How Countries Should Share Tax Information, Arthur J. Cockfield
How Countries Should Share Tax Information, Arthur J. Cockfield
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Offshore tax evasion, international money laundering, and aggressive international tax planning significantly reduce government revenues. In particular, for some low-income countries the amount of capital flight (where elites move and hide monies offshore in tax havens) exceeds foreign aid. Governments struggle to enforce their tax laws to constrain these actions, and they are inhibited by a lack of information concerning international capital flows. The main international policy response to these developments has been to promote global financial transparency through heightened cross-border exchanges of tax information. The Article examines elements of optimal cross-border tax information exchange laws and policies by focusing …
If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them: The U.S. Solution To The Issue Of Corporate Inversions, Scott Deangelis
If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them: The U.S. Solution To The Issue Of Corporate Inversions, Scott Deangelis
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
There is an old proverb, "If you can't beat them, join them, "that suggests that those who cannot win against some group should stop fighting and instead band together with them. It seems clear that when it comes to corporate inversions, the United States cannot win. Instead, countries overseas have taken advantage of tax break schemes to lure multinational companies away from the United States. This Note suggests that to prevent further foreign inversions, the United States should join these foreign countries in two ways. First, the United States should put its support behind the OECD's plan of a multilateral …
The United States Policy Of Stringent Anti-Treaty-Shopping Provisions: A Comparative Analysis, Simone M. Haug
The United States Policy Of Stringent Anti-Treaty-Shopping Provisions: A Comparative Analysis, Simone M. Haug
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Tax avoidance through international treaty shopping has become a subject of intense controversy in the international community. By shrewdly structuring businesses, corporations are currently able to take advantage of tax exemptions contained in tax treaties, though the countries that have joined the treaties never intended for them to benefit from such provisions. Many nations, including the United States, view this practice as tax treaty abuse. In response to such abuses, many countries are now incorporating strict anti-treaty-shopping provisions in their bilateral tax treaties.
Ms. Haug begins the Article by describing the practice of treaty shopping and, specifically, the various methods …

Tax Havens, Charles R. Irish
Tax Havens, Charles R. Irish
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Opinions about tax havens cover a wide spectrum. Some suggest tax havens present an unacceptable face of capitalism and inflict considerable damage on the economies of nonhaven countries. Others argue that havens offer relief from oppressive taxes and other regulations which inhibit the free and efficient flow of capital; and still others hold the view that tax haven status may act as a catalyst for economic development. Obviously, the opinions vary according to whether a person is a tax collector in a non-haven country, a taxpayer engaged in international business activities, or a government policymaker in a haven country.

Domestic International Sales Corporations (Discs): How They Provide A Tax Incentive For Exports, Garrison R. Cox
Domestic International Sales Corporations (Discs): How They Provide A Tax Incentive For Exports, Garrison R. Cox
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note examines the logical and empirical validity of the reasons for the passage of the DISC legislation. Basically, the DISC legislation was prompted by the negative trade balance in 1971, a novel phenomenon in post-World War II United States. Providing a tax break on producers' export income was viewed as a way of reducing trade deficits by stimulating exports. On its surface, using "tax expenditures" to reach this goal seems logical, or at least benign. But when one considers that the primary thrust of the legislation was to encourage small producers to enter the export market, the logic of …

Recent Developments, Craig G. Christensen
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The debacle of the Nationalist regime in China and the subsequent United States trade embargo on the People's Republic of China (China) from 1949 to 1970, resulted in the deletion or obsolescence of United States federal income tax incentives previously applicable to Sino-American trade. The benefits of these tax provisions were transferred, with the Nationalist government, to the Taiwan-based Republic of China (Taiwan). Moreover, foreign trade tax measures enacted during the economic stalemate were largely inapplicable to China, but enhanced existing trade with Taiwan and Hong Kong. Initial United States responses to the current detente with China portend increasingly significant …
