How to Use a 'Cost-Plus' Model for Transfer Pricing

Before you use this playbook, note the evidence limit for this section: the grounding available here does not establish technical rules for cost-base construction, arm’s-length legal tests, comparables screening, defensible markup ranges, or jurisdiction-specific thresholds.
