Book excerpt: On January 7, 2005, President Bush announced the establishment of a bipartisan panel to advise on options to reform the tax code to make it simpler, fairer, and more pro-growth to benefit all Americans. The Advisory Panel released a report containing revenue neutral policy options for reforming the Federal Internal Revenue Code. These options should: simplify Federal tax laws to reduce the costs and administrative burdens of compliance with such laws; share the burdens and benefits of the Federal tax structure in an appropriately progressive manner while recognizing the importance of homeownership and charity in American society; and promote long-run economic growth and job creation, and better encourage work effort, saving, and investment, so as to strengthen the competitiveness of the United States in the global marketplace.

Although some of the commission's ideas, taken in piecemeal form, have some merit, the overall approach signals further reduction in the tax burdens of the wealthy, and increased taxes on working families.

Download or read book Will U S Investment Go Abroad in a Territorial Tax written by James R. Repetti and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article critiques the Report of the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform (the Report). The Report recommends the U.S. adopt a territorial tax system that would exclude income earned by U.S. taxpayers actively conducting foreign businesses. The Report anticipates that its proposal might generate concern about whether a territorial system would cause U.S. businesses to allocate more jobs and assets overseas to low-tax countries. Referring to an article by Altshuler and Grubert, the Report says: Researchers found no definitive evidence that location incentives would be significantly changed, which suggests that the territorial system the panel has proposed would not drive U.S. jobs and capital abroad relative to the current system. The Report incorrectly uses the absence of evidence of an adverse effect to assert that there will be no adverse effect. Theory predicts that a territorial tax will increase the incentive for U.S. multinationals and firms with no prior foreign investment to increase capital transfers to foreign subsidiaries in low-tax countries. A careful reading of the Altshuler-Grubert study reveals that Altshuler and Grubert view their empirical results as inconclusive. Moreover, there are additional factors not considered by Altshuler and Grubert that create further uncertainty about their empirical results, as detailed in this article. The Report justifies its recommendation for a territorial tax by asserting that the tax will eliminate the tax impediment to repatriating earnings and will make U.S. multinationals more competitive. A complete analysis of the welfare effects of a territorial tax, however, requires that such benefits be considered in the context of other welfare costs that a territorial tax may impose on domestic investment. Since a territorial tax represents a significant variance from the U.S. tax norm that all income should be taxed, the U.S. should enact a territorial system only if it can be shown that the benefits outweigh the costs. This article explains that the Report does not consider potential costs of a territorial tax that make it impossible to determine the net welfare impact of a territorial tax. As a result, this article concludes that the Report fails to make a persuasive case for such a tax.

Book excerpt: In November 2005, the President's Advisory Panel on Tax Reform presented two potential reform proposals: a simplified income tax (SIT) and a direct consumption tax proposal (the growth and investment tax, or GIT). Both proposals would eliminate itemized deductions while allowing, for all taxpayers, a credit for mortgage interest deductions and deductions for charitable contributions and health insurance. Both proposals substitute credits for personal exemptions and standard deductions. Both would allow greatly expanded tax-preferred savings plans. SIT would eliminate taxes on dividends and most capital gains from corporate stock, simplify depreciation and allow expensing (deducting costs immediately) for small business, and alter the international tax regime. GIT, as a consumption tax, would allow expensing of all investment. GIT also includes a tax on passive capital income (dividends, interest, and capital gains). Both proposals are stated to be both revenue and distributionally neutral. Because the panel uses a baseline assuming the 2001 tax cuts are permanent, both would lose revenue compared to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) official baseline, which has the tax cuts expire as provided by current law. An additional revenue loss is expected in the long run because of the proposals for tax-deferred savings plans. These measures also cause the income tax proposal to be slightly less progressive than current law. The consumption tax proposal is likely to be significantly less progressive than current law. The plans would simplify tax filing for higher-income individuals and the self employed; lower-income taxpayers could, in some cases, have more complicated tax returns. Much simplification rests on the assumption that many minor provisions, not actually discussed, will be eliminated, an unlikely event in the case of certain provisions such as casualty losses and catastrophic medical expenses. Both plans would likely increase efficiency in the allocation of capital, but these effects would be quite small for SIT and lessened for GIT due to the tax on financial income. The SIT may magnify distortions in the allocation of capital around the world. The effects on overall economic growth would be negligible for SIT because of the limited change in marginal tax rates. Although there would be a substantial reduction in effective tax rates on new investment under GIT, the growth effects for this plan are uncertain and may be quite modest. In any case, they are not large enough to materially affect the budget outlook. The effects on economic efficiency other than in the allocation of capital are mixed: a floor under charitable deductions along with expansion to non-itemizers would contribute to efficiency, but the effects on health markets are unclear. Transition problems present difficulties; the main issue with the SIT would probably be in the loss of deductions for homeowners with large houses and mortgages. These transition problems in the SIT are minor, however, in comparison with the significant problems in the GIT arising from the loss of depreciation deductions, interest deductions, and deductions for the recovery of inventory. This report will not be updated.
Download or read book The Report on Tax Reform Options written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB) approved its report on tax reform and sent it to the President. The PERAB report fulfills the specific mandate they were given: to discuss the pros and cons of a spectrum of reform ideas relating to tax simplification, improving compliance with existing tax laws, and reforming the corporate tax system. They were also instructed not to consider policies that would raise taxes on families making less than $250,000. The report is meant to be informative rather than prescriptive. Its intention is to aid discussion about the wide variety of tax reform ideas in these areas. The PERAB was not tasked with providing its own policy recommendations for the Administration and, of course, given the independence of the PERAB as a group of outside advisers, it is not a reflection of administration ideas under consideration. The final report approved today is an informative and important almanac of options for tax reform.
