There is a fundamental limitation in aligning transfer pricing for corporate tax purposes and transfer pricing for customs duty purposes as they differ from each other in terms of applicable laws and their legislative purposes. This divergence is becoming more pronounced as the Korea Customs Service has recently started to consider BEPS reports of multinational companies submitted to the National Tax Service in imposing custom duties.
Under these circumstances, multinational companies need to develop and implement transfer pricing policies to minimize risks for both corporate tax and customs duties purposes. Yoon & Yang’s Customs and International Trade Practice offers optimal services in all aspects of transfer pricing and strategies.
