Outer space is in constant use. Most obviously, billions of
"packets" of information travel through it every day, for the
infinitely various purposes of countless people and organizations.
Space platforms increasingly provide important research data for
businesses, institutions, and governments. Taxation issues are
inevitable. In fact, tax planners have for several years been
engaged in designing tax incentives to enhance the development of
space commerce. A significant focus of this book is an in-depth
evaluation of the current US discussion of tax rules designed to
stimulate space commerce in 2001. The debate is placed squarely in
its complete context of historic developments and constraints,
prevailing tax law (in this case the US internal revenue code), and
the body of international and national space law that began with
the 1967 Space Treaty. Comparative analysis is provided by
examination of corresponding schemes evolving in Canada, Japan,
Australia, and France. Specific events, developments, issues, and
probabilities dealt with in "The Taxation of Space Commerce"
include the following: the economic significance of the Challenger
launch in 1986; the value of F.J. Turner's classic "frontier"
thesis for understanding the "new frontier" of space; the
Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984 (US); the role of the US
internal revenue code's foreign tax credit; the 1979 Moon Treaty;
remote-sensing and nuclear power; the 1998 Inter-Governmental Space
Station Agreement; case law, especially Smith v. United States;
multinational vs. unilateral taxation schemes; benefits of space
commerce for society as a whole; and competitiveness and economic
efficiency. As a major contribution to the literature of space law
and tax law, this text aims to fill an important need. Beyond that,
it is a work which should be of value not only for taxation
specialists and communications industry executives and their
counsel, but for any enterprise with an eye to the not-too-distant
future.
