Book excerpt: From the back cover: In the first part of this book, the author examines critically the conventional wisdom which argues that the present high capital gains tax is needed to raise revenue, assure fairness and avoid economic inefficiences. Herbert Grubel shows that the tax raises little revenue , and that lower rates are likely to increase revenue in the short run. Several experts are cited who suggest that lower rates - and even the elimination of the tax - will result in higher economic growth. This increased growth will raise other tax payments by so much that overall revenues will increase in the longer run. On the issue of fairness, the author notes that over half of all capital gains taxes are paid by Canadians earning less than $50,000 in other regular income. The tax does not fall primarily on the rich, as many believe. He also questions the fairness of the triple taxation of returns on savings: business taxes, taxes on distributed profits, and capital gains taxes. Finally, there is nothing fair about taxing capital gains due to inflation. On the issue of efficiency, he notes that capital gains tax produces a lock-in effect of capital and prevents the exploitation of profitable new investment opportunities.

Download or read book Taxation and Savings in Canada written by Charles M. Beach and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is one of the outputs from the Council's three-year study of the taxation of capital income, of the income derived from savings and investments and how fiscal policies affect individual savings. The study begins with a review of the conventional life-cycle theory of savings behaviour and an analysis of the manner in which taxes affect the life-cycle pattern of savings and consumption. Discusses institutional aspects of taxation and savings in Canada, through surveys of the relevant provisions of the tax system as they affect capital income. Summarizes activities in aggregate savings and estimates aggregate consumption functions. The functions are then used for two types of simulation models: impact effects of interest-rate changes on consumption and savings, and the long-run effects over the remainder of the life-cycle resulting from permanent tax reforms. Discusses welfare economics and policy issues surrounding the taxation of capital income under the personal income system, outlining equity and efficiency differences between income and consumption taxation.
