Transnational Governance Interactions: A Critical Review Of The Legal Literature, Stepan Wood

Taxation Of State Owned Enterprises: A Review Of Empirical Evidence From China, Wei Cui Jan 2015

All Faculty Publications

This chapter reviews empirical evidence from China that bears on the general theory of the income taxation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

The second is that SOE taxation is necessary to put state-owned and private firms on an equal competitive footing. The third view holds that the significance of SOE taxation lies in the fact that SOE managers, like managers of private firms, may be dividend averse; in the absence of other effective …

All Faculty Publications

China is regarded as the world’s leading practitioner of state capitalism in which important capitalist enterprises have a close relationship with the state. One prominent feature of China’s state capitalism is the fundamental role of about 100 large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) controlled by organs of the central government in critical industries such as oil, telecom, and transportation. These SOEs are often dubbed “China’s national champions.” They are not only important players in China’s domestic economy but also major contributors to China’s fast growing global investment. Their global expansion however often encounters political and regulatory challenges abroad, partly because their corporate …
