Transfer price refers to the price charged by individual entities of a multi-entity corporation on transactions among themselves. It is also termed transfer cost and is predominantly used where each entity is managed as a profit center and must deal with other internal parts of the corporation on an arm's length basis.
Transfer pricing involves setting prices for transactions between affiliated entities under common ownership, often used to allocate revenue and expenses among those entities to benefit from tax advantages.
