If it is a manufacturing operation with sales of 8BN then their gross profit (i.e. sales minus factory transfer price) is probably of the order of 4BN. The other 4BN is a contribution towards their fixed costs which, with a good accountant, will be 4BN also. To do anything else is just wasting money on corporation tax and dividends to shareholders
