SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Understanding the Basics of International Tax Avoidance: Methods and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Multinational corporations face an unequal world in many ways\, including widely varying effective tax rates in different nations (although recent moves by the US\, EU and other nations have agreed to start reducing the disparities\, by imposing a minimum 15% corporate tax. Nevertheless\, the differences in tax rates may shrink\, but not disappear. \nThis webinar is designed to introduce academics and practitioners to the basic methods that have been used by multinationals to pay less tax in higher-tax jurisdictions\, by transferring declared taxable profits to lower-taxed countries. This is not a seminar for tax accountants but rather intended as an overview or introduction to a fundamentally important subject\, using simple examples that can be understood by instructors\, their students and also executives in multinational companies. Across the domain of international business\, the sums amount to trillions of dollars
