Right, the &quot;as long as it&#x27;s legal&quot; is the interesting part.  For instance, what if you have two entities, one of which is a &quot;for profit&quot; which pays full taxes, and then another that is somehow placed in a different preferential tax bracket.  By shifting&#x2F;transferring all of the costs to the higher tax bracket entity, and having it further reduce profits by charging low fees,  and moving all of the resulting &quot;profit&quot; that then accrues to the lower-taxed entity.<p>How, and when you can engage in such activity I&#x27;ll lead to tax attorneys, but it&#x27;s not a no-brainer &quot;You should always be able to charge lower fees and transfer profits away from one entity to another.&quot; There is some nuance.
