4.Globalization has made it more difficult for national governments to tax : orporate income effectively because it is difficult to establish where the income was earned. Companies like Amazon exploit this to shift their tax burdens to countries with lower rates, effectively depriving some countries of revenue they deserve and need and sending money to countries that do not bear the cost of supporting the company's operations. Should countries compete for corporate tax revenue by offering lower rates than their neighbors?
