Key Findings
 All OECD countries with territorial tax systems have designed provisions that
seek to prevent base erosion and profit shifting by multinational corporations.
 Designing a territorial tax system requires balancing competing goals:
exempting foreign business activity from domestic taxation, protecting the
domestic corporate tax base, and creating a simple system. A system can
generally only have up to two of these.
 Many countries including the United States have either reformed or adopted
new rules to protect their tax bases in recent years.
 More than 130 countries are discussing a global minimum tax as an additional
measure of tax base protection, although it is unclear whether this policy
will amend current rules or create a complex new layer of tax rules for
multinationals.
