“Don't allow us to estimate”
Solomon Musoke of @URAuganda stressed that proper documentation is essential in transfer pricing.
Without contracts and supporting evidence, businesses risk tax adjustments and disallowed deductions.

Management fees, royalties and intra-group services can attract transfer pricing scrutiny.
Musoke highlighted the need to examine whether services were actually provided and whether related-party payments reflect the real value of the transaction.
#EYTaxRetreatUg
Accessing tax treaty benefits requires more than setting up a company abroad.
Musoke highlighted the importance of tax residence, beneficial ownership and economic substance when assessing claims for treaty relief.
#EYTaxRetreatUg
Where does income get taxed?
Prosper Ahabwe explained how residence and source rules shape international taxation.
A taxpayer may face claims from multiple jurisdictions, making it essential to understand where they are resident and where their income arises.
#EYTaxRetreatUg
Transfer-pricing documentation should support the arm’s-length principle with relevant, timely data. Outdated benchmarks may not reflect current transactions.
Regular reviews help businesses identify risks before they become costly disputes.
#EYTaxRetreatUg
Would an independent business pay for the service? Is it duplicated? Who creates and maintains the value behind a royalty?
Ahabwe urged businesses to scrutinise related-party charges rather than simply accept group instructions.
#EYTaxRetreatUg
Accessing tax treaty benefits requires more than paperwork.
Businesses must consider beneficial ownership, decision-making, people, resources and the actual activities undertaken.
The key question, does the entity genuinely control and enjoy the income?
