Sales Factor Tax Apportionment is Better than G-7 Proposal

For many years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has been coordinating talks among 140 countries on cross-border tax reform in order to get multi-national corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. Currently, multinational corporations that have subsidiaries or divisions in other countries use legal accounting strategies to reduce their taxes by transferring profits to lower corporate tax rate countries or set up shell corporations in tax haven countries. It’s not fair for multinational firms to sell products in the U.S. market and then pay little or no federal taxes on the resulting profits. Domestic companies bear the brunt of our country’s tax burden, making it more difficult for them to compete in the global marketplace.
