What is Benchmarking Analysis in Transfer Pricing?
Benchmarking analysis is the economic analysis at the heart of transfer pricing. It involves identifying comparable uncontrolled transactions or companies and using their financial results to determine what an independent party would have charged for the same transaction. The most widely used method in India is the Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM), which compares the net profit margin of the tested party with comparable companies. Rigorous benchmarking is critical — both for setting arm's length prices and for defending them in a transfer pricing audit.
