Finance Ministry Retains Transfer Pricing Tolerance Band for AY 2025-26

Imagine companies that operate in different countries.

When these branches buy or sell things to each other, they need to use prices that are fair, like what unrelated companies would charge.

This is called 'transfer pricing'.

To make it easier, the government has a rule: prices are considered fair if they are very close to the 'fair price'.

There's a small wiggle room, called a tolerance band.

For some companies, this wiggle room is 1%, and for others, it's 3%.

The government has decided to keep these same wiggle room percentages for another year (2025-26).

This helps companies know what to expect and makes it easier to fill out their tax forms.

However, some experts think a new law might change how this works in the future, making these yearly announcements less important.
