Santos Shipping Lines (SSL) operates a fleet of container ships in international trade between Brazil and Ireland. All of the shipping income (that is, that related to SSL's ships) is deemed to be earned in Brazil. SSL also owns a dock facility in Ireland that services SSL's fleet. Income from the dock facility is deemed to be earned in Ireland. SSL's income deemed attributable to Brazil is taxed at a 34 percent rate. Its income attributable to Ireland is taxed at a 12.5 percent rate. Last year, the dock facility had operating revenues of $15 million, excluding services performed for SSL's ships. SSL's shipping revenues for last year were $70 million. Operating costs of the dock facility totaled $19 million last year and operating costs for the shipping operation, before deduction of dock facility costs, totaled $45 million. No similar dock facilities in Ireland are available to SSL. However, a facility in the United Kingdom (UK) would have charged SSL an estimated $14 million for the services that SSL's Ireland dock provided to its ships. SSL management noted that had the services been provided in Brazil, the costs for the year would have totaled $20 million. SSL argued to the Brazilian tax officials that the appropriate transfer price is the price that would have been charged in Brazil. Brazilian tax officials determined that the UK price is the appropriate one. Required: 1.
