It is a good practice for taxpayers to set up a process to establish, monitor and review their transfer prices, taking into account the size of the transactions, their complexity, level of risk involved, and whether they are performed in a stable or changing environment. Such a practical approach would conform to a pragmatic risk assessment strategy or prudent business management principle. In practice, this means that it may be reasonable for a taxpayer to devote relatively less effort to finding information on comparables supporting less significant or less material controlled transactions. For simple transactions that are carried out in a stable environment and the characteristics of which remain the same or similar, a detailed comparability (including functional) analysis may not be needed every year.

- TPG2022 Chapter III paragraph 3.80One question that arises when putting the need for comparability analyses into perspective is the extent of the burden and costs that should be borne by a taxpayer to identify possible comparables and obtain detailed information thereon. It is recognised that the cost of information can be a real concern,...
- OECD COVID-19 TPG paragraph 9The unprecedented change in the economic environment following the outbreak of COVID-19 creates unique challenges for performing comparability analysis. The pandemic may have a significant impact on the pricing of some transactions between independent enterprises and may reduce the reliance that can be placed on historical data when performing comparability...
- OECD COVID-19 TPG paragraph 10The challenges associated with performing a comparability analysis may vary depending on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economically relevant characteristics of the accurately delineated transaction. For example, if a controlled transaction is covered by a pre-existing intercompany agreement (for example, if in 2018 it was determined that...
- OECD COVID-19 TPG paragraph 11In principle, any form of publicly available information regarding the effect of COVID-19 on the business, industry and controlled transaction may be relevant in ascertaining the arm’s length nature of an enterprise’s transfer pricing policy implemented for FY 2020. The following sources of information may support that determination through the...

- OECD COVID-19 TPG paragraph 14Information relating to the conditions of comparable uncontrolled transactions undertaken during the same period as the controlled transaction (“contemporaneous uncontrolled transactions”) is the most reliable information to use in a comparability analysis.

- OECD COVID-19 TPG paragraph 15In some instances, comparability analysis can be performed using contemporaneous (or near contemporaneous) uncontrolled transactions. For example, publicly available commercial databases typically have current or recent information on financial transactions between unrelated parties, which may provide reliable information on which to base comparability analyses under current economic conditions. Similarly, taxpayers...
