The Role of the Corporate Tax Summary

The Role of the Corporate Tax by Roger Gordon (University of California, San Diego)

Multinationals can even avoid these taxes by shifting income into tax havens. Given the ease with which multinationals can evade tax, the existing income tax structure faces major pressures, as reflected in average statutory corporate tax rates halving in recent decades. The Element speculates on alternative tax structures that will avoid these problems.
