Abstract
In international context, corporate taxes represent one of the major limiting factors of
the international capital flows. High corporate tax rates might distort the investment decision
on the international projects, and as a consequence, limit the international efficiency level.
The corporate tax system can affect the company’s behavior in a number of ways: it might
influence the choice of the sources of finance in favor of debt or retained earnings; high tax
rates can trigger tax planning activities to shift taxable income from affiliates in high tax
countries to affiliates in low tax countries; next, corporate tax can seriously affect market
dynamics on mergers and acquisitions as well as the legal organizational form chosen by the
firm; and it can also promote tax evasion as well as reduce the capital mobility, etc.
In order to eliminate these negative effects, national countries might implement
different tax measures, and therefore improve their corporate income tax efficiency level.
These international tax efficiency considerations are part of the contemporary corporate
income tax reform and they include some certain measures with great potential for this
purpose such as: lower statutory tax rates, integration of corporate income and personal
income taxation, introduction of the alternative corporate tax systems (the “Cash flow
corporate tax system” and the “Сomprehensive business income tax system– CBIT”),
implementation of the thin capitalization rules as well as the transfer pricing rules, etc.
The article’s objective is to present the latest trends of the contemporary tax reform
from an international corporate tax efficiency aspect. More precisely, the intention is to
introduce the measures that might effectively decrease the possibilities for corporate income
tax distortion in international context. Generally, the basic methodology is consisted of the
analytical, comparative and the narrative method. For the purpose of better illustration on the
conclusions, diagrams and scenario analysis will be used adequately.
