TTM13300 - Partnerships: The ring fence
Transfer-pricing
The transfer pricing provisions described in TTM07300will apply to certain transactions between a partnership and its partners, if that partnership includes both a tonnage tax partner and a non-tonnage tax partner.
Transactions with tonnage tax partner
The transfer pricing rules will apply to transactions between a tonnage tax company and a partnership if:
- that tonnage tax company is a ‘major participator’ in the partnership, and
- the partnership also includes a non-tonnage tax partner who is also a ‘major participator’.
Transactions with non-tonnage tax partner
The transfer pricing provisions will also apply to transactions between a non-tonnage tax company and a partnership if
- that non-tonnage tax company is a ‘major participator’ in the partnership, and
- the partnership includes a tonnage tax partner who is also a ‘major participator’.
Major participator
The definition of ‘major participator’ is in TIOPA10/S160 (3)-(5). Broadly, the effect of this is that two partners will be major participators in a partnership if they each have at least a 40 per cent interest.
