Tax Policy: 1987 Company Effective Tax Rates Higher Than in Prior Years
Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the overall domestic and international tax burdens of large U.S. companies for 1986 and 1987.
Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.
