Conclusions; References; Appendix I 330 3 $aGlobal economic integration intensified tax competition and raised concerns about the resulting "race to the bottom", which could undermine public investment and social spending. The aim of this paper is to test predictions that (i) there is interdependence in CIT rate setting in Eastern Europe and that (ii) the recent CIT cut in Moldova may intensify tax competition in the region. It finds that there is indeed evidence that during 1995-2006 countries in Eastern Europe strategically responded to changes in CIT rates in the region and that Moldovan zero CIT is likely to encourage further cuts in CIT. The paper also discusses implications of tax competition for Eastern Europe and finds that FDI flows will not be much affected, tax revenues are likely to decline, the shift in the composition in tax revenue may increase economic efficiency, but decrease equity. Tax coordination, while difficult politically, could help stem further decline in corporate taxation, but any gains might be modest and not certain to exceed the costs of tax coordination. Without tax coordination, however, it is unclear what exactly could stop corporate taxes from falling further. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/203 606 $aCorporations$xTaxation$zMoldova 606 $aCorporations$xTaxation$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aTaxation$zMoldova 606 $aTaxation$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aPersonal Finance -Taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aCorporate Taxation$2imf 606 $aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aCorporate & business tax$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aCorporate income tax$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aCompetition$2imf 606 $aPersonal income tax$2imf 606 $aCorporations$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aIncome tax$2imf 607 $aMoldova, Republic of$2imf 615 0$aCorporations$xTaxation 615 0$aCorporations$xTaxation 615 0$aTaxation 615 0$aTaxation 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aPersonal Finance -Taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aCorporate Taxation 615 7$aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aCorporate & business tax 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aCorporate income tax 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aCompetition 615 7$aPersonal income tax 615 7$aCorporations 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aIncome tax 676 $a336.243 700 $aPiatkowski$b Marcin$01485154 701 $aJarmuzek$b Mariusz$01472657 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788231303321 996 $aZero Corporate Income Tax in Moldova$93704142 997 $aUNINA
