This is done by reducing the selling price between companies in one group and

Pricing is often won by taxpayers in tax courts so that multinational companies are
increasingly motivated to make transfers.
According to (Soebyakto & Agustina, 2014), taxes have a role in which is very
important in the life of the state, especially in the implementation of development because
taxes are a source of income to finance all expenditure includes development expenditure.
Tax becomes significant contributor to the government, but for companies tax is a expenses
that can reduce company profits. Of course, a high tax burden can motivate companies to
practice transfer pricing.
Saraswati and (Soebyakto & Agustina, 2014) explain that transfer pricing is the
determination of prices for transactions for products, services, financial transactions, or
intangible assets between related companies. Transfer pricing is classified into two, namely
transfer pricing between divisions that are still in the same company and the determination of
transfer prices for transactions between companies that have a special relationship. (Gao &
Zhao, 2015) Determination method transfer prices for transactions between divisions that are
still present within the same company is called intra-company transfer pricing. While the
method of determining the transfer price between companies that have special relationship is
called inter-company transfer pricing. Inter-company transfer pricing itself can be classified
as domestic transfer pricing and international transfer pricing. The difference between the
two is domestic Transfer pricing is carried out between companies located in the same
country while international transfer pricing is carried out between companies that domiciled
in a different country. In the environment multinational companies will arise special
relationship transactions where transactions between members of the company or within a
group (intra-group) transactions). This can give rise to indications of the practice of transfer
pricing for tax avoidance, because it is carried out with third parties special, the determination
of the selling price may occur unreasonably because market forces do not apply as is (Anglin,
Rutherford, & Springer, 2003).
Several studies have been conducted to examine the effect of taxes on transfer pricing.
Research conducted by (Kiswanto, 2014), (Tiwa, Saerang, & Tirayoh, 2017), and Saraswati
and (Saerang, Poputra, & Tirayoh, 2017) shows that taxes have a significant positive effect
on transfer pricing. Meanwhile, research conducted by (Refgia, Ratnawati, & Rusli, 2017),
(Rosa, Andini, & Raharjo, 2017) shows that taxes have a significant negative effect on
transfer pricing. Meanwhile, research conducted by (Pratiwi, 2018) shows that taxes have an
insignificant effect on transfer pricing.
State that the tax variable positive effect on the indication of transfer pricing, where
transactions This is done with related entities located in other countries for the purpose of to
reduce the amount of tax paid by an entity. Entity perform related transactions by transferring
wealth to the entity others who are abroad to reduce profits so that they can reduce corporate
group tax burden. This is in line with the results of research conducted by (Tiwa et al., 2017),
(Tiwa et al., 2017) which states that taxes have a significant positive effect on the
implementation of transfer pricing. This indicates that the amount of tax burden that must be
paid by the company becomes a benchmark for company management to implement transfer
pricing as an effort to reduce the number of taxes that must be paid in order to maximize the
profits to be received by the company.
