As the geopolitical situations and the foreign affairs of the friendly country is to be protected by maintaining a harmony in the tax structure. If the tax peace is not maintained between the nations by way of arrangements or agreements then ultimately the companies and corporations will be suffering with the hands of the government byway of imposition of dual taxes and tariffs, in other words it may extend to tax wars. As a result the dual taxes paid by the individual or the company shall be shifted to the innocent consumers who are no-way related or connected with the nation’s political and ideological contradictions.
