About This Event

Many countries have restructured their corporate income taxes in recent years, mainly through reductions in tax rates. These international changes have put pressure on the United States to reform its corporate tax, little changed since 1986. Should the United States follow these overseas trends? At this seminar, eminent economists and tax experts will examine the impact of the current U.S. corporate income tax on corporate behavior and on national economic prosperity.

This event is cosponsored by the Forum for Analysis of Corporate Taxation.
