Elements of transfer price documentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In accordance with the provisions in force from 01\/01\/2019, transfer pricing documentation is prepared on two levels:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Local transfer pricing documentation,<\/li>
  2. Group transfer pricing documentation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Elements of local transfer pricing documentation (local file)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Description of the related entity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. description of the management structure and the organizational chart of the related entity<\/li>
    2. description of the underlying activities of the related entity<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Description of the transaction, including analysis of functions, risks and assets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. the object and type of the controlled transaction<\/li>
      2. information on related entities participating in the controlled transaction<\/li>
      3. functional analysis of related entities participating in the controlled transaction, taking into account significant changes compared to the previous financial year<\/li>

      6. payments received or transferred related to a controlled transaction, including set-offs of mutual claims<\/li>
      7. contracts, intra-group agreements or other documents relating to a controlled transaction<\/li>
      8. tax agreements or interpretations relating to a controlled transaction, including advance pricing agreements, concluded with tax administrations of countries other than the Republic of Poland or issued by these administrations<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Transfer pricing analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • indication of the method used to verify the transfer price together with a brief justification of the choice<\/li>
        • indication of the party or transaction subject to examination as part of the transfer-pricing analysis, if it results from the indicated method used to verify the transfer prices<\/li>
        • description of the benchmarking, or<\/li>

        • reference of the transfer price to the result of the analyzes (benchmarking or compliance analysis), with justification for deviations, if any<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          From 01.01.2019<\/strong>, transfer pricing analysis is a mandatory element of the local transfer pricing documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are two formulas for preparing a transfer pricing analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Comparative analysis<\/strong> – analysis of data of unrelated entities or transactions concluded
          with unrelated entities or between unrelated entities considered comparable to the conditions established in controlled transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n

          If the preparation of a comparative analysis is not appropriate in the light of a given transfer pricing verification method or it is not possible with due diligence, the taxpayer prepares a compliance analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Compliance analysis –<\/strong> an analysis showing compliance of the conditions under which the controlled transaction was concluded with the terms that would be established by unrelated entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Financial information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • approved financial statements for the financial year prepared on the basis of accounting regulations,<\/li>
          • a description that enables the allocation of financial data relating to a controlled transaction to an item in the financial statements or to other information contained therein.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            The detailed scope of the elements of local transfer pricing documentation is specified in the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of December 21, 2018 on transfer pricing documentation in the field of corporate income tax \/ personal income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n
