Download or read book The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act An Appraisal written by Mr.Nigel A Chalk and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the landmark Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), from the perspective of both the U.S. itself and the wider world. The reform has many positive aspects including steps to broaden the base of, and reduce marginal rates under, the personal income tax (PIT), reduce distortions to investment and financing decisions, and mitigate outward profit shifting. But the TCJA has a large fiscal price tag and leaves significant uncertainty as to how the U.S. tax system will develop. The PIT changes could have better targeted relief at low earners, and there is scope to more fully address distortions in business taxation. The novel international provisions create a complex array of both positive and negative international spillovers, and have the potential to significantly reshape the wider international tax system.

Download or read book U S Investment Since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 written by Emanuel Kopp and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no consensus on how strongly the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has stimulated U.S. private fixed investment. Some argue that the business tax provisions spurred investment by cutting the cost of capital. Others see the TCJA primarily as a windfall for shareholders. We find that U.S. business investment since 2017 has grown strongly compared to pre-TCJA forecasts and that the overriding factor driving it has been the strength of expected aggregate demand. Investment has, so far, fallen short of predictions based on the postwar relation with tax cuts. Model simulations and firm-level data suggest that much of this weaker response reflects a lower sensitivity of investment to tax policy changes in the current environment of greater corporate market power. Economic policy uncertainty in 2018 played a relatively small role in dampening investment growth.
Download or read book Essays on Taxation written by Rasoul Ramezani and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation includes three essays investigating the effect of taxation and tax policies on income inequality, housing values, and excess burden from homeownership, separately. Chapter 2 estimates the degree to which subnational governments can redistribute post-tax income. State and local governments attempt to reduce income inequality via progressive taxation. However, interstate mobility could undermine such attempts through gross-wage adjustments. The higher the degree of wage capitalization, the lower the ability of income redistribution. Chapter 3 uses proprietary data from the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) to estimate the degree of property-tax capitalization. Local governments search for ways to increase the amount of revenue raised from different sources. One of their primary sources of tax revenue is taxes levied on residential properties. The question Chapter 3 attempts to answer is whether it is homeowners or homebuyers who ultimately pay property taxes. The greater the degree of capitalization, the greater the share of tax borne by homeowners. Chapter 4 evaluates the effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 on excess burden from owner-occupied housing. Under US tax law, homeowners can reduce their housing user costs by deducting the mortgage interest and state and local property taxes from their federal taxable income. This, however, imposes an excess burden on society by distorting the housing market’s equilibrium.
Download or read book Tax Spillovers from US Corporate Income Tax Reform written by Sebastian Beer and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes, and where possible tentatively quantifies, likely tax spillovers from the U.S. corporate income tax reform that was part of the broader 2017 tax reform. It calculates effective tax rates under various assumptions, showing among other findings, how the interest limitation and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income provision can raise or reduce rates. It tentatively estimates that under constant policies elsewhere, the rate cut will reduce tax revenue from multinationals in other countries by on average 1.6 to 5.2 percent. If other countries react in line with historical reaction functions, the revenue loss from multinationals rises to an average of 4.5 to 13.5 percent. The paper also discusses profit-shifting, real location, and policy reactions from the more complex features of the reform.

Download or read book Corporate Income Taxes under Pressure written by Ruud A. de Mooij and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the difficulties of the current international corporate income tax system. It starts by describing its origins and how changes, such as the development of multinational enterprises and digitalization have created fundamental problems, not foreseen at its inception. These include tax competition—as governments try to attract tax bases through low tax rates or incentives, and profit shifting, as companies avoid tax by reporting profits in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. The book then discusses solutions, including both evolutionary changes to the current system and fundamental reform options. It covers both reform efforts already under way, for example under the Inclusive Framework at the OECD, and potential radical reform ideas developed by academics.

Download or read book United States 2021 Article IV Consultation Press Release Staff Report and Statement by the Executive Director for the United States written by International Monetary and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new administration’s policies have put the U.S. economy on a strong footing. An effective vaccine rollout has put the number of new COVID-19 cases on a firmly downward path. At the same time, unprecedented fiscal support is quickly restoring the economy back to full employment and generating positive outward spillovers to the world economy. These efforts have not been costless: the path for public debt is far higher; the current account deficit has grown; and very accommodative financial conditions have led to increased corporate and nonbank leverage and rising valuations across a range of assets. The pandemic continues to weigh heavily on those at the lower end of the income distribution, exposing longstanding inequities in access to quality healthcare and education (many of which have an important gender and racial dimension).
