From the Paper:

"Another risk that companies who conduct international business face is the difference in tax laws. Only after-tax cash flows are relevant for capital budgeting. Because of this, financial managers must account for taxes paid to foreign governments on profits earned within these various countries. Financial managers must also assess the impact of these tax payments on the parent company's United States tax liability, because full or partial credit is sometimes allowed for foreign tax payments."
