Christian, Jr. and Cliff Massa III Much has been said and written about consumption taxes in the United States, but mostly in a theoretical context. Dozens of schol arly treatises have been published, along with innumerable papers and speeches most of which were more argumentative than illumi nating in nature. Audiences have sat through uncounted confer ences on the merits or evils of consumption taxes, depending on the speakers' perspectives. There have been only three comprehensive legislative proposals to which these theories and arguments could be 1 applied, no one of which was acted upon in the Congress. Purveyors of conventional wisdom have suggested that this theo retical context might be replaced within a year or two by actual con sideration of a federal-level consumption tax. Some see enactment of such a tax as a desirable -- or at least a necessary -- means for reducing the federal deficit. The National Economic Commission, which was created by legislation in 1987 to recommend deficit reduction measures, was perceived by many skeptics and proponents alike to be the Trojan Horse which would carry a consumption tax Lrhe proposals were H. R. 7015, ''The Tax Restructuring Act of 1980," introduced by Rep. Al Ullman; S. 1102, ''The Business Transfer Tax Act of 1985," introduced by Senator William Roth; and H. R. 4598, introduced by Rep.

Download or read book A Value added Tax VAT and the Federal Income Tax Reform written by Sok Bom Kim and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main question that my dissertation poses is whether or not a value-added tax (VAT) can work to positively reform the current federal income tax for individuals. Seeking a way to reform the current federal tax system, plagued by complexity, inefficiency, and unfairness, should begin with an observation of the fundamental ideas of income tax and consumption tax. A good reform idea must have strengths from each. A federal VAT, as a reform plan for the current federal tax structure, may work well to simplify the tax code and help reduce tax evasion, provided that the VAT is properly drafted. Furthermore, concerns about a federal VAT's propensity to collect more revenue and its regressive nature are often overstated. However, the major obstacle to the adoption of a federal VAT may be state and local tax structures that would offset most profits arising from such a VAT. Thus, a coordination of the federal and state tax systems would be an essential prerequisite to any federal tax reform plan that includes a VAT.

Book excerpt: Dissatisfaction with the fed. tax system has led to a debate about U.S. tax reform, incl. proposals for a nat. consumption tax. One type of proposed consumption tax is a value-added tax (VAT). A VAT is levied on the difference between a bus. sales and its purchases of goods and services. Typically, a bus. calculates the tax due on its sales, subtracts a credit for taxes paid on its purchases, and remits the difference to the gov¿t. This report describes: (1) how VAT design choices, such as exemptions and enforcement mechanisms, have affected compliance, admin. costs, and compliance burden; (2) how countries with fed. systems administer a VAT; and (3) how countries that recently transitioned to a VAT implemented the new tax.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors observe that consumption taxation is superior to income taxation because it does not penalize saving and investment and propose that the U.S. income tax system be completely replaced by a progressive consumption tax. They argue that the X tax, developed by the late David Bradford, offers the best form of progressive consumption taxation for the United States and outline concrete proposals for the X tax's treatment of numerous specific economic issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reform of the United States tax system has become a central political issue. Assessing Tax Reform is a concise, nontechnical book to help general readers and students understand the tax reform issues Congress is now debating. Henry Aaron and Harvey Galper lay out the major alternative proposals and analyze principles of taxation that can be used for judging them. They explore the issues surrounding a move to a comprehensive income tax, a cash-flow tax, and the value-added tax or other consumption-based taxes. They show the conflicts and opportunities resulting from large current government deficits and the move for tax reform. In addition to clarifying the problems that must be solved if large-scale, long-term reform is to be achieved, the authors describe alternative strategies for increasing revenues quickly. They also present their own program for a fair, efficient, and less complex tax structure. They conclude with an examination of the political pitfalls that continue to make any major improvements in the tax system hard to enact.

Book excerpt: "The U.S. tax code is a total write-off. Crammed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one except tax lawyers, accountants, and huge corporations. Not for the first time, we have reached a breaking point -- in fact, we reach one every thirty-two years. T.R. Reid crisscrosses the globe in search of exact solutions to the urgent tax problems of the United States. With an uncanny knack for making a complex subject not just accessible but gripping, he investigates what makes good taxation (no, that's not an oxymoron) and brings that knowledge home where it is needed most. Reid presses the case for sensible root-and-branch reforms that will affect everyone. Doing our taxes will never be America's favorite pastime, but it can and should be so much easier and fairer"--Adapted from the book jacket.
