Bangladesh transfer pricing regulation targets international transactions between two associated entities, either or both of whom are non-residents. Transfer pricing regulation mostly affects multinational companies or foreign companies having direct or indirect transactions with their subsidiaries, associates or other legal form of entities (e.g. liaison office, branch office, agent, etc.) in Bangladesh.

The compliance requirements under transfer pricing regulations in Bangladesh include submission of TP return in a prescribed form, maintenance of transfer pricing documentation, and obtaining certificate from an Accountant in certain circumstances.  If a company fails to comply with the requirement and regulation of Transfer Pricing, a range of financial penalties will be applicable depending on the nature and extent of the non-compliance.
