Higher mobility of capital and labor during the age of globalization has led to tax competition between countries. After the collapse of the USSR, with the liberalization of economies, all post-Soviet countries faced the globalization process. Post-Soviet countries adopted tax law in a short period and during transition reduced tax rates, especially rates of corporate tax and income tax. This paper analyzes the level of tax competition in selected Central Asian countries as Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan by implementing Clemente-Montano-Reyes Unit Root Test. Foreign yearly direct investment inflow data and corporate tax rate between 1992-2017 was used. Empirical results showed that tax reforms cause an effect on the level of foreign direct investment inflow in all three countries. But, along with this, ensuring economic development and stability could have a more significant effect on the inflow of foreign direct investment.

Более высокая мобильность капитала и рабочей силы в эпоху глобализации привела к налоговой конкуренции между странами. После распада СССР, с либерализацией экономики, все постсоветские страны столкнулись с процессом глобализации. Постсоветские страны за короткий период приняли налоговое законодательство и в переходный период снизили налоговые ставки, особенно ставки корпоративного налога и подоходного налога. В данной статье анализируется уровень налоговой конкуренции в отдельных странах Центральной Азии, таких как Кыргызстан, Казахстан и Узбекистан, путем применения теста Клементе-Монтано-Рейеса. Были использованы ежегодные данные о притоке прямых иностранных инвестиций и ставке корпоративного налога в период с 1992 по 2017 год. Эмпирические результаты показали, что налоговые реформы влияют на уровень притока прямых иностранных инвестиций во всех трех странах. Но, наряду с этим, более существенное влияние на приток прямых иностранных инвестиций могло бы оказать обеспечение экономического развития и стабильности.
