There are, however, provisions that allow companies to avoid paying U.S. taxes on income generated by their foreign subsidiaries, at least until they bring those profits back to the United States. Both the president and legislator say these deferrals can encourage U.S.-based multinational companies to keep their foreign profits abroad and reinvest them in infrastructure overseas.”

Many companies have identified that they have a major role to play in protecting the natural habitat and ensuring that business is not only about making profits. Some organizations are setting aside funds that are developed in the protection of the environment while other organizations are setting a tree-planting day as part of their annual calendar. Companies have legal and ethical responsibilities that guide the organization in making sure that the environment is taken care of. The natural resource depletion and the environmental pollution have led to conservation groups setting rules that govern the company in utilizing natural resources.

This not only is giving huge breaks towards companies who exported the U.S job market overseas, but serves as an incentive to continue to export jobs overseas due to a lesser overhead cost and tax exemptions of doing so. The Inventory Property Sales, wealth created overseas of American companies is taxed in the nation or region in where it is created, and the U.S. gives a tax credit for that amount in order to avoid double taxation. However, this exception has lead towards a huge amount of job exporting and tax evasion. Some companies have amassed disproportionate amount of such tax credits “inventory” as it is called. According to Sarah from the Financial Times “To be able utilize their inventory credits, companies artificially boost foreign income through a ‘title passage rule’ that allows companies to allocate 50 percent of income from U.S. production sold in another country as income generated by that foreign country the ‘property sales’” which leads to a further enriching of shareholders and CEO’s while passing the economic burden onto the American public.

As a result of these current tax laws, U.S. companies that seek to avoid high corporate tax rates hold their foreign earned profits overseas. “It just makes no sense to pay a substantial tax on it,” said Joseph Kennedy, a senior fellow at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (Rubin, R.). It is far too easy for an IT corporation to create a patent in a foreign country and direct revenue to a corporation within that country, thus avoiding the much higher U.S. tax rates. According to Joint Committee on Taxation estimates, the lost revenue is increasing over time as corporations find even more creative ways to make their U.S. profits look like offshore income (Richards, K., & Craig, J.). As result, multinational American corporations have as much as $2 trillion held in overseas subsidiaries and if brought into the United States with the current tax laws, the federal government could benefit by nearly $50 billion per year.

Throughout years large American industrial companies have been running away from U.S. taxes, but there has been a new change.

Norms are expectations of behaviour and a vital part of the international community (Finnemore and Sikkink, 1998, 887). In the anarchic system of international politics, norms can provide stability and unity due to certain expectations, as well as implement change when norm shifts restructure the international community (Finnemore and Sikkink, 1998, 894). Therefore, the process that enables a norm to be accepted internationally is an important one to analyze and understand. In order for a norm to become international, the most important factors are shared moral assessment and hegemonic acceptance of the norm.
