The study is to compare the internaltional pratice and dicuss feasibility in implementing Alternative Minimum Tax and its added item- foreign income. How the effect will be if the Alternative Minimum Tax put into practice. Wheter the added item-foreign income will make the tax more correspond to the international trend and fairness of the taxation.
