Transfer-pricing comparability requires functional similarity...

Transfer-pricing comparability requires functional similarity and reliable current-year segmental data. Bilcare Ltd. was excluded because of diversified operations, unavailable segmental data, and its pharmaceutical packaging profile, which differed from paper-based aseptic packaging for food and drink products. Karur KCP Packaging Ltd. was excluded because it produced kraft paper and polypropylene bags principally for the cement industry, making its products materially dissimilar. Earlier-year segmental data could not support current-year inclusion where relevant data was unavailable. The Tribunal's fact-based comparability findings disclosed neither error nor perversity, so no substantial question of law arose and the Revenue's appeal was dismissed; the separate Revenue appeal issue remained open.
