The transfer price refers to the price applied to an international transaction of raw materials, products, and services with overseas subsidiaries or affiliates. Global companies often adjust the transfer price to alleviate their tax burden, which is arising as an issue in the industrial sector. Upholding our principles of transparent and sincere tax payment, Pulmuone prohibits transfer pricing in favor of the company under any circumstance. We set the transfer price strictly in accordance with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations and local tax laws in each country. We therefore pay tax under the national tax law for our business profits. As of 2019, our overseas subsidiaries are located in the USA, China, and Japan. We comply with the tax laws, principles, and standards in each of these countries.
