    <title>Prior APA methodology guides transfer pricing benchmarking where consistent FAR profiles support comparability and arm&#039;s length margins eliminate adjustment.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=103808</link>
    <description>A prior Advance Pricing Agreement remains persuasive for transfer pricing benchmarking outside its covered years where the transaction and functions, assets and risks profile continue; departure requires material differences in those factors or economic circumstances. In software-distribution comparability, functional similarity takes priority over turnover, and turnover-based exclusion requires a demonstrated material effect on operating margins. Comparable companies with related-party transactions exceeding the applicable threshold cannot reliably serve as uncontrolled benchmarks without demonstrable adjustments. Under TNMM, no transfer pricing adjustment is warranted where the tested party&#039;s operating margin falls within the applicable arm&#039;s length range after the comparable set is finalised.</description>
