Chapter 9 in Accounting, Finance, and Taxation in the Gulf Countries, 2008, pp 173-215 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In many industrial countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, sales taxes, individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, and other types of direct and indirect taxes are considered as a part of the daily life. Potential investors, including American and British MNCs, need (1) to decide what types of investments and finance need to be done; (2) to choose the best country, state, or city for investments that will bring back the highest return on invested capital after tax with the lowest political and business risk; (3) to determine the most favorable country for particular investment to achieve corporate long-term objectives; and (4) to look at regional opportunities for cost savings and improvements in efficiency in their tax issues. Comparative tax rates and regulations of the United States and foreign countries are important input factors to help MNCs in making successful investing strategic decisions.
