Given the US has among the highest rates of taxation and corps are moving their headquarters out of the US, what do you determine to be "their fair share"?

Washington, DC, September 13, 2011 -- A new analysis of research on corporate taxes finds that U.S. firms consistently have among the highest effective tax rate in the world. Taking the most recent thirteen academic studies that compared effective corporate tax rates across nations, the Tax Foundation's most recent report documents the U.S. effective corporate rate as significantly higher than the average of all other nations.

"Taken as a whole, these studies indicate that the average effective tax rate for U.S. corporations - like the statutory rate - is one of the highest in the world. By every avail*able measure, the U.S. imposes a very high tax burden on its corporate sector, in com*parison to other nations, even after credits and deductions are considered," said Tax Foundation Adjunct Scholar Philip Dittmer.
