Re: Everyone does it

It's nothing to do with profit/turnover. It's the use of mysterious costs that must be paid by the in-county subsidiary to the international parent as a way of minimising the subsidiary's taxable profits.

Sometimes its a "IP license fee". Sometimes its a brand licence charge. But always it's off the bottom line, hiding profit.

Once again, the Indian Government shows us soft lot how it should be done!
