Article 43-1 governs the transfer pricing activities both domestic firms and multinational firms, and this Article ought to be accompanied by rules of thin-capitalization or earning stripping rules. Transnational corporations have enhanced opportunities to respond to taxation with financing and investment decisions. Usually corporations finance their investments with the strategies of tax deferring, transfer pricing, inter-company loans or rather complex strategies. The tax-planning activities by transnational corporations result in lower corporation tax revenues. Several countries permit interests expenses can be deducted from revenues, whereas dividend payment ought to be subtracted from after-tax earnings. Because tax deduction of interest payment will enjoy at tax saving, transnational corporations can usually design a high leverage ratio to minimize their tax burden. This kind of tax-planning will lead to the choice of investment locations. However, that will result in coercion of corporation tax base. Many countries have taken consideration or already legislated to prevent tax avoidance. In addition, transnational corporations make the capital structure choice in terms of debt and equity internally to minimize tax burden. Governments impose restrictions on the capital structure choice – thin capitalization rules, which deny interest deductions on inter-company debt if the debt-equity ratio or interest expenses exceed certain thresholds. This project aims to conduct the followings: 1.Summarizing of international experiences of thin-capitalization rules. 2.Feasibility, benefits, timing and steps of imposing thin-capitalization rules as well as revision of accompanying tax codes in Taiwan. And the estimation of possible tax revenues when thin-capitalization rules will be imposed. 3.Findings and conclusions to the proposal of taxation administration for the purpose of taxation equity.稀釋資本法則跨國公司槓桿比率所得稅thin-capitalization rules transnational corporations leverage ratio income tax我國建立稀釋資本課稅制度之研究
