Transfer pricing

The Korean transfer pricing regulations are based on the arm’s-length standard and are generally consistent with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines. The Korean transfer pricing regulations are contained in the Law for the Coordination of International Tax Affairs (LCITA), which was enacted on 1 January 1996. The LCITA stipulates that transfer prices should be consistent with the arm’s-length standard.
