Managerial decisions are considerably influenced by taxes: e.g. the choice of location, buying or leasing decisions, or the proper mix of debt and equity in the company's capital structure increasingly demand qualified employees in an economic environment that is becoming more and more complex. Due to the worldwide economic integration and constant changes in tax legislation, companies are faced with new challenges – and the need for information and advice is growing accordingly. This book's goal is to identify and quantify possible tax effects on companies' investment strategies and financing policies. It does not focus on details of tax law, but instead seeks to address students and practitioners focusing on corporate finance, accounting, investment banking and strategy consulting.

This book analyzes the economic principles of modern corporate taxation. It is novel in two respects. First of all, it analyzes not only the effects of taxation on firms' marginal choices, but also focuses on the impact of taxation on discrete choices, such as plant location, R and D investment, and new marketing programs. The second novelty is represented by the application of option pricing techniques to corporate taxation.

Excerpt from Report of the Department of the Treasury on Integration of the Individual and Corporate Tax Systems: Taxing Business Income Once The so - called classical system of current u.s. Tax law treats corporations and their investors as separate entities and levies tax at both the corporate and shareholder levels on earnings from investments in corporate equity. Corporate earnings distributed to lenders as interest are generally deductible by the corporation and taxed, if at all, to the lender. Investors who conduct business activity in noncorporate form, such as a sole proprietorship or partnership, are taxed once on their earnings at the owners' tax rate. As a result, despite the critical role played by corporations as a vehicle for economic growth, the United States tax law often perversely penalizes the corporate form of organization. The current system of taxation also distorts corporate financial decisions - in particular by encouraging debt and discouraging new equity financing of corporate investments. The tax system also prejudices corporate decisions about whether to retain earnings or pay dividends and encourages corporations to distribute earnings in a manner to avoid the double level tax. Integration of the individual and corporate tax system would tax corporate income once and reduce or eliminate these economic distortions. Most trading partners of the United States have integrated their corporate tax systems. The potential economic gains from integration are substantial. This Report examines in detail several different integration prototypes, although it does not attempt an exhaustive discussion of all possible integration systems or of all the technical issues raised by the alternative prototypes. This Report does not contain legislative recommendations. Rather, it is intended to stimulate discussion of the various prototypes and issues they raise. By advancing the opportunity for such debate, this Report should encourage serious consideration of proposals for integrating the individual and corporate tax systems in the United States.

This paper examines the intertemporal effect of corporate income taxation on the investment behavior of a firm that faces imperfect capital markets. It shows that when capital markets are imperfect, the optimizing firm goes through different phases of growth. In this dynamic setting, the effect of a corporate tax on profits varies over time. An increase in the corporate profit tax rate initially reduces investment, but the effect is reversed over time as the firm adjusts its financing policy to the new tax rate.

The boom in corporate restructuring, accompanied by large increases in debt finance, was one of the most important developments in the U.S. economy in the 1980s. Financial and tax specialists analyze how the U.S. tax system-especially in its bias toward debt financing-has affected corporate financial decisions and influenced the recent wave of corporate restructuring. The authors evaluate the hypothesis that the rise in the cost of capital during the 1980s helped stimulate the surge in corporate takeovers. They analyze the effect that changes in tax laws and in the volume of government debt have had on corporate financial decisions. The authors examine how recent financial innovations have blurred the distinction between debt and equity finance.

This book presents research on how taxes affect the investment and financing decisions of multinationals. The contributors examine the effects of taxation on decisions about international financial management, business investment, and international income shifting. They consider the influence of tax rules on dividend policy decisions within multinationals; the extent to which tax incentives affect the level and location of research and development across countries; and the fact that foreign-controlled companies operating in the United States pay lower taxes than do domestically controlled companies.

The tax rules of the United States and other countries have intended and unintended effects on the operations of multinational corporations, influencing everything from the formation and allocation of capital to competitive strategies. The growing importance of international business has led economists to reconsider whether current systems of taxing international income are viable in a world of significant capital market integration and global commercial competition. In an attempt to quantify the effect of tax policy on international investment choices, this volume presents in-depth analyses of the interaction of international tax rules and the investment decisions of multinational enterprises. Ten papers assess the role played by multinational firms and their investment in the U.S. economy and the design of international tax rules for multinational investment; analyze channels through which international tax rules affect the costs of international business activities; and examine ways in which international tax rules affect financing decisions of multinational firms. As a group, the papers demonstrate that international tax rules have significant effects on firms' investment and other financing decisions.
