- Maximizing economic value of the firm is more important than minimizing the firm’s worldwide tax burden.
- The tax principle of morality suggests that not complying with tax law because non-compliance is common in a nation is acceptable.
- The tax principle of neutrality is concerned with whether a tax motivates or incentivizes private economic behavior.
- Foreign tax neutrality exists when foreign and domestic firms with equivalent activity and income are subject to the same tax liability in that tax jurisdiction. Essentially, foreign and domestic firms receive identical treatment by tax authorities in the jurisdiction if their circumstances are identical.
- Domestic tax neutrality exists when income from foreign and domestic sources are subject to the same tax liability as if earned in a foreign tax jurisdiction. Essentially, foreign and domestic income receive similar treatment by tax authorities across nations.
- Tax collection is by either a worldwide or a territorial approach. The worldwide approach applies a nation’s rate to all income earned by a firm. The territorial approach applies a nation’s rate only to income earned by a firm within the nation’s borders.
- Transfer pricing allows a firm to recognize profits (and currency exposure) in nations with lower tax rates.
- Transfer pricing strategies should be sensitive to government limits on transfer pricing related to market prices, resale prices, and cost-plus calculations.
- Transfer pricing strategies are useful because they do not alter management incentives or complicate performance evaluation at subsidiaries.
- Nations never use tax policy to try to attract businesses from other nations.
