Background: The Devaluation in Brazil and Its Effects on Argentina
The recent devaluation of the Brazilian real has significantly affected Argentine exports, especially in the automotive industry. This change in the regional economy poses additional challenges for Argentine companies in calculating and complying with their Transfer Pricing policies, given that the exchange rate difference affects the price of products destined for the Brazilian market. In this context, companies must understand how to adjust their transfer prices to reduce tax risks and optimize their transactions.
Transfer Pricing Challenges in a Devaluation Context
The devaluation in Brazil makes Argentine products more expensive in the Brazilian market, which may affect the profits of exporting companies. Transfer Pricing is crucial in determining the tax burden for companies operating between subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil. Adjusting these prices appropriately helps companies to maintain their competitiveness in the Brazilian market and avoid penalties for undervaluation or overvaluation of products.
Transfer Pricing Adjustment Measures
Due to a sudden change in the exchange rate, companies should actively monitor their transfer prices and, if necessary, adjust them to align with market prices and comply with tax regulations. Such adjustments allow companies to correctly reflect their profits and avoid issues with the tax authorities in both countries. Conversely, adjustments must be carefully made according to local policies and the OECD’s international Transfer Pricing guidelines.
