Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate inversion, the process of redomiciling for tax purposes, reduces corporate income taxes, but it imposes a personal tax cost that is shareholder-specific. We develop a model, incorporating the corporate tax benefits and personal tax costs, to quantify the return to inversion for different shareholders. Foreign and tax-exempt investors, along with the chief executive officer, disproportionately benefit. We show that an inversion simultaneously reduces the wealth of many taxable shareholders. The model illustrates an agency conflict in which heterogeneity in personal taxes generates a wealth transfer between shareholders. Furthermore, personal taxes offset the loss in government revenue by 39%.

Book Synopsis How U.S. Corporate Inversions Impact Shareholder Value by : MaryKate MacDonald
Download or read book How U.S. Corporate Inversions Impact Shareholder Value written by MaryKate MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines how U.S. corporate tax inversion announcements impact shareholder value. A corporate tax inversion is where a corporation moves its location of residency to a new jurisdiction with a lower tax rate than that of its original location of incorporation. Corporate operations are usually continued in the location with the higher federal effective tax rate. Since the first U.S. inversion in 1983, there have been more than 75 inversions (Marples & Gravelle, 2016). There has been growing division over the issue of whether or not inversions are acceptable as a result of the U.S. tax base deteriorating. Many politicians have been searching for ways to control the number of inversions through legislation. As a result, inversion trends have been changing due to governmental regulation, international business, and public opinion. For this analysis, data is collected on 49 corporate inversions that occur from 1983 to 2016. Event studies are conducted on individual trends to determine what types of inversions create the most value. Results indicate that pharmaceutical corporations completing merger and acquisition (M&A) inversions in Ireland after 2007 are valued the most by shareholders.
Book Synopsis Targeting Corporate Inversions - Are We Doing the Right Thing? by : Doron Narotzki
Download or read book Targeting Corporate Inversions - Are We Doing the Right Thing? written by Doron Narotzki and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades now, corporate inversions have been the topic of an ongoing debate between legislators, practitioners, and academics. Since the first inversion in 1982, while often arguing on the right methods, policy, and ways, Congress, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), and countless legislators and political affiliates have advocated against this type of transaction. However, almost thirty-five years later, there seems to have been little to no progress in hindering corporations from partaking in the infamous transaction; the number of inversions has grown nearly 150% since the first transaction. Every piece of legislation enacted concerning this behavior is met with a counter transaction that finds its way around the new law. As of 2015, over sixty companies have changed their places of incorporation to a jurisdiction outside of the United States. It remains to be seen if a way to stop transactions that give way to tax inversions truly exists, as the solution must not interfere with other economic and policy issues. Therefore, the question becomes whether or not attempting to inhibit such transactions should be pursued, and, if continued, what is the next step in regulating them?
Book Synopsis U.s. Corporate Inversions and Analysis of Earnings Stripping by : Alayna Auerbach
Download or read book U.s. Corporate Inversions and Analysis of Earnings Stripping written by Alayna Auerbach and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the current U.S. corporate inversion environment, accompanied by the history of U.S. corporate inversions to date. A corporate inversion occurs when a U.S.-incorporated firm merges or acquires a foreign-incorporated firm and a new foreign parent is created. The new foreign parent owns both the former U.S.-incorporated and foreign-incorporated firms as subsidiaries. Upon inverting, the former U.S.-incorporated firm gives reasons such as a lower effective tax rate because the firm can avoid U.S. tax on foreign earnings. This study explores the current environment by creating a comprehensive list of inversions completed between 2005 and the end of 2015 and analyzing the effective tax rate changes pre- and post-inversion of forty-five companies that completed inversions between 2005 and 2013. The effective tax rates of these companies are lower post-inversion. This study also examines the evidence of "earnings stripping," a tax strategy used by inverted U.S. firms to avoid U.S. tax on U.S. earnings by issuing intercompany debt to shift earnings abroad. This strategy is not acknowledged publicly by inverting firms. A case study of the company Eaton Corporation plc finds evidence of the use of intercompany debt and increased in net income from earnings stripping.

Book Synopsis Corporate Expatriation, Inversions, and Mergers by : Congressional Research Service
Download or read book Corporate Expatriation, Inversions, and Mergers written by Congressional Research Service and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News reports in the late 1990s and early 2000s drew attention to a phenomenon sometimes called corporate "inversions" or "expatriations" instances where U.S. firms reorganize their structure so that the "parent" element of the group is a foreign corporation rather than a corporation chartered in the United States. The main objective of these transactions was tax savings, and they involved little to no shift in actual economic activity. Bermuda and the Cayman Islands (countries with no corporate income tax) were the location of many of the newly created parent corporations. These types of inversions largely ended with the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (JOBS Act, P.L. 108-357), which denied the tax benefits of an inversion if the original U.S. stockholders owned 80% or more of the new firm. The act effectively ended shifts to tax havens where no real business activity took place. However, two avenues for inverting remained. The act allowed a firm to invert if it has substantial business operations in the country where the new parent was to be located; the regulations at one point set a 10% level of these business operations. Several inversions using the business activity test resulted in Treasury regulations in 2012 that increased the activity requirement to 25%, effectively closing off this method. Firms could also invert by merging with a foreign company if the original U.S. stockholders owned less than 80% of the new firm. Two features made a country an attractive destination: a low corporate tax rate and a territorial tax system that did not tax foreign source income. Recently, the U.K. joined countries such as Ireland, Switzerland, and Canada as targets for inverting when it adopted a territorial tax. At the same time, the U.K. also lowered its rate (from 25% to 20% by 2015). Several high-profile companies had more recently indicated an interest in merging with a non-U.S. headquartered company, including Pfizer, Chiquita, AbbVie, and Burger King. This "second wave" of inversions again raises concerns about an erosion of the U.S. tax base. Chiquita and AbbVie have canceled their plans in the wake of new Treasury regulations, but Burger King and other firms are continuing merger plans. Pfizer subsequently terminated its planned merger with Allergan after Treasury regulations issued in 2016. Two policy options have been discussed in response: a general reform of the U.S. corporate tax and specific provisions to deal with tax-motivated international mergers. Some have suggested that lowering the corporate tax rate as part of broader tax reform would slow the rate of inversions. Although a lower rate would reduce the incentives to invert, it would be difficult to reduce the rate to the level needed to stop inversions, especially given the effect of the revenue loss on the budget. Other tax reform proposals suggest that if the United States moved to a territorial tax, the incentive to invert would be eliminated. There are concerns that a territorial tax could worsen the profit-shifting that already exists among multinational firms. The second option is to directly target inversions: H.R. 1931, H.R. 3434, and S. 1636 would treat all mergers as U.S. firms if the U.S. shareholders maintain control of the merged company, as well as impose other restrictions. S. 1673 would tax accumulated earnings of inverting firms. H.R. 1932 and S. 851 would include anti-inversion provisions as part of a broader proposal to address tax havens and deferral. H.R. 3603 would address earnings-stripping of inverted corporations. H.R. 3424 would disallow federal contracts for inverted firms. H.R. 1451 and S. 586 would make major changes in the tax treatment of foreign source income and tighten existing anti-inversion rules. On September 22, 2014, the Treasury announced regulatory measures to limit some of the benefits of inversions. Evidence from news accounts and statistical data suggest that inversions have declined.
Book Synopsis Corporate Inversions and Whack-a-Mole Tax Policy by : Bret Wells
Download or read book Corporate Inversions and Whack-a-Mole Tax Policy written by Bret Wells and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article argues that policymakers must address the fundamental tax disparity that creates corporate inverses or else changing forms of inversion transactions will continue to pop-up like moles in a whack-a-mole game. Instead of attacking the inversion symptoms, the United States must comprehensively address the base erosion advantages provided to inbound foreign-based MNEs and protect its source country right to tax profits that originate from within its borders since the base erosion and profit-shifting advantages afforded to inbound foreign-owned MNEs is what fuels these inversion transactions. Thus, the article argues that policymakers need to adopt reform measures that seek to eliminate the significant tax advantages given to foreign ownership of U.S. business activities in order to equalize the playing field between U.S.-based MNEs and foreign-based MNEs. This is the fundamental lesson we are overdue to learn from the corporate inversion phenomenon.
Book Synopsis Corporate Inversion Strategies Versus Anti-inversion Treasury Regulations by : J.G.S. Yang
Download or read book Corporate Inversion Strategies Versus Anti-inversion Treasury Regulations written by J.G.S. Yang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade was intended to promote economic efficiency on a global scale. However, like most good intentions, there are unintended consequences. Many U.S. multi-national corporations earned profits abroad but never remitted dividends back to the United States. This amounted to approximately $2 trillion by 2014, which results in a loss of $20 billion in the U.S. tax revenue. Worse yet, many corporations even renounced their U.S. citizenships and moved abroad, bringing with them their U.S. tax base. This kind of loss is even more devastating because it is a permanent loss. In fact, 76 corporations have actually done so in the past two decades. The trend is becoming more serious and abusive. This movement in the arena of international taxation is known as "corporate inversion". What are the reasons contributing to this debacle? What strategies did these corporations employ? Did the U.S. Treasury take any action to stop it? In fact, it has prompted the U.S. Congress to enact Code Sec. 7874, the IRS to issue Notices 2014-52 and 2015-79, and the U.S. Treasury to promulgate T.D. 9761. What do these regulations intend to accomplish? This article attempts to answer these questions.
Book Synopsis Irrational Investors and the Corporate Inversion Puzzle by : Gregory Day
Download or read book Irrational Investors and the Corporate Inversion Puzzle written by Gregory Day and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent legislative and administrative efforts, U.S. corporations continue to engage in a controversial business strategy known as a “corporate inversion.” A U.S corporation performing an inversion must acquire a foreign corporation and then, through a series of complex transactions, restructures in the foreign corporation's country. In light of the United States' burdensome corporate tax code, the inversion process allows formally American corporations to become taxable as a foreign entity, generating sizable tax savings.It is seldom noticed, however, that the inversion trend raises a significant corporate law puzzle regarding the misaligned incentives dividing directors and shareholders. From a corporate director's point of view, inversions are particularly attractive. This is because the process can be structured to reduce a company's tax rate while also lessening management's duty to comply with costly regulatory frameworks. For instance, inverted companies often reincorporate in countries with more management-friendly corporate governance statutes. Likewise, since U.S. exchanges subject foreign incorporated companies to less scrutinizing securities regulations, the inversion process can allow publicly traded companies to minimize costly disclosure, auditing, and corporate governance requirements. But, critically, inversions are puzzling from an investor or shareholder's perspective. Since corporate regulations are generally thought to protect investors, why would an individual invest in a company that has deliberately sought out and reincorporated in a country that provides minimal shareholder protections? In fact, shareholders often vote in favor of, and thus authorize, the very transactions that limit their ability to acquire information and enforce other shareholder rights. So why is the corporate migration trend booming if individuals should disfavor investing in inverted companies and shareholders should refuse to authorize them? Do individuals value the law? Using an original dataset and empirical analysis, this Article explores why individuals appear to ignore something as important -- and as valuable -- as the law.
Book Synopsis Reinterpreting Corporate Inversions by : Inho Andrew Mun
Download or read book Reinterpreting Corporate Inversions written by Inho Andrew Mun and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate inversions have drawn outrage from all segments of society. In an inversion, a company reincorporates abroad to escape its U.S. tax burden. Regulators and academics have typically sought tax law solutions to curb tax inversions. However, the resulting tax regulations have been ineffective, while more radical tax reforms are not politically feasible. This Note argues that inversion is not a tax problem in isolation, but a problem of aligning tax paid with benefits conferred by a given country. By introducing non-tax dimensions into the equation, this Note refines the oft-ignored benefit tax theory. The benefit tax theory proposes that the U.S. corporate tax regime accounts for superior legal and nonlegal benefits that companies enjoy by incorporating or operating in the United States. While paying U.S. tax, corporations receive the benefits of corporate governance, securities regulation, intellectual property law, and other areas of law; furthermore, benefits include many nonlegal business factors such as access to a large consumption market, skilled labor pool, capital markets, and more.This Note classifies the relevant benefits into three categories: Type I benefits, which corporations enjoy regardless of their place of incorporation or operation; Type II benefits, which corporations enjoy only if they are incorporated in the United States; and Type III benefits, which corporations enjoy by having operations in the United States. Using this classification, this Note builds a novel multi-dimensional regulatory competition model wherein countries compete across various legal and nonlegal dimensions, as opposed to the one-dimensional tax competition model on which inversion scholars have typically relied.The benefit tax theory and the multi-dimensional competition model illustrate that the problem with inversions is that corporations continue to take advantage of Type III benefits offered by the United States while paying lower tax elsewhere to a non-U.S. country. Inversion is problematic precisely because of the unbundling of certain Type III benefits from the rest of U.S. tax law. Understanding the inversion problem in this way leads to a clear solution: a better bundling of the U.S. tax law with the Type III benefits provided by the United States.
