OECD
The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and
Tax Administrations set out the consensus on how the arm's length test
should be applied. They are broadly accepted by all OECD member
countries, and many others.
The OECD Commentary on the Model Tax Convention sets out the equivalent
consensus on the application of double tax treaties.
Both documents are the foundations for any transfer pricing work, and
can be bought here
and here,
respectively.

This has many
documents for download, including the discussion draft regarding the
proposed changes to the calculation of the profits of a branch (PE).

The 'small print'
The
comments on this page and elsewhere on this website are of a
general nature. It is not practicable in a general review such as
this
to consider every convolution of the UK transfer pricing rules or of
any other tax law that may be relevant. Moreover, these pages
naturally do not take into account the specific facts relating to any
particular taxpayer. Therefore, although the guidance in this
website
should give a good indication of the likely position under the transfer
pricing rules, taxpayers should obtain professional advice to verify
the position, or carry out their own analysis.
