(NOT at transactional level) Step 3 is relevant to: STEP 5: determining the available sources of information on external comparables
-Identify tested party when such comparables are needed considering their relative reliability
STEP 3: accurate delineation of the actual transaction (analysis of MNE’s ownership structure + relation at transactional level)
(if necessary) STEP 6: selecting the most appropriate TP method, and (depending on the method
Application of 5 comparability factors
-Identify TP method determining the relevant financial indicator)
1. Contractual terms
-Identify - The OECD provides the following pricing methods:
- Analysis of the contractual relations is the starting point of a comparability analysis
comparability factors Traditional transaction method Transactional profit method

Comparable Uncontrolled Method Transactional Net Margin Method
- Consider ‘wider value creation by the MNE to which the parties belong, the circumstances surrounding the transaction, and industry practices’.

Step 2: identify contractual assumption of risks (i) Capability to make decision to assume, discontinue or decline a risk bearing length remuneration
Step 3: perform functional analysis in relation to risk opportunity together with the actual performance of that decision-making function
Step 4: interpret steps 1-3 (ii) capability to make decisions on whether and how to respond to the risk-bearing
Step 5: allocate risks opportunity together with the actual performance of that decision-making function
Step 6: price transaction, in light of the risk allocation
B. Financial capacity to assume such risk
- Ability to access funding options, liquidation, and ability to bear the costs
of mitigation of risks and to bear the consequence of risk materialisation
3. Characteristics of property or services
- Tangible property: physical features, quality, reliability/availability of volume and supply
- Services: nature and extent of such services
- Intangible property: type and form of property, duration and degree of protection and anticipated benefits from use of property
4. Economic circumstances
- Includes: (i) geographic location; (ii) size of market; (iii) competition; (iv) levels of supply; (v) consumer purchasing power; (vi) regulation ecc
5. Business strategies
Recognition of the accurately delineated transaction undertaken
After the above Step I, it must be determined whether independent enterprises under comparable economic circumstances would and could perform the accurately

Here, the key question is about the commercial rationality of the transaction (ie whether independent parties would have entered into a similar transaction)
