Download or read book The Economic Impacts of Tax Transfer Policy written by Fredrick L. Golladay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Impacts of Tax—Transfer Policy: Regional and Distributional Effects deals with evaluating proposed income-transfer policies through tax modeling. The book analyzes the direct and indirect effects of two variants of a negative income tax plan. These are the standard negative income tax and the Family Assistance Plan. By studying the indirect effects of income-maintenance programs on industries, occupations, and different regions, the authors point to understanding the effectiveness of alternative income-maintenance programs. Proposed changes in national taxes and transfer policies aim to achieve income redistribution. In their studies and models, the authors noted that the full impact of these tax policies throughout the income spectra covering different income classes, industries, occupations, and regions is different from that gathered from observations involving the direct effects of these schemes. The authors cite some policy implications resulting from their study, such as the redistributional impacts of direct tax-transfer scheme are not as efficient as expected and that increasing the demand for low-skilled workers and improving their job qualities is one way of improving income distribution. The text is valuable for economists and government policymakers in the finance and labor sectors, as well as for sociologists and political economists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States' progressive tax system has been a part of the income tax structure since the enactment of the historic 1913 income tax act and should continue to be maintained today for several reasons. First, a change in the tax system could have adverse effects on minorities and women. Second, the tax system is based on an ability to pay concept, and it is difficult to devise a system that adheres to that principle yet satisfies revenue demands and other considerations. While there have been significant societal changes since the country adopted the progressive tax structure, these changes do not warrant a modification of the current scheme of taxation. One significant change is the creation of the global society. It is apparent that globalization has increased competition amongst countries. One argument that has been asserted is that countries that use the progressive tax system and countries that tax capital could lose business to lower taxing countries. However, it is premature to conclude that globalization warrants a retrenchment from this country's use of the progressive tax structure. Several of our country's competitors maintain progressive tax structures, impose higher marginal rates and tax capital. During the last twenty years, the after-tax income of taxpayers in the top 10 income has increased while it has decreased for lower income taxpayers in the United States. The trend of reduced progressivity between the wealthiest taxpayers and others has been corrected to some degree by statutory enactments such as Roth IRAs and educational IRAs. While Congress has made some advances toward reversing the recent trends in tax distribution, additional steps toward ensuring progressivity are required for the low to middle income taxpayers. The most equitable approach would be to reduce the lowest tax rate to 10 percent for every taxpayer. This is both a viable and an equitable approach. It provides a tax cut to almost every taxpayer, but the tax cut is implemented in a manner that preserves the integrity of the progressive tax scheme.

Download or read book Local Revenue Hills written by Andrew Haughwout and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide estimates of the impact and long-run elasticities of tax base with respect to tax rates for four large U.S. cities: Houston (property taxation), Minneapolis (property taxation), New York City (property, general sales, and income taxation), and Philadelphia (property, gross receipts, and wage taxation). Results suggest that three of our cities are near the peaks of their revenue hills; Minneapolis is the exception. A significant negative effect of a balanced budget increase in city property tax rates on city property tax base is interpreted as a capitalization effect and suggests that marginal increases in tax-financed city spending do not provide positive net benefits to property owners. Estimates of the effects of taxes on city employment levels for New York City and Philadelphia -- the two cities for which employment series are available -- show the local income and wage tax rates have significant negative effects on city employment levels. Cuts in these tax rates are likely to be an economically cost effective way to increase city jobs.

This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The excessive complexity and burden of the Brazilian tax system, riddled by cumulative indirect taxes and heavy payroll contributions, have led to an accumulation of fiscal incentives aimed at reducing its burden on taxpayers and productive activities. Federal and subnational tax expenditures currently stand at over 5 percent of GDP. Rationalizing them can only be comprehensively feasible in the context of a broader sequenced tax reform, and could reduce resource misallocation and income inequality, as well as provide new revenues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education. As the nation enters the 21st century, it faces a major challenge: how best to tie this financial investment to the goal of high levels of achievement for all students. In addition, policymakers want assurance that education dollars are being raised and used in the most efficient and effective possible ways. The book covers such topics as: Legal and legislative efforts to reduce spending and achievement gaps. The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States. It distills the best available knowledge about the fairness and productivity of expenditures on education and assesses options for changing the finance system.
