Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to survey the judicial interpretations of transfer pricing, as developed in the cases decided under §482. The chapter is divided into three major sections: first, an overview of the general legal principles underlying the judicial interpretation of §482; second, a chronological survey of the development of the case law under §482, with particular attention to the development of the arm's length standard and the search for comparables; third, an analytical survey of the techniques used by courts to decide transfer pricing cases, with particular emphasis on the techniques developed in recent cases to deal with transfer pricing in the absence of com parables.
