Benchmarking Analysis · Nashik, Maharashtra

Comparables That Actually Compare.

Comparable company searches, financial ratio analysis and arm's length range computation supporting the transfer pricing method adopted.

Book Free Consultation

A benchmarking analysis is only as strong as the comparables it relies on, and the search process, filters applied and financial adjustments made are where most disputes with the Transfer Pricing Officer originate.

At N D Savla & Associates, we conduct comparable company searches, apply qualitative and quantitative filters, and compute the arm's length range supporting the pricing method used for a related-party transaction.

Our benchmarking is documented with the search process and filters applied made transparent, so the analysis can be explained and defended if questioned during assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

A benchmarking analysis identifies comparable independent transactions or companies to determine the arm's length price or margin for a related-party transaction.
Benchmarking is relevant to most prescribed methods, including the comparable uncontrolled price, resale price, cost plus, transactional net margin and profit split methods, though the data used differs by method.
The arm's length range is the range of prices or margins derived from comparable transactions, within which the taxpayer's own price or margin is expected to fall.
Yes, the TPO can reject comparables and substitute its own set, though such rejections can be contested with functional and financial arguments during assessment or appeal.
The applicable rules generally require the use of current-year data where available, with multiple-year data permitted in defined circumstances such as for certain methods or when current data is not available at the time of the search.
A benchmarking analysis is generally expected to be updated annually, since comparable data, financial results and market conditions change from year to year.
