Holy moly doesn’t that sound more like tax evasion or fraudulent accounting than financial planning?

They’re trying to pay less tax by convincing your company to put a different price on products they buy based on their tax strategy.

It sounds illegal.

The majority of tax and other civil laws are basically full of things that are illegal/problematic if you do them individually, but if you can find someone else to cooperate with then it becomes fine.
