Normative Framework Article 34-A of the CFF Power of the tax authority to solve transfer pricing inquiries relative to the methodology used in determining the prices or amounts of considerations in transactions held with related parties. The taxpayer is conditioned to submit all the necessary information and documentation. The resolutions may originate from an agreement between competent authorities with whom there is a Treaty for avoiding double taxation. The validity and term of duration of the resolutions may be conditioned to compliance with requisites that prove that the transactions that are the purpose of the resolution are carried out prices or amounts of considerations that would have been used by independent parties in comparable transactions. 4

Normative Framework Article 179 of the LISR Obligations and Requisites: Taxpayers are obliged to determine their cumulative revenues and authorized deductions at market value. Otherwise, the Tax Authority may determine the cumulative revenues and authorized deductions as independent third parties would do in comparable transactions. Transactions or businesses are comparable when there are no differences between them which may significantly affect the price or amount of the consideration or the profit margin referred to in the methods established in article 180 of the LISR. 5

In the case of partnerships, its members are considered as related parties, as well as the persons which according to this paragraph consider themselves related parties to said member.” For the interpretation of the rules referred to in this article, the OECD’s T.P. Guides will also be applicable if they are consistent with the local Law and Fiscal Treaties. 7
