<strong>used by multinational companies (MNCs)<\/strong> and their subsidiaries or sister companies <strong>to allocate income and expenses. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Effective but legal transfer pricing<strong> takes advantage of different tax regimes <\/strong>in different countries by <strong>raising transfer prices for goods <\/strong>and services <strong>produced in countries with lower

internationally.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>benefits <\/strong>of transfer pricing are<strong> tax savings, profit allocation among subsidiaries<\/strong>, and <strong>enhanced financial efficiency.
