Transfer Pricing
Assume that a multinational corporation (MNC) is (i)
shipping product from Brazil (Country B) to Australia (Country A),
and (ii) the tax rate in Country B < tax rate in country A, in
answering the following questions:
If MNC managers wish to minimize (taxes), how should
they go about setting the transfer price [Provide thumb-rules as
part of your answer]
The transfer prices are affected by the import duty of the country A ( Australia) . If australia charge a import duty on goods transferred by Brazil than they are able to set a low transferrd price on it. this will reduce the duty to be paid and maximize the profits.
