Download or read book Portfolio Substitution and the Revenue Cost of Exempting State and Local Government Interest Payments from Federal Income Tax written by James M. Poterba and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores how alternative assumptions about household portfolio behavior affect estimates of the revenue cost of excluding state and local government interest payments from the federal income tax base. Standard tax expenditure estimates assume that current holders of tax-exempt bonds would replace their holdings of tax-exempt bonds with taxable bonds if the tax exemption were eliminated. We consider a number of alternative possible portfolio responses. Because taxable bonds are among the most heavily taxed assets, assuming that investors holding tax-exempt bonds would otherwise hold taxable bonds yields a larger estimate of the revenue cost of tax exemption than many alternative assumptions. Based on data from the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances, we estimate that the revenue cost of tax exemption under the "taxable bond substitution hypothesis" is $14.2 billion, compared with $10.1 billion if corporate stock replaces tax-exempt bonds in household portfolios, and $7.9 billion if investors distribute their tax-exempt bond holdings in proportion to the other assets currently in their portfolios. We also explore the revenue effects of capping the dollar amount of tax-exempt interest per tax return and of limiting tax-exempt interest as a fraction of AGI.
Download or read book Tax Exempt Bonds Are Here To Stay Why Congress Should Not Eliminate Tax Exempt Financing for States written by Randle B. Pollard and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current political climate of advocating a reduction of federal expenditures and reducing the federal deficit, there continues to be discussion by President and the U.S. Congress of reforming the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The recent passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“Fiscal Cliff Act”) has not resolved the federal budget deficit issues. Prior to the passage of the Fiscal Cliff Act, the repeal or limitation of several deductions or exclusions in the Code know as tax expenditures, were being considered. One of these expenditures was the exclusion of interest on state and local bonds provided for in section 103 of the Code. There are proposals by the President and Congress to eliminate or substantially reduce federal income tax exemption of interest income received from municipal debt. Not since the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 has there been sufficient political momentum to consider eliminating or restricting tax-exemption of municipal debt. This paper will support the premise that Congress should not eliminate or limit the exclusion of interest on state and local bonds through section 103 of the Code because the alternatives financing options for state and local government entities will not reflect the demand of investors; remove state and local control of their debt financing; and create an inefficient federal bureaucracy for funding of state and local projects.

Book excerpt: IF YOU KNEW WHAT I KNOW... Would you buy a municipal bond for the subways in New York City that’s rated AA-, or only A? Would you care what a bond is for as long, as it’s a general obligation backed by the issuer’s full faith, credit, and taxing power? Would you pay 109 for a bond, a premium of $90 for every $1,000 face value, knowing you’re going to get back only $1,000 at the end??Would it be crazy to buy a 30-year bond at age 80? Would you read “these bonds are not a debt of the state” as a fair warning, Buyer Beware??Tax free municipal bonds. Would you buy them at all? STRAIGHT TALK FROM THE MAN WHO PUT MUNIS ON THE MAP FOR THE INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR. Would telling you the whole story about investing in municipal bonds, and making sure you know the risks involved, kill the sale? “I’ll take my chances,” says Jim (Municipal Bonds Are My Babies) Lebenthal. For 45 years, Jim Lebenthal wrote and starred in the Lebenthal family’s municipal bond business commercials - information nuggets that educated the public and turned munis into a household word, wherever his face and voice were seen and heard. Outraged by what Wall Street had done to the financial markets with reckless abandon, and Bernie Madoff with malice aforethought, Jim gives equal time in Lebenthal On Munis…Deciding, "Yes…" or "No!" to the Whys and Why Nots for investing in his "babies." "Balancing the heady appeal of tax exemption with the payment record of municipal bonds in the Depression and the volatility of resale prices during the inflation tortured '70s and '80s, isn’t optional for a broker," says Lebenthal. "Full Disclosure is the law." In Lebenthal on Munis, Jim carries out that law, even if Full Disclosure means turning Jim and his babies, thumbs down. DECIDING, "YES…" OR "NO!"
