Abstract: This study was prompted by the EU Commission's end-2001 suggestions for corporate tax reform. The authors investigate how cross-border loss offset and formulary apportionment of a consolidated tax base affect a multi-jurisdictional firm's value and investment behavior, as well as the behavior of governments potentially engaged in tax competition. The paper shows that cross-border loss offset increases the value of the firm, can mitigate its reactions to tax changes, and can reduce tax competition between governments. Introducing cross-border loss offset arguably improves the tax system, even without resorting to formulary apportionment of a consolidated tax base.
