Description

In 2008, 12% of all federal revenues came from corporate income taxes; about half was paid by multinational corpsorations reporting income from foreign countries. How the federal government taxes U.S. multinational corporations has consequences for the U.S. economy overall as well as for the federal budget. Tax polices influence businessesäó» choices about how and where to invest, particularly the profitability of locating in the U.S. or abroad. The tax laws also can create opportunities for tax avoidance by allowing multinational corporations to use accounting or other legal strategies to report income and expenses for their U.S. and foreign operations in ways that reduce their overall tax liability. U.S tax revenues decline when firms move investments abroad or when they strategically allocate income and expenses to avoid paying taxes here. This study examines options for changing the way the U.S. taxes multinational corporations or addressing particular concerns with the current system of taxation. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
