Abstract
It is now widely taken as axiomatic that the existing international corporate tax system is based on the principle that corporate profits are taxed where value is created (the “value creation principle”). There also appears to be widespread agreement, at least amongst policymakers, that the system should be based on this principle. This policy paper disputes both these descriptive and normative claims.
