Even more so, if a company is receiving a tax break in the United States but is doing work outside of the county, can it be deemed unnecessary to allow them to receive tax exemptions? It would seem plausible that a company that is based in the United States and promotes the United States economy would receive tax benefits, but not ones that work outside out the country.
