Corporate Taxation And International Charter Competition, Mitchell A. Kane, Edward B. Rock
Corporate Taxation And International Charter Competition, Mitchell A. Kane, Edward B. Rock
Michigan Law Review
Corporate charter competition has become an increasingly international phenomenon. The thesis of this Article is that this development in corporate law requires a greater focus on corporate tax law. We first demonstrate how a tax system's capacity to distort the international charter market depends both upon its approach to determining corporate location and upon the extent to which it taxes foreign source corporate profits.

We present instead two alternative methods for preserving an international charter market. The first-best solution involves …

The total number of investigations increased from 1996 to 2005, yet the proportion of respondent defaults rose as well. The increase in defaults suggests there is some systemic difficulty in ensuring full participation. This Note argues that the res judicata effects of …
