Paper Abstract: Indirect impact of free trade treaty on U.S. taxation, based on member parties' negotiation of separate bilateral tax treaties.

The impact of the NAFTA on United States taxation related to international transactions, therefore, was inferred on the basis of the comparison of tax treaties between Canada and the United States and between Mexico and the United States in existence prior to the ratification of the NAFTA with protocols of those treaties n Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
