Abstract Tax holidays for foreign multinational firms are tax concessions or straight subsidies granted for a limited period after entry. Such phenomena occur widely. We apply a sequential bargaining framework to a problem of ex post bilateral monopoly characterized by the presence of a host-country government and a foreign multinational firm. We show formally how a tax holiday can arise due to irreversible outlays and outside options.
