Summary: Artificially reducing stock to lower Gross Profit is an incorrect accounting practice that violates valuation standards and will likely be flagged by a tax auditor. You should value stock based on actual cost or market value and be prepared to provide a logical, fact-based explanation for any year-over-year fluctuations in GP to avoid tax complications.
