The failure to modernize our international tax system has hindered the ability of American companies and workers to compete in the global economy. Our corporate tax rate is now the highest among all industrialized countries and the U.S. finds itself the only G8 economy that hasn’t yet reformed its international tax rules in order to attract increased investment.
Join us for an important discussion among legislative and policy thought leaders as to how modernizing our international tax system can strengthen American competitiveness in the global marketplace and encourage economic growth here at home.
