An International Perspective
Since tax rates and import duties are different in different
countries, companies have incentives to set transfer prices that
will:
1. Increase revenues in low-tax countries.
2. Increase costs in high-tax countries.
3. Reduce cost of goods transferred to
high-import-duty countries.
