This paper explores the effect of determinants shaping the landscape of transfer pricing practices within intra-group transactions among publicly traded companies in Romania over the period 2022. The research hypothesis focuses on identifying the variables that have a significant impact on transfer pricing in the Romanian business environment. Data collection was conducted manually from various sources, including explanatory notes from annual reports and databases such as Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg. The results reveal that the size of companies, sales, capitalization, foreign ownership, sales growth, and operational profit collectively contribute to the influence on transfer pricing practices. However, individual analysis shows that only sales significantly affect the transfer pricing practice.
