Abstract

In this article, the author addresses the destination-based cash flow tax, which was recently proposed as a tax reform option in the United States, compares it to its forebears, the flat tax and the X-tax, and concludes that, although its substance has potential merit, it does not warrant further consideration in tax policy debate.

Keywords: tax reform, destination-based cash flow tax, border adjusted tax, corporate income taxation, value-added taxation
