Transfer Pricing for InnerSource – Done Right

Multinational enterprises (companies with entities in different countries) must be compliant with specific regulations whenever assets, services or intellectual property are transferred between their subsidiaries: The subsidiaries are required to act as if they were independent third parties (“Arm’s Length principle”) and reimburse one another with transfer prices.

What does that mean for cross-border InnerSource collaboration? For hundreds or thousands of fine-grained InnerSource contributions?

In this talk, we introduce the relevant regulations and discuss why transfer pricing is necessary in InnerSource to stay financially and fiscally compliant. With a fictional case study, we discuss how your InnerSource program can use so-called cost contribution agreements for its transfer pricing approach – emphasizing a pragmatic approach to minimize bureaucratic overhead and limit impediments to InnerSource collaboration.
