ID-78-13 Impact on Trade of Changes in Taxation of U.S. Citizens Employed Overseas [i] (1978-02-21)

handle is hein.tera/impchtu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Impact On Trade Of Changes In Taxation Of U. S. Citizens Employed Overseas In 1976 the Congress substantially reduced a longstanding tax incentive for citizens em- ployed abroad. At that time there was a high degree of uncertainty as to what the loss of this incentive would mean to individuals, firms, and the U.S. economy. Some answers are provided in this report. In 1977 the Congress postponed the effective date of the tax incentive reductions until the 1977 tax year. Until a system is established for evaluating the effectiveness of these incen- tives, policy formulation and congressional oversight will be hindered. GAO urges that consideration be given to con- tinuing some type of incentive, at least until more effective policy instruments for promot- ing exports and commercial competitiveness abroad are identified and implemented.
