The $4 Billion Question: An Analysis Of Congressional Responses To The Fsc/Eti Dispute Under Wto Export Subsidy Standards, William Chou
The $4 Billion Question: An Analysis Of Congressional Responses To The Fsc/Eti Dispute Under Wto Export Subsidy Standards, William Chou
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
During the decade-long relationship between the United States and the World Trade Organization (WTO), perhaps no controversy has fomented as long and bitterly as the dispute over the U.S. tax benefits for exporters. This article analyzes two competing bills before the House of Representatives, both devised to bring the United States in compliance with the WTO's ruling against the U.S. Foreign Sale Corporation (FSC) and Exterritorial Income (ETI) tax regimes as prohibited export subsidies. Hit with a $4 billion retaliatory tariff by the European Union, the House sought new tax legislation that would preserve at least some of the tax …

The Proposed E.U. Vat On Electronically Transmitted Services: Enforcement And Compliance Issues, Thomas Fawkes
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This paper will begin by discussing the current VAT system in the E.U. It will also describe in detail the provisions of the proposed VAT amendments as they affect electronic commerce transactions with respect to both B2B and B2C transactions. Next, the practical effects of the VAT amendments in terms of increased VAT revenue for the E.U. and its mem-ber states will be discussed. Following will be a discussion on the past and present failures of the E.U. and its Member States in encouraging and en-forcing compliance under the current VAT Directive, and the implication of such failures on the …
In Search Of Effective Policies For Foreign Direct Investment: Alternatives To Tax Incentive Policies, Kojo Yelpaala
In Search Of Effective Policies For Foreign Direct Investment: Alternatives To Tax Incentive Policies, Kojo Yelpaala
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
It is now largely recognized that the multinational enterprise ("MNE") can play a significant role in the industrialization of a number of different countries. The major way in which the MNE can contribute toward the industrialization of a country is through foreign direct investment ("FDI"). To induce such MNE investment, several host countries have relied significantly on fiscal incentives in general and tax incentives in particular for over half a century. However, after several decades, the effects of these tax incentives on the motivation of MNEs to invest in incentive granting countries continues to be the focus of a heated …
Is The Connection Effective? Through The Maze Of Section 864, Alan B. Stevenson
Is The Connection Effective? Through The Maze Of Section 864, Alan B. Stevenson
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article discusses certain of the rules under which foreign corporations and nonresident alien individuals may be subjected to United States federal income tax. It may at first be surprising that there are any situations in which the United States would attempt to tax the income of a nonresident alien or a foreign corporation. A moment's reflection, however, will reveal that in some situations it is quite logical that the United States should tax at least a portion of the income of such persons. For example, it seems reasonable that a corporation which conducts some minimum level of business in …
Zenith Radio Corp V. United States: The Demise Of Congressionally Mandated Countervailing Duties, Robert Dziubla
Zenith Radio Corp V. United States: The Demise Of Congressionally Mandated Countervailing Duties, Robert Dziubla
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The countervailing duty has long been a favorite tool of the Congress to achieve what it considers to be fair trade between the United States and her trading partners. Countervailing duties are extra duties imposed upon goods that enjoy subsidies, in whatever form, from a foreign government. In Zenith Radio Corp. v. United States, the Supreme Court agreed with the Department of Treasury that a remission by the Government of Japan of a domestic indirect commodity tax upon electronic goods was not a subsidy requiring a countervailing duty. This Note will suggest that the Court's dependence upon the legislative history …
