We analyze the unilateral introduction of a destination-based corporate cash-flow tax system (DBT), as recently proposed by Auerbach and Devereux (AEJ Policy 2018). We show that, first, the DBT rate is decision-neutral only if the source-tax country makes the DBT payments deductible from its tax...

We estimate the revenue implications of a Destination Based Cash Flow Tax (DBCFT) for 80 countries. On a global average, DBCFT revenues under unchanged tax rates would remain similar to the existing corporate income tax (CIT) revenue, but with sizable redistribution of revenue across countries....

We document the existence of a size premium for independent manufacturing companies in Europe: larger companies tend to have higher Return on Total Costs. This impact has a large magnitude and is statistically significant. Following the OECD Guidelines, the impact of size should thus be taken...

This paper explores the implications of high indebtedness for strategic tax setting in internationally integrated capital markets. When public borrowing is constrained due to default, a rise in a country's initial debt level lowers investment in public infrastructure and makes tax setting more...

This work undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. state experience under formulary apportionment of corporate income. While formulary apportionment eliminates the possibility of shifting income across states through accounting strategies that manipulate where income is booked, it may...

11 European countries now operate IP Box regimes that provide substantially reduced rates of corporate tax for income derived from important forms of intellectual property. We incorporate these policies into forward-looking measures of the cost of capital, effective marginal tax rates and...

How do countries compete for mobile tax base when they lack precise information on how tax rates affect the tax base? We present a multi-period version of a classic tax competition model in which countries set source-based taxes under incomplete information on the tax base elasticity. This...
