Tariff-Induced Transfer Pricing Audit Risks

President Donald Trump's widespread tariffs are boosting tax dispute risks for companies that are scrambling to understand how to factor the new trade duties into their transfer pricing and tax planning without attracting an audit. Tariffs raise the prices of imported goods, meaning companies importing products from their own affiliates may have to—or want to—adjust the pricing of those transactions to meet transfer pricing rules that require them to treat the deals as though they were done at arm's length, with unrelated parties. The added cost of the tariff will likely knock the pricing for many goods out of that arm's-length range, so companies may have to adjust these prices to stay compliant. Additionally, companies may be able to make adjustments to mitigate the tariff impacts by reducing the price the US entity pays for the good. These adjustments can attract scrutiny, however, from both tax and customs agencies. And growing geopolitical tensions may make it hard for companies to rely on tax dispute resolution mechanisms like mutual agreement procedures. In this episode of the Talking Tax Podcast, Crowe LLP transfer pricing practice leader Sowmya Varadharajan talked with reporter Caleb Harshberger about the choices, and risks, companies are facing.
