Currently, the market price for one piano is USD 5,000. However, Z does control all transactions between X and Y. X is taxed in Malaysia and Y is taxed in Hong Kong. The corporate tax rate in Hong Kong is 16.5%. In Malaysia, it is 25%. The direct / indirect costs of manufacturing one piano are USD 1,000. Consider two scenarios.
