Top 10 Transfer Pricing Tips for Headquarters (HQs) |
Multinational corporations centralise their activities in regional offices to tap into economies of scale and facilitate the efficient running of conglomerates. Unfortunately, it is these efficiencies of amalgamations and re-charges that have received the attention of tax authorities across the world.
With the recent publication of Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS)’s guidance, it is time to dissect through what has been
said and understand the business implications for headquarters in Singapore, from the fundamentals to the complexities. Be in top form and
join in the discussion on the implications to the core business processes of businesses and what it takes to get TP and TP documentation
right.
What we cover
Against the challenging international backdrop, the TP environment is no doubt tougher than ever and will only get more intense going forward. It is therefore crucial for MNE groups and Singapore HQs to actively manage their growing TP risks by reviewing their existing TP processes and practices, as well as evaluating the adequacy of their TP documentation.

Starting May 2026, in-scope multinational enterprise (MNE) groups must register for Singapore’s Multinational Enterprise Top-up Tax (MTT), Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT), and the GloBE Information Return (GIR) under the Multinational Enterprise (Minimum Tax) Act 2024.
For the year 2026, IRAS has updated its indicative margin, reaffirming its support for simplified, arm’s length transfer pricing practices.
Singapore taxpayers entering into financial arrangements with related parties must ensure compliance with the arm’s length principle. This includes transactions such as cash pooling, hedging, financial guarantees, captive insurance, and related party loans.
