Tiivistelmä: | Tax laws in the USA may put USA-owned foreign affiliates at a cash-flow disadvantage when compared to other industrialized nations such as Japan and West Germany. A number of tax provisions affecting foreign source income of USA multinationals owe their genesis to the Revenue Act of 1962. But the USA tax laws impose a tax burden on certain transactions that reduce the after-tax cash flow of USA multinationals relative to their foreign counterparts. This comparative disadvantage in taxing deeply effects export capacity and technical-technological development of USA multinationals. Such cash-flow differences will tend to even out over the long-run, real differences over short-run may act as an economic impediment out USA competitiveness. |
