Uncertainties in corporate tax liability are extremely costly, both for individual corporations and from an economy-wide perspective.

Firms pay exorbitant fees to have tax attorneys, accountants and economists prepare the documentation required by tax authorities to substantiate their intercompany pricing practices and defend their tax positions on audit.
