Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Taxation I have tried to be as simple as possible in stat ing the principles. I should like to make a state ment so plain that every voter could understand the meaning Of every word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph. Taxation is not, however, an easy matter. As a pamphlet on the subject said, in referring to a dinner Of mayors who passed a resolution on some phase Of it, Taxation is not to be mastered between the caviare and the coffee. Besides, an extremely simple statement is not always consistent with brevity, and I was writing primarily for men of affairs familiar with economic concepts and capable of grasping their import. Time is of the essence with them, and it was necessary to be brief. I have been as simple as I could be under the circumstances, and I be lieve the constant use of concrete illustrations will make the matter understandable to those who are not especially trained in economic thinking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Taxation The object of this work is to present in a concise and simple form an account of the British system of taxation and the principles on which it is based, together with some of the leading historical facts in its evolution. Taxation is a complex subject, and one on which there is no perfect consensus of opinion. The present aim, however, and the condensation imposed by limits of space, preclude minute discus sions on controversial points, so that, for the most part, broad principles and general tendencies alone are stated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Rational Taxation Assuming this theory of taxation to have some degree of truth, the question naturally arises what application can be made of it in forming a better system of taxation. A theory is of little value if it does not furnish a guide to the solution of some practical difficulties. Of course in the application of this theory to practice it must be modified by the many conflicting causes which become prominent in the world about us, yet the leading characteristics of the new system of taxation ought to become manifest from the development of the theory alone.

This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Justice in Taxation But a more fundamental difficulty than that which arises within the separate factors themselves is the determination of their relative importance. Each one must receive due con sideration; the political, because the relation of the state to the individual is primarily involved; the economic, because matters of taxation are essentially of an economic character; the ethical, because the subject and the end of the whole proceeding is man, a spiritual and therefore an essentially ethical entity. But which is the ruling factor? The im portance of this question, together with the full recognition of the separate factors, is so great that we shall treat this aspect of the subject somewhat 'at length before taking up the main question - that of justice in taxation. Indeed, this method of procedure is indispensable since the principles of justice can not be determined before the basis upon which they rest is established.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and First Principle of Taxation The writer is indebted to Professor Edwin Cannan for many suggestions and criticisms, mainly embodied here as improvements upon the original plan. The term "quasi-taxes" as used in this book, was one such suggestion: the phrase originally used was "mixed taxes." Taxation is a subject not usually associated with the lighter or more cheerful thoughts of men. Bright exceptions there are, such as Sydney Smith's lively description of the career of the schoolboy who ** whips his taxed top," who rides, as a youth, on a taxed horse with a taxed bridle along a taxed road, who dies at last, in a bed taxed 22 per cent., after taking his last drop of medicine, taxed 7 per cent., in a spoon that has paid 15 per cent.; "his virtues are handed down to posterity upon taxed marble; and he is then gathered to his fathers, - to be taxed no more." The jest is somewhat grim. There is a lighter touch in a Bluebook upon Taxation, to be cited as C. 9528, 1899, where I find on page 171 the following answer to the question as to what would be the effects of excusing tenants from paying their rates.

Download or read book Thoughts on the Principles of Taxation written by Charles Babbage and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on the Principles of Taxation: With Reference to a Property Tax, and Its Exceptions II. With respect to the expense of protecting personal liberty, some difficulties arise. It may be contended that the personal liberty of a poor man costs as much for its protection as that of a wealthy man or of a peer. If this be admitted, then it follows that a fixed sum might be charged on each individual, as a poll-tax, for his personal protection. But it would be impossible to raise any large sum by such means: because, unless the tax were very small, a considerable portion of the population would be absolutely unable to pay it. On the other hand, it may with some plausibility be maintained, that the value to any man, of his personal liberty, is in proportion to the amount of property he possesses. It is by no means an nu common event, that a poor man is convicted of a crime of which he is guiltless, simply from his want of money to pay for legal assistance and to bring into the presence of his judge the witnesses of his innocence. It is painful to reflect on the instances in which innocent persons have thus suffered even the extreme penalty of the law. But who ever heard of such calamities happening to a rich man?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fundamental Principles of Taxation in the Light of Modern Developments: The Newmarch Lectures for 1919 I have thought that, on the whole, it was best to leave them practically in the form in which they were given, and without correction, for modifications in practice that have since taken place, beyond brief footnotes. For the convenience of students who wish to pursue and study any particular points, a number of references have been given. I would remind readers that it was no part of my design to make a complete appraisal of any tax, and that critical references to particular aspects of a particular tax for the purpose of illustrating general principles should not be taken to imply a balance of approval or disapproval of that tax taken as a whole.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Principles and Practical Influence of Taxation and the Funding System The second edition of this work was published ten years ago. During the intervening period, the theory of taxation has been farther inquired into; the income-tax has been the theme of numerous and lengthened discussions and investigations; and great changes have been effected in our commercial policy, and in that of surrounding countries. In endeavouring to profit by the additional information which has been thus afforded, we have subjected every part of our work to a careful revision: and being to a great extent rewritten it has, in its present form, more of the character of a new treatise than of a revised edition of an old one. The doctrines embodied in it continue, indeed, to be nearly the same as formerly; but we would fain hope that they have been set in a clearer light; that the groundlessness of the objections made against them has been rendered more obvious; and that the principles and practical operation of the more important taxes and schemes of taxation have been better elucidated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taxation: Its Principles and Methods The author of this treatise kindly sent me a copy of it in the year 1882, I had become interested in his work, through his "Guide to the Study of Political Economy," introduced to English readers by the late Professor Jevons. I, accordingly, had a translation of the Scienza delle Finanze made for my own use, but without any fixed intention of publishing it. The admirable brevity and comprehensiveness of Professor Cossa's statement of the principles of taxation, and the light thrown on the evolution of the science of public finance, and the want of any short treatise of similar scope in the English language, led me to believe that it would find an appreciative audience in this country. But the time did not then appear to be favorable. During the past three or four years there has been a marked revival of interest in economic discussion, as is shown by the number of new works by American writers that have come from the press in that interval, and by the formation and regular meetings of two distinctively economic societies.

Download or read book The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation Classic Reprint written by Edwin R. A. Seligman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation is a title authored by Edwin Seligman, a professor at Columbia University. This work is an examination of the effect of taxes on economic welfare. For as long as there have been taxes, there have been varying philosophies on how the system of taxation should be structured. The purpose of Edwin Seligman's The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation is to provide the reader with an overview of the various approaches to tax incidence and examine the impacts on the individual under different systems of taxation. The author has divided the work into two distinct parts. Part one examines the history of the doctrine of incidence, highlighting both early and more modern approaches to the topic. Part two provides the reader with a detailed analysis of incidence as commonly deployed, and includes a thorough examination of the various forms of taxes and overarching taxation principles. The book concludes with a section providing advice to legislators, as well as a bibliography. The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation is a thorough handling of its subject matter. The title attempts to walk the fine line between accessibility and accuracy, and is largely successful, making this a work that can be appreciated both by economists and those with little formal background in the theories of taxation. Having been published in the nineteenth century, this work is also valuable for the snapshot in time that it provides of the tax system in the late 1800s. Readers interested in theories of taxation will surely find The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation to be a compelling read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Principles of Political Economy: And Taxation The nineteenth century shows to the student economic theories and the world of facts acting and interacting, each on each, and on the whole coming nearer in the process. Theories must and do influence men, and men theories. If Ricardo overworked deduction, he was the victim of an intellectual fashion which had its uses, performed its task, and made operative alike in theory and in practice the means of its own overthrow. If it be, mediately or immediately, Ricardo's shame to have justified many forms of misery, it is no less Ricardo's glory to have suggested many paths Of escape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methods of Taxation: Compared With the Established Principles of Justice N O writer appears to have devoted himself to this specific inquiry. Works on taxation are numerous; but they are usually either historical and descriptive, or in tended to apply particular theories. Most of the manuals of political economy have something to say about taxation, and many valuable monographs deal with problems that have from time to time demanded immediate solution. But we still lack a critical exposition of the relations of existing measures and systems of taxation to the rational bases of its methods; nor, perhaps, is it too much to say that the principles implied in such an exposition have never been clearly formulated. Hence many vigorous and really able commentaries on measures and systems of taxa tion have been comparatively ineffective. Kno one can scientifically criticise the laws actually adopted by legis lators without having some Ideal method in his mind;j and he can hardly influence public oplnlon unless he not only makes this ideal intelligible, but also establishes it on rational grounds.
