Abstract: | This paper analyzes the impact of economic integration (hereafter as: int.) on tax policy in a model where corporate taxation is motivated by the desire to tax profits accruing to foreigners and the number of foreign owned firms (here as: f-o-fs.) is endogenous. It turns out that declining trade costs lead to increasing profit taxes if the government may use import tariffs. It is concluded that the existence of f-o-fs. may fail to prevent profit taxes from declining as economic int. proceeds. |
