Abstract

This paper contains a framework for the estimation of the tax revenues gained by a country because it has access to foreign investment. Both private direct and indirect investment are considered along with foreign borrowing by the host country's government. This framework is used to evaluate the tax benefit received by Canada from this source for the period from 1965 to 1974. By 1974 the tax benefit from foreign investment had grown to between $2.2 and $3.4 billion annually. This is equivalent to between 1.5 and 2.5 per cent of Canada's gross national product.
