Book Synopsis Effect of Corruption on Tax Revenues in the Middle East by : Patrick A. Imam
Download or read book Effect of Corruption on Tax Revenues in the Middle East written by Patrick A. Imam and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study estimates the impact of corruption on the revenue-generating capacity of different tax categories in the Middle East. We find that the low revenue collection as a share of GDP there compared to other middle-income regions is due in part to corruption, and certain taxes are more affected than others. Taxes that require frequent interaction between the tax authority and individuals, such as taxes on international trade, seem to be more affected by corruption than most other types of taxation. This suggests that if governments need to raise more tax revenues in a way that minimizes distortions and maximizes social welfare, they should implement reforms that either reduce corruption or raise revenues from tax categories that are less susceptible to corruption. Possible reforms of the revenue system and administration are examined.
Book Synopsis Fair Taxation in the Middle East and North Africa by : Mario Mansour
Download or read book Fair Taxation in the Middle East and North Africa written by Mario Mansour and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairness – and what governments can do about it – is at the forefront of economic and social debate all over the world. In MENA, this has been at the core of recent political transitions but has not been adequately addressed. This SDN explores how tax systems – a critical interface between the state and citizens – can play a role in meeting demands for greater economic fairness in MENA countries. The SDN finds that for countries with well-established non-hydrocarbon tax systems (mostly oil importers) reforms should focus on simplifying tax structures and introducing more progressivity of personal income taxes, broadening tax bases, and better designing and enforcing property taxes. Tax administration should be more efficient and user-friendly while simplifying tax regimes will reduce the scope for arbitrary implementation. MENA countries with less established non-hydrocarbon revenue systems can begin with a “starter pack” that includes introduction of low-rate value-added and corporate income taxes, excises, and property taxes while building up administrative capacity and taxation expertise together with plans for introducing a personal income tax. Across the region, effective communication, transparency, and constructive dialogue between the State and citizens are critical to the success of reforms.
Book Synopsis Corruption, Taxes and Compliance by : Ms.Anja Baum
Download or read book Corruption, Taxes and Compliance written by Ms.Anja Baum and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper revisits the effects of corruption on the state’s capacity to raise revenue, building on the existing empirical literature using new and more disaggregated data. We use a comprehensive dataset for 147 countries spanning 1995-2014, compiled by the IMF. It finds that—consistent with the existing literature—corruption is negatively associated with overall tax revenue, and most of its components. This relationship is predominantly influenced by the way corruption interacts with tax compliance. The establishment of large taxpayer offices improves tax compliance by dampening the perception of corruption, thereby boosting revenue.

Book Synopsis TAX REFORM AND INFLATIONARY EPISODE by : Chan Sok Gee
Download or read book TAX REFORM AND INFLATIONARY EPISODE written by Chan Sok Gee and published by IIUM PRESS. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic crisis lead to higher borrowings and fiscal deficits. To overcome the situation, new tax policies or tax reform are vital as one of the fiscal policy objectives is to reduce the budget deficits. Nevertheless, tax reforms are likely to affect the cost of production, which results in inflation, leading to the change in consumption pattern in the economy. This situation will therefore, worsen the current economic situation. Thus, this book in a nutshell, looks into the role of tax reform in influencing the societal well-being from the perspective of inflationary episode. This book used Malaysia as a case study in investigating the tax reform and inflationary episode given the relatively recent tax reform that had taken place in 2015 with the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and its subsequent abolishment in 2018. when the elected Pakatan Harapan government reverted to the Sales and Services Tax (SST) or known as SST 2.0. Hence, it is vital for the people to understand the role of tax reform in affecting the inflationary episode in Malaysia so that everyone can contribute towards minimizing its adverse impacts.
Book Synopsis Does Corruption Affect Income Inequality and Poverty? by : Mr.Sanjeev Gupta
Download or read book Does Corruption Affect Income Inequality and Poverty? written by Mr.Sanjeev Gupta and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper demonstrates that high and rising corruption increases income inequality and poverty by reducing economic growth, the progressivity of the tax system, the level and effectiveness of social spending, and the formation of human capital, and by perpetuating an unequal distribution of asset ownership and unequal access to education. These findings hold for countries with different growth experiences, at different stages of development, and using various indices of corruption. An important implication of these results is that policies that reduce corruption will also lower income inequality and poverty.

Book Synopsis The Middle East Economies in Times of Transition by : Ahmed Galal
Download or read book The Middle East Economies in Times of Transition written by Ahmed Galal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diwan and Galal looks at the structure and prospects of the Middle East economies after the 2011 Uprisings, focusing on issues of economic growth, inequality, the impact of oil, and the unfolding political transitions. On the growth question, the book looks into the extent of structural transformation of the economy, the political economy reasons for the lack of structural change, and the external conditions in the EU and in the GCC that underpin the lack of structural change. On inequality, the book offers new measures of equality of opportunity in human development and in the job market, and it also reviews the complex political economy of subsidy removal. Regarding natural resources, the volume provides three innovations: connecting the notion of 'oil curse' to the global phenomena of asset bubbles; evidence that resource curse effects do not rise monotonically with the size of the resource rent, but rather, according to an inverted U shape; and an extension of the concept of rent to the other non-oil rents that are also predominant in the region. Finally, the volume places the political transition in the region in a global perspective using various methods – theoretical, comparative, and empirical, and it explores the relationship between democracy in its variety of forms and economic development.
Book Synopsis Economic Performance in the Middle East and North Africa by : Serdar Sayan
Download or read book Economic Performance in the Middle East and North Africa written by Serdar Sayan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are in dire need of substantial institutional reform to improve their growth performance so as to create enough jobs for millions of entrants into their respective job markets, and to fight poverty and income inequality. This is necessary not only to reduce the risk of social unrest and domestic/regional conflicts, but also to assure stability of energy supply to the rest of the world and to hamper the violence originating from the region. So, the region's convergence to global standards of governance quality is desirable for increased prosperity and stability both in the region and outside. This volume contributes to the recently burgeoning political economy literature on institutions by putting together well-written chapters that empirically study the relationship between economic performance and institutional characteristics in MENA economies to point out some of the areas where institutional reform is particularly needed and possible tools to use for such reform. Perhaps one common lesson that can be derived from all chapters in the volume is that the both the region itself and the global economy will benefit from a MENA region that is better integrated to the rest.
