Unit 5 Discussion

Taxes

20 pts.

Taxes are a hot topic both in politics and business.  Many U.S. companies conduct business in foreign counties and retain their profits in those countries.  Our government is one of the only governments to tax earnings of corporations earned outside of the home country.  Many high profile companies like Google have or are looking into moving their corporate headquarters to other countries that have a more favorable tax status. Some critics state that the current tax code creates a disincentive for some companies to stay and invest within the United States.

Find an article on an American company that has or is considering a move to another country because of the tax rates.  Post the link and briefly summarize the company plans.  Also state whether you agree or disagree with the company.
