Download or read book What Everyone Needs to Know about Tax written by James Hannam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are paying much more in tax than you think you are What Everyone Needs to Know About Tax takes an entertaining and informative look at the UK tax system in all its glory to show you just how much you pay, how the money is collected and how it affects ordinary people every day. Giving context to recent controversies including the Panama Papers, tax avoidance by multinationals, Brexit and more, this book provides a straightforward explanation of tax and the policy behind it for non-specialists — no accounting or legal knowledge is required. The system's underlying logic is illustrated through three 'golden rules' that explain many of the UK tax regime's oddities, and the discussion focuses on the way things are rather than utopian ideas about how they might be. Case studies show how the VAT on a plumber's bill all adds up; why fraudsters made a movie to throw HMRC off their scent; how a wealthy couple can pay so little tax on a six-figure income; and the way tracing the money you paid for your iPad sheds light why the EU is demanding Apple pay billions extra in tax. Ever the political battlefield, tax is too important for you to rely on media hype for information. It affects everyone, every day, and it pays for voters and taxpayers to know more. This book leaves aside technical detail and the arcana of the tax code to give you a real-world look at how tax works. Learn about the many ways that the tax system separates us from our money Discover how Brexit could change the way we pay taxes Understand how changing tax policy affects people's everyday lives See through the rhetoric surrounding controversies in the media With tax, we have to admit that there are no easy answers. No one enjoys paying them, but without them, the Government would shut down. Seeing through politicians' cant and superficial press coverage is critical for your ability to make the decisions that benefit you; What Everyone Needs to Know About Tax gives you the background and foundational knowledge you need to be a well-informed taxpayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summary of the British Tax System: With Special Reference to Its Administration In the second place, as heretofore stated, the inspectors are given authority to settle tax liability finally, and are judged by their ability to do so satisfactorily. The evidence we secured indicates that the inspector seeks to arrive at a fair result, giving the taxpayer the benefit of any deductions or relief justified by the law, whether the taxpayer has formally claimed them or not. Hence the taxpayer and his professional advisers are willing to lay the facts before the inspector completely, with the reasonable assurance that a sound and equitable decision will be made. Most of the appeals which go to the commissioners and certainly most of those which go to the courts involve unique points of law, indicating that the great mass of ordinary questions of business expenses, depreciation, bad debts, losses, and the like are settled between the inspector and the tax payer, without extended controversy. The inspector cannot go to the books of original entry of the tax payer as a matter of right. In cases of any importance involving business profits, he does request and receives statements of profit and loss and detailed supporting data certified by qualified accountants. These statements are normally relied upon by Inland Revenue Otfi cials, because the accountants take pride in their accuracy, since the standing of the accountant with his profession and the Inland Revenue depends upon the absolute integrity of the accounts he certifies. If such accounts prove unreliable, the inspector notifies the taxpayer that he will not receive further accounts certified by that accountant. It was stated to us that instances of this kind are very rare. Obviously a tremendous amount of time which would otherwise be spent in checking original books of entry and accounts is saved in this way. If a case goes to appeal, either to the general or special commissioners, the commissioners may require the taxs payer to produce his original books and accounts.

Download or read book Taxation A Very Short Introduction written by Stephen Smith and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation is crucial to the functioning of the modern state. Tax revenues pay for public services - roads, the courts, defence, welfare assistance to the poor and elderly, and in many countries much of health care and education too. More than one third of national income in the industrialized (OECD) countries is on average taken in taxation. Taxes affect individuals in many ways. Taxes paid on income and spending directly reduce taxpayer disposable income, taxpayers face the hassle of tax returns and making payments, and they may be anxious about the possibility of investigation and enforcement action. People also adapt their activities in various ways to reduce the impact of taxation - putting money into tax-free savings accounts, or making shopping trips to other countries where taxes are lower. Taxation is therefore central to politics and public debate. Politicians that make reckless campaign promises about taxation then have to live with the uncomfortable consequences if elected. Businesses lobby for tax breaks that they claim will create jobs and prosperity. In this Very Short Introduction Stephen Smith shows how taxes have real effects on citizens and the economy that tax policy-makers have to balance. Although tax policy will always be a highly political issue, he argues that public decisions about taxation would be improved by a better understanding of the role of taxation, and of the nature and effects of different taxes.

Download or read book Just Taxes written by Martin Daunton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1914, taxation was about 10 per cent of GNP; by 1979, taxes had risen to almost half of the total national income, and contributed to the rise of Thatcher. Martin Daunton continues the story begun in Trusting Leviathan, offering an analysis of the politics of acceptance of huge tax rises after the First World War and asks why it did not provoke the same levels of discontent in Britain as it did on the continent. He further questions why acceptance gave way to hostility at the end of this period. Daunton views taxes as the central driving force for equity or efficiency. As such he provides a detailed discussion of their potential in providing revenue for the state, and their use in shaping the social structure and influencing economic growth. Just Taxes places taxation in its proper place, at the centre of modern British history.

Download or read book Taxation and Red Tape written by Francis Chittenden and published by Iea. This book was released on 2010 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successive governments have promised to reduce business red tape, whilst doing nothing about it. In fact, with regard to the tax system, ever-greater numbers of taxes and ever-greater complexity have increased burdens on businesses by turning firms into unpaid tax collectors. Research into the costs of regulation is notoriously difficult. However, this study brings together the best work on the burden of tax compliance and administration and adds important new insights. In particular, this monograph shows the severely regressive nature of the costs of complying with the UK tax system - small firms suffer far more than large firms from the imposition of government bureaucracy related to tax collection. The costs of complying with the tax system are higher in the UK than in many other countries. The authors show that this should not be the case, and propose ways of reducing the burden of tax bureaucracy. These include radical reforms, not just to the administration of the tax system, but also to the nature of the system itself.
Download or read book What Can America Learn from the British Tax System written by William G. Gale and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines elements of British tax policy and discusses their implications for the United States, where several recent proposals would mirror aspects of the British system. These include reducing filing requirements under the individual income tax, indexing capital gains for inflation, cutting mortgage interest deductions, enacting a value-added tax, and integrating the corporate and personal income taxes. The paper also discusses implications of the poll tax for tax reform. Britain and America have made different choices involving equity, efficiency, simplicity, and other goals. These choices offer the chance to help identify the impact of tax policy.
Download or read book The Joy of Tax written by Richard Murphy and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A brief but crucially important book' Marcus Chown In The Joy of Tax, tax campaigner Richard Murphy challenges almost every idea you have about tax. For him, tax is fundamentally about the ideas that shape the sort of society we want to live in, not technicalities. His intention is to demonstrate that there is indeed a joy in tax, and by embracing it we can create a fairer society and change the world for the better. Tax has been a feature of human society for a very long time. Almost no one gives tax a good press even though, as Richard Murphy argues, it has been fundamental to the development of democracy the world over. Whilst we may not like tax very much, in contrast it is clear that we really do like the public services which governments provide. So much so, in fact, that for most of the last 300 years, people have been more than happy for governments to run deficits by spending more than they raise in taxation. 2008 apparently changed all that. The issues of debt, deficits, cuts and austerity have dominated the political agenda ever since. Virtually every aspect of the government's finances and how to rearrange them in the forlorn hope of balancing the books has been discussed in great detail. Despite that, there has been almost no real discussion during this period about what tax is for and how it contributes to the creation of the society we aspire to.
