ROLE OF TAXATION IN FOREIGN INVESTIMENT 2

Role of Taxation in Foreign Investment

Taxes imposed by governments are directly responsible the levels of foreign

investments witnessed in a country. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) must be promoted

sustainably with good policies taxation in order to have a proper economic growth. It is a

very complicated task to strike a fair deal that will ensure that the government collects a good

amount from the large companies within its jurisdiction, at the same time being friendly.

From the research that has been conducted from the past, it is known world-wide that a

country has never developed significantly by conducting trade with itself. External investors

combined with a booming industrial culture sets the pace of a country moving. Therefore,

countries are left in the crossroads of stiff competition of providing the fairest policies that

can favour as most investors as possible. (Chow, Hoopes & Maydew, 2017).

Investment from external parties is not a matter conclusively affected by the corporate

income taxes alone, rather many factors like existence of a strong market with a high

purchasing power will prove very needful. For this particular research, I intend to collect

information concerning the levels to which taxation impacts the FDI. The major resources to

provide information needed are the banks, the ministries handling industries, trade and the

national treasury. Business practitioners and consultant swill prove handy in this by sharing

their conception of the subject matter. To mine information from these institutions, I will seek

to book appointments with the personnel working in the institutions. (Kugler, 2018).

Ethical issues in the research

From the research that is going to take place, I purpose to present the data and information

without the least fabrication and misrepresentation of facts. Information that needs utmost

privacy will be kept confidential and away from the public. Mutual respect will be the game

publication of literature.

Data collection

The most useful methods for data collection I am going to employ are the structured

questionnaires and surveys, google forms, personal interviews, case studies, focus groups and

records and documents. All these methods will find their way to the multinational companies,

banks, business consultants and tax revenue authorities. These are the best resource teams

available to give reliable information concerning the impact taxes can have on foreign

investment. The methods of data question will bear the research questions to be asked. From

the research, we will get the best approach the government can use to better its policies on

taxes.

Data analysis

Once the data has been collected, it will be possible to do hypothesis testing. Determination

of sample size, regression and standard deviation methods will be used to analyse the

significance of the data collected. Realism and pragmatism will be the most dominant

research philosophy since we are handling real data from the field of what is truly on the

ground and what needs to be done to improve the situation.

Instruments for data collection

Related to the data collection methods but now they structured and designed to mine enough

data needed for analysis. For questionnaires, they will only address a few people where

precision in detail is needed. Document analysis will most widely cover the public together

with focus groups.

Research design and limitations.

Since the research is more of a field survey, it will take the descriptive design. Data and facts

collected will be explained in detail. The major limitation of the research exercise will be

gaining access to the big institutions. The protocols to be followed may make the exercise

expensive and with delays.
