Investopedia explains 'Incestuous Dealing '

Incestuous dealing may also be a legitimate practice, if the dealing of securities is done in a way in which the tax benefits are created as a function of genuine practices, rather than for the sole intent of creating a taxable benefit through opportune trading. Although not uncommon, tax officials are always watching for situations of incestuous dealings between firms.
