The United States introduced the transfer pricing system in 1917, but it was not until 1935 that rules were formulated to set the principle of normal transactions as the basic principle of the transfer pricing system. The OECD model tax treaty of 1977 adopted the principle of normal transactions in Article 7 "Operating Profits" and Article 9 "Affiliated Enterprises". So far, the principle of normal transactions has been accepted by all OECD member countries and almost all other industrial developed countries and most developing countries. Regarding the concept of the principle of normal transactions, countries or related organizations have not given a definitive statement.
