The 40th parallel runs across the middle of the United States. U.S. Cities north of the 40th parallel include Northbrook Illinois, Newtown Connecticut, Peabody Massachusetts, Courtland New York and a few other headquarter cities of test laboratories on OSHA's NRTL list. A quick check shows that MET Labs in Blaltimore (at 39 degrees north) is just about the only NRTL with headquarters south of the 40th parallel.

I suspect that this practice will become very common, as governments try to prevent tax avoidance. It is currently common practice to invoice everything from a subsidiary in a low-tax country and balance the P/Ls of the other subsidiaries by internal accounting means that do not attract tax. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
