This article discusses the unsolved problem of taxing collaborative software engineering across borders, which has an overlooked legal implication when developers collaborate across national borders.

However, collaboration within a multinational enterprise has an overlooked legal implication when developers collaborate across national borders: It is taxable. In this article, we discuss the unsolved problem of taxing collaborative software engineering across borders.
