Taxation, regulation, and the organizational structure of property-casualty insurers

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine how an organizational structure decision for expanding property-casualty insurers is influenced by state taxation and regulation. Data were collected from 2,335 property-casualty insurers and state tax and regulatory conditions in 1991. Results demonstrated that the costs of state tax and regulation are mitigated through appropriate cross-state expansion.

State and provincial corporate tax planning: income shifting and sales apportionment factor management

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to document a strategy through which corporations avoid state income taxes. American state and Canadian provincial data between 1983 and 1991 were examined. Tests were carried out to analyze the unique properties of state formula apportionment systems. Results indicated that corporate income tax revenues are concave in corporate tax rates. Such revenues are consistent with companies shifting their tax bases to more favorable taxed jurisdictions.
