In the latest episode of the podcast, Mike Burke, a partner at AGG and chair of their International Practice, engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Sean King, the president and founder of Align Global Consulting. As the podcast’s inaugural guest, King’s insights prove invaluable in navigating the complexities of the current economic landscape.
During their conversation, Burke and King focus on how companies can effectively manage the challenges posed by tariffs and transfer pricing. As trade policies continue to evolve, the duo explores the significant ripple effects these factors have across various sectors, including supply chains, intellectual property, and global tax structures.
One of the key themes of the episode is the idea of identifying opportunities amid uncertainty. Burke and King emphasize the importance of businesses reassessing their supply chains and customs valuation strategies to adapt to changing conditions. They also provoke thought on a contentious topic: whether the United States is gradually positioning itself as a ‘tax haven’ in light of shifting fiscal policies and global competition.
Through their discussion, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the strategic considerations that companies must take into account to thrive in a highly dynamic environment. The episode serves as a crucial resource for businesses looking to navigate the intricate maze of tariffs, taxation, and supply chain dynamics effectively.
