Download or read book The Timing of Income Recognition in Tax Law and the Time Value of Money written by Moshe Shekel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time itself creates advantages and disadvantages in the field of taxation. The timing of the recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes has two main implications: firstly, for the timing of the collection of tax, and secondly, for the question of quantification, i.e., how to ensure that the difference between the timing of the recognition of income or expenses, as opposed to the respective dates on which the amounts are actually received or paid, does not distort the determination of the amount of chargeable income. The time component is a weapon in the confrontation between the opposing motivations of the taxpayers and the tax authorities. In any given fiscal year, taxpayers seek to present a minimal picture of their chargeable income, by "deferring" the recognition of income or "advancing" the recognition of expenses. As opposed to this, the tax authorities adopt the opposite strategy: maximizing taxable "profit" in any given year. This book critically examines the various approaches that have been adopted in the tax systems in the UK, the US and Israel in relation to the timing of income recognition and expenses for tax purposes. It suggests an innovative tax model that identifies the advantages that arise to the taxpayer as a result of the differences between the timing of the recognition of income and expenses, and the timing of the receipt of the revenue or the payment of a liability, and taxes only that advantage.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Corporation Tax written by John Snape and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excellent technical writing on corporation tax abounds, but it tends to be inaccessible to public lawyers, political theorists and political economists. Although recent years have seen not only an explosion in public law scholarship but also a reawakening of interest in interpretative political theory and political economy, the potential of these perspectives to illuminate the corporation tax debate has remained unexplored. In this important work, John Snape seeks to reconcile these disparate strands of scholarship and to contribute to a new way of understanding and conceptualising the reform of the law relating to corporate taxation. Drawing on important developments in public law scholarship, the study combines elements of political theory and political economy. It advances a new interpretation of corporation tax law as an instrument of rule, through the maximisation of a nation's economic potential. Snape shows how corporate taxation belongs at the centre of any discussion of economic globalisation, not only because of the potential of national tax systems to influence inward investment decisions but also because of the potential of those decisions to shape the public interest that those tax systems might embody. Following public law and politics models, the book looks afresh at the impact of Britain's political institutions, of the processes of its representative government and of the theory that moulds and orders the values that the corporation tax code contains. This is a timely exploration of cutting-edge issues of public policy.

Download or read book Taxation of Derivatives written by Oktavia Weidmann and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploding use of derivatives in the last two decades has created a major challenge for tax authorities, who had to develop appropriate derivatives taxation rules that strike a balance between allowing capital markets to function effectively by removing artificial tax barriers and at the same time protecting their countries' tax base from tax avoidance schemes that utilise these instruments. Derivatives exist in a vast variety and complexity and new forms or combinations of existing forms appear ad hoc as new risk categories emerge and companies seek to invest in or hedge these risks. This very thorough book discusses and analyses taxation issues posed by derivatives used in domestic as well as in cross-border transactions. In great detail the author presents approaches that can be adopted by tax legislators to solve these problems, clarifying her solutions with specific reference to components of the two most important domestic tax systems in relation to derivatives in Europe, those of the United Kingdom and Germany. Examples of derivatives transactions and arbitrage schemes greatly elucidate the nature of derivatives and how they can be effectively taxed. The following aspects of the subject and more are covered: – basic economic concepts in the context of derivatives such as replication, put-call-parity, hedging and leverage; - designing a suitable definition of derivatives in domestic tax law; - achieving coherence in domestic tax rules by applying a 'special regime approach' versus an 'integrative approach' and the distinction of income and capital, equity and debt; - alignment of accounting standards and taxation rules and the application of fair value accounting for tax purposes; - how to tax hedged positions and post-tax hedging schemes; - taxation of structured financial products and hybrid instruments with focus on bifurcation and integration approaches and the recent BEPS discussion drafts on hybrid mismatch arrangements; - refining the 'beneficial ownership' – concept in domestic law and in tax treaties and an analysis of recent case law; - withholding taxes in the context of domestic and cross-border dividend tax arbitrage schemes; and - tackling derivatives tax arbitrage effectively in anti-avoidance legislation. By providing an in-depth analysis of corporate taxation issues that arise in domestic as well as in cross-border derivatives transactions, this book is not only timely but of lasting value in the day-to-day work of tax lawyers and tax professionals in companies, banks and funds, and is sure to be of interest to government officials, academics and researchers involved with financial instruments taxation.

Download or read book Environmental Taxation Law written by John Snape and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theoretical arguments for environmental taxes and other types of economic instruments for environmental protection have been discussed extensively in the literature. Rather less well discussed has been the extremely complex form that such instruments have in fact taken in practice. Environmental Taxation Law: Policy, Contexts and Practice examines the legal implications of introducing environmental taxes and other economic instruments into the regulatory framework of UK law. In doing so, it analyzes and explains the difficulties of grafting environmental taxes onto the complexities of existing regulatory structures, not all of which, of course, were originally devised with environmental considerations in mind. Although the focus of the book is the UK's pioneering implementation of a web of distinct yet interrelated policy measures, it locates the UK's taxes and instruments not simply in their broader context of market and environmental regulation, but also in the contexts of European and international law.

Book excerpt: Have you ever thrown your arms up in despair while trying to fill in an official form and asked yourself "Just what is the point of this?" You are not the only one. Red tape in Britain has reached epidemic proportions. In just 12 months the Government produced a shocking 3621 pieces of legislation, running to a total of 98,600 pages. That is 13 times as long as War and Peace. If it wasn't so serious it would be quite funny. In this volume Ross Clark exposes some of the most petty and bizarre rules and regulations which are blighting the lives of Britons today. Among his discoveries are: - That there are 279 different tax forms for businesses alone, asking a total of 6614 questions - The notes explaining the Treasury's 'simpilified' pensions' regime ran to 1369 pages - One Police force discovered that it had a total of 1150 different forms on which to report crimes - There are 1300 pages of road traffic law - and that does not even include the law preventing petrol stations selling hot food after 11pm unless they apply for a licence - A council spent #5000 planting yew trees to screen a new children's play area. It then dug them up again after health and safety experts advised children could fall ill if they gobbled 'several handfuls' of leaves
