Document background
The Intercompany Shared Services Agreement is essential for corporate groups operating in Canada who wish to establish efficient and compliant shared service arrangements between related entities. This document is typically used when companies within the same group want to centralize certain functions (such as IT, HR, accounting, or administrative services) to optimize resources and achieve operational efficiencies. The agreement must comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, particularly regarding transfer pricing, corporate governance, and privacy laws. It provides detailed frameworks for service delivery, performance measurement, cost allocation, and governance structures, while ensuring appropriate risk allocation between the parties. This document type is particularly important for multinational corporations with Canadian operations and domestic corporate groups implementing shared services models.
