Tax/Finance
Changes to the tax laws and accounting standards can be the key to unlocking enormous untapped economic potential. Unfortunately, many of today's tax laws were formulated at a time when manufacturing and trade in tangible goods were the predominant forms of economic activity. The last two decades have witnessed great change in business methods, products and assets. Tax laws and accounting standards must reflect these changed circumstances and assure that U.S.-based companies compete with global counterparts on a level playing field, while consumers do not become penalized by paying additional taxes to access the Internet or purchase goods and services electronically.
