    <title>Multinational Firms Win Transfer Pricing Battle: TNMM Method Validated, Interconnected Transactions Recognized as Single Economic Unit</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=87485</link>
    <description>ITAT adjudicated a transfer pricing dispute involving international transactions. The tribunal found that tax authorities erroneously rejected the Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM) for determining arm&#039;s length pricing. The ITAT held that the disputed transactions were intrinsically linked and should be aggregated, with the assessee&#039;s calculated margins of 16.99% being acceptable. The tribunal criticized the tax authorities for arbitrarily segregating transactions without substantive evidence or comparability tests. The decision affirmed that interconnected transactions related to a single product line can be evaluated holistically. Consequently, the ITAT ruled in favor of the assessee, setting aside the transfer pricing adjustments and rejecting the tax department&#039;s separate transaction assessment approach.</description>
