The article analyses an appellate tribunal decision rejecting a unilateral loan write off to a wholly owned subsidiary as a deductible bad debt or business loss, applying transfer pricing principles and surrounding circumstance tests to sustain a transfer pricing adjustment and disallow the write off for lack of commercial substance.
