ISDS is a mechanism included in many trade and investment agreements to settle disputes. Settling these investor disputes relies on arbitration rather than public courts. Under agreements which include ISDS mechanisms, a company from one signatory state investing in another signatory state can argue that new laws or regulations could negatively affect its expected profits or investment potential, and seek compensation in a binding arbitration tribunal. Corporations typically seek compensation which may amount to millions or billions of US dollars.

The system only provides for foreign companies to sue states, not the other way around. Tiếp tục đọc “What is investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS)?”

Vietnam fears effects of US tax bill on foreign investment

Last update 10:38 | 04/02/2018

Tax reform passed by the US Congress at the end of last year may affect Vietnam’s economy as US investors are likely to send their investment back home, where the corporate income tax (CIT) rate has been slashed, Vietnamese economic experts have warned.

The sweeping tax reforms, signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 22, include reductions in the CIT rate from 35 per cent to 21 per cent and a minimum of 10.5 per cent rate on any foreign profits US companies send home.

The tax overhaul should encourage corporations to relocate or build new operations in the US instead of overseas, where the CIT rate is often lower.

The US Government also hopes that US companies will repatriate their foreign cash piles given the attractive 10.5 per cent tax rate. Tiếp tục đọc “Vietnam fears effects of US tax bill on foreign investment”
