Tóm tắt

Bài báo này phân tích tác động của chính sách thuế đối với các lựa chọn chiến lược của các tập đoàn đa quốc gia và phúc lợi quốc gia. Ngược lại với lý thuyết hiện có, trong trường hợp không có thuế nước ngoài, việc hoãn đánh thuế tại nước nhà cho đến khi lợi nhuận từ đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài (FDI) được repatriate lại thường tốt hơn so với việc đưa những lợi nhuận đó vào thu nhập hiện tại. Điều này vẫn đúng ngay cả khi nước nhà đánh thuế đầu tư trong nước ít hào phóng hơn. Điều này cũng thường tốt hơn so với việc miễn thuế cho thu nhập nước ngoài. Thuế nước ngoài cho phép các chính phủ nước ngoài chiếm hữu một phần lợi tức kinh tế trước thuế từ đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài của nước nhà; điều này làm giảm lợi ích mà nước nhà thu được từ việc đánh thuế hào phóng hơn đối với đầu tư trực tiếp ra nước ngoài.
