Tax base erosion poses a significant challenge to tax collection and financial stability in Vietnam. This study explores potential solutions to address tax base erosion in Vietnam today. The study employs analytical and comparative methodologies to evaluate the current state of tax base erosion in Vietnam and propose viable solutions. Firstly, it is imperative to enhance the effectiveness of tax management by adopting advanced technology and comprehensive workforce training. Furthermore, implementing stringent regulations on transfer pricing and deploying measures to deter tax avoidance can mitigate profit shifting and tax evasion perpetrated by multinational corporations. International collaboration also holds a pivotal role, involving the ratification of tax treaties and active engagement in global initiatives such as the OECD’s BEPS framework. Lastly, fostering a competitive business environment and promoting economic diversification can reduce dependence on industries susceptible to tax erosion. The Vietnamese government can effectively counter tax base erosion by integrating these measures, safeguarding fiscal stability, and fostering socio-economic progress.

We construct a new database of extensive margin changes to multiple aspects of corporate tax bases for OECD countries between 1980 and 2004. We use our data to systematically document the tendency of countries to implement policies that both lower the corporate tax rate and broaden the corporate tax base. This correlation informs our interpretation of previous estimates of the relationship between corporate tax rates and corporate tax revenues, which typically do not include comprehensive measures of the corporate tax base definition. We then re-examine the relationship between corporate tax rates and corporate tax revenues. We find that accounting for unobserved heterogeneity attenuates the relationship between corporate tax rates and corporate tax revenues, and increases the implied revenue-maximizing tax rate. Controlling for our new tax base measures does not substantively impact the magnitude of this relationship.

This paper reflects the tabled novel framework for corporate taxation in the European Union, founded on the Formulary Apportionment methodology and envisaged inclusion of intangible assets in the allocation formula. The objective is to simulate the variation between the currently used Separate Accounting and tabled Formulary Apportionment distribution of corporate tax base of companies active in the European Union. This paper exploits secondary microeconomic panel data obtained from the Orbis database for 77,087 subsidiaries affiliated with 2,283 parent companies observed from 2011 to 2019. The results reveal that the most significant relative declines of over 15% in the corporate tax base would be faced by Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, the Netherlands, and Ireland. In contrast, the biggest relative gains were accounted for Greece, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, and Latvia. If cross-border consolidation of losses is incorporated in the envisaged corporate tax framework, the EU-wide aggregate tax base reduces by 15, 67% over the examined years.

This paper analyzes the extent to which the degree of international economic integration, both financial and trade, affects corporate tax rates. It explores this issue in the context of strategic behavior by countries, taking into account other global and domestic political economy factors. Tax rates are analyzed using a unique tax dataset for advanced and developing economies extending over five decades. We report a number of novel results: there is no general negative relationship between financial globalization and corporate tax rates and revenues-results vary according to country grouping with OECD countries showing a positive relationship; the United States exhibits a \"Stackelberg\" type of leadership on other countries; trade integration is inversely correlated with tax rates; and public sentiment and ideology affect tax rates. The policy implications of these findings, particularly given budgetary pressures in the aftermath of the global crisis, are noted.

This paper explores how corporate taxes affect the financial structure of multinational banks. Guided by a simple theory of optimal capital structure it tests (i) whether corporate taxes induce subsidiary banks to raise their debt-asset ratio in light of the traditional debt bias; and (ii) whether international corporate tax differentials vis-a-vis foreign subsidiary banks affect the intra-bank capital structure through international debt shifting. Using a novel subsidiary-level dataset for 558 commercial bank subsidiaries of the 86 largest multinational banks in the world, we find that taxes matter significantly, through both the traditional debt bias channel and the international debt shifting that is due to the international tax differentials. The latter channel is more robust and tends to be quantitatively more important. Our results imply that taxation causes significant international debt spillovers through multinational banks, which has potentially important implications for tax policy.

Corporate income tax significantly affects the overall amount of government tax revenue. In spite of the attention being paid to many macroeconomic indicators (e.g. GDP, inflation, unemployment rate, etc.) influencing the total amount of tax revenues influence, we can hardly find empirical research focused on the microeconomic view where the data is based on of the individual financial statements and tax returns of companies. Although the study is very practical, it assesses the extent of the mutual co-dependence between the corporate income tax and assorted variables via non-parametric correlation. Moreover, it presents the impact of the corporate income tax on the national tax revenue of the Slovak Republic within the sample of evaluated taxpayers operating in agriculture, forestry and fishing in 2011-2015 from SK NACE Rev. 2 section “A” category of companies as legal entities ‒ Agriculture, forestry and fishing in 2011-2015. The study theoretically contributes to microeconomic-based view grounded on the adequate data of the legal entities, which were obtained from the corporate income tax returns provided by the Slovak Republic’s Financial Directorate.The authors found out a significant rate of dependency between selected evaluated variables in all groups in the reviewed period. This dependency, especially between total income and tax base, as well as between total income and corporate income tax, is an essential part of the accounting result determined in the double-entry bookkeeping. The reliance is also the basis for the income tax base calculation from which the adjusted tax base is declared, and subsequently the corporate income tax is calculated. Research results tell the corporate income tax revenue of our sample makes up for, largely, 1.6% of the total tax revenue flowing to the Slovak national budget. Therefore, a set of recommendations was put forth in order to strive for a maximization of these tax revenues within the agricultural sector.

Corporate taxes exert a variety of effects on business behaviour. A wealth of empirical evidence assesses the magnitude of these behavioural margins of taxation. This article offers an up-to-date review and aims to provide common ground by computing for each distortion the semi-elasticity of the corporate tax base. We pay particular attention to international investment where it is not a priori clear whether marginal investment decisions or discrete locations are more important. Using an extension of the meta analysis of De Mooij and Ederveen (2003), we explore the extent to which existing studies reveal differences in effect size between the intensive and extensive margins of international investment.

This paper is focused on the Formulary Apportionment, to be used within the European Union, hence, to replace the Separate Accounting and arm’s length principle. Reflecting upon the announced European Commission’s Proposal for new framework for business taxation and the foreseeable upswing of the academic discussion focused on the Formulary Apportionment methodology, this paper represents the first systematic literature review on this topic. The main aim of the paper is to identify the relevant prior research, explore the current literature and develop directions for future research. The study identifies eight main thematic clusters, provides an interpretative framework, and suggests valuable future research directions within each thematic cluster as well as general future research agenda.

This paper provides a conceptual overview of economists' attempts to learn about the effects of taxes on extractive resources. The emphasis is on research methods and techniques, with no attempt to provide a comprehensive tabulation of previous empirical results or policy conclusions regarding preferred tax instruments or systems. We argue, in fact, that the nature of such conclusions largely depends on the researcher's choice of modeling framework. Many alternative frameworks and approaches have been developed in the literature. Our goal is to describe the differences among them and to note their strengths and limitations.
