The Tax Court of Canada has ruled that, while Marzen Artistic Aluminum provided sales and marketing staff to Starline International (SII) at an arm’s-length price, the documentation presented was insufficient. The ruling is significant because it is the first Canadian decision focusing on the structuring of transactions rather than the pricing.
Marzen contested a transfer pricing adjustment made by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with regards to fees paid by Marzen to SII in 2000 and 2001. SII is a Barbados-based corporation wholly owned by Marzen.
