Recommendation

Alex Brill, a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, argues convincingly that Israel will end up as a foreign direct investment backwater, despite its current success in that realm, if it continues to pander to the tax-’em-high camp. He demolishes the idea that higher taxes will help Israel’s budget, arguing that taxing investments is counterproductive and risks leading to even deeper debt. getAbstract commends this paper for its insightful analysis.

Take-Aways

  • Israel has one of the most enterprise-friendly corporate tax regimes in the world.
  • But the Israeli government is attacking this status and has already hiked corporate rates by 1%.
  • This erodes Israel’s competitive edge at a time when competition for foreign direct investment has never been more intense.
