The Central Government sets an arm's length price tolerance range for assessment year 2019-2020. The range is one per cent for wholesale trading and three per cent in all other cases. This applies when the variation between the arm's length price and the actual transaction price does not exceed these percentages. The actual transaction price is then deemed to be the arm's length price. Wholesale trading requires the purchase cost of finished goods to be eighty per cent or more of the total cost. The average monthly closing inventory must also be ten per cent or less of sales.
