Yes, the intra-group services need to be at Arm’s length wherein the service provider should apply a markup to all costs that are not pass-through in nature. The taxable person must maintain supporting documentation which includes inter-alia the following:

- explanation of the intra-group services provided
- summary of the benefits received
- the approach adopted to determine and calculate the charges
- justification for the choice of allocation key(s) used
