Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenue is the lifeline of any economy. It is the lifeblood that flows through a nation's financial system, promoting expansion across the different industries that define the state of the Nation. Kenya's economic growth and source of revenue are both heavily dependent on taxation. The Kenyan government derives revenue from many taxes, including excise taxes, value added taxes, income taxes, customs duties, and other levies. The government organization in charge of tax administration and collection in Kenya is the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The tax system in Kenya faces many difficulties that negatively affect revenue collection. Kenya has been implementing tax reform to increase the amount of tax revenue collected. Kenya's fiscal structures show that, despite reforms, government spending and revenue have remained constant, with expenditure constantly exceeding revenues. Large fiscal deficits caused by the disparity between revenues and expenses have forced Kenya to borrow money from abroad on an ongoing basis. To this end, this article provides broader perspectives on taxation in Kenya, establishes the challenges facing Kenya's tax system, tax reforms that Kenya has adopted both administrative and policy reforms and the future of taxation in Kenya. It shall further lay out a conclusion and recommendations on the same.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever rising economic and financial needs of Kenya and the budget constraints that constantly exist threaten the sustainability and growth of the Kenyan economy. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that affected, both positively and negatively, revenue collection in Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) in Nairobi County. More specifically, it examined the effects of the Political Situation on Revenue Collection, the effects of Policies put in place by the incumbent policymakers and the effects of the KRA Support Systems on Revenue Collection. A descriptive research design was adopted as it addressed the research questions through empirical assessment involving numerical measurement and statistical analysis. The target population was taxpayers that fell under the bracket of large taxpayers. Although there were 675 taxpayers under this description, a sample of these was taken for the purpose of the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 252 taxpayers. The empirical study was conducted in businesses across 12 different sectors within Nairobi County between January 2014 and March 2014. Data analysis was done using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). First, data was collected, cleaned, sorted and collated. Descriptive statistics and measures of association were used to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. This was followed by analysis using inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation to examine the relationship between revenue collection and political stability. The analytical results revealed that the prevailing political situation did in-fact affect business operations, security of the people, as well availability and distribution of resources and as a result, tax collection and administration of tax laws. It also revealed that the policies in place at a specific point in time did affect the revenue collection for the jurisdiction. The research argues that the KRA support system which comprised of among others, Information Technology Systems, Human Resources and Stakeholders all played a significant role in the process of Revenue Collection in KRA.

Book Synopsis Case Studies in Tax Revenue Mobilization in Low-Income Countries by : Mr.Bernardin Akitoby
Download or read book Case Studies in Tax Revenue Mobilization in Low-Income Countries written by Mr.Bernardin Akitoby and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can Low-Income Countries (LICs) enhance tax revenue collection to finance their vast development needs? We address this question by analyzing seven tax reform experiences in LICs (Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Maldives, Mauritania, Rwanda, Senegal, and Uganda). Three lessons stand out, although reforms must be tailored to individual circumstances: (i) Tax reforms require first and foremost political commitment and buy-in from key stakeholders; (ii) Countries that pursue both revenue administration and tax policy reforms tend to see much larger and persistent gains; and (iii) A successful strategy often starts with fiscal reform measures with immediate effect to build momentum. These can include: simplifying the tax system; curbing exemptions; reforming indirect taxes on goods and services (e.g., excises); and better managing compliance risks through strengthening taxpayer segmentation (often beginning with strengthening the Large Taxpayers Office). A comprehensive reform strategy (e.g., a medium-term revenue strategy) can help to properly sequence reform measures and facilitate their implementation.
Book Synopsis Brazil: Tax Expenditure Rationalization Within Broader Tax Reform by : Maria Delgado Coelho
Download or read book Brazil: Tax Expenditure Rationalization Within Broader Tax Reform written by Maria Delgado Coelho and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The excessive complexity and burden of the Brazilian tax system, riddled by cumulative indirect taxes and heavy payroll contributions, have led to an accumulation of fiscal incentives aimed at reducing its burden on taxpayers and productive activities. Federal and subnational tax expenditures currently stand at over 5 percent of GDP. Rationalizing them can only be comprehensively feasible in the context of a broader sequenced tax reform, and could reduce resource misallocation and income inequality, as well as provide new revenues.
Book Synopsis Taxing Immovable Property Revenue Potential and Implementation Challenges by : Mr.John Norregaard
Download or read book Taxing Immovable Property Revenue Potential and Implementation Challenges written by Mr.John Norregaard and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tax on immovable property has been characterized as probably the most unpopular among tax instruments, in part because it is salient and hard to avoid. But economists continue to emphasize the virtues of the property tax owing to its relatively low efficieny costs, benign impact on growth, and high score on fairness. It is, therefore, generally considered to be underutilized in most countries. This paper takes stock of the arguments for using real property taxation, and presents an updated data-set for high-and middle income countries to illustrate its use. It also reflects the renewed and widespread interest in property tax reform globally, and discusses the many policy and administrative issues that must be carefully considered as prerequisites for successful property tax reform.

Book Synopsis Natural Resource Taxation in Mexico: Some Considerations by : Ms. Alpa Shah
Download or read book Natural Resource Taxation in Mexico: Some Considerations written by Ms. Alpa Shah and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico has large extractive industries and it traditionally has raised sizable fiscal revenues from the oil and gas sector. A confluence of factors—elevated commodity prices, financial challenges of the state-owned oil company Pemex, and revenue needs for financing social and public investment spending over the medium term—suggest that a review of Mexico’s taxation regimes for natural resources would be opportune, against the backdrop of a comprehensive approach to tackling Mexico’s challenges. This paper identifies opportunities for redesigning mining taxation to increase somewhat the revenue intake while maintaining the favorable investment profile of the sector. It also discusses recent reforms to the oil and gas fiscal regime and future reform considerations, with attention to the attractiveness of investment on commercial terms—an issue that should be placed in the context of an overall reform of Pemex’s business strategy and possibly of the energy sector more generally.

Book Synopsis Assessing the Theory and Practice of Land Value Taxation by : Richard F. Dye
Download or read book Assessing the Theory and Practice of Land Value Taxation written by Richard F. Dye and published by Lincoln Inst of Land Policy. This book was released on 2010 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land value tax is the focus of this Policy Focus Report, Assessing the Theory and Practice of Land Value Taxation. A concept dating back to Henry George, the land value tax is a variant of the property tax that imposes a higher tax rate on land than on improvements, or taxes only the land value. Many other types of changes in property tax policy, such as assessment freezes or limitations, have undesirable side effects, including unequal treatment of similarly situated taxpayers and distortion of economic incentives. The land value tax can enhance both the fairness and the efficiency of property tax collection, with few undesirable effects; land is effectively in fixed supply, so an increase in the tax rate on land value will raise revenue without distorting the incentives for owners to invest in and use their land. A land value tax has also been seen as a way to combat urban sprawl by encouraging density and infill development. Authors Richard F. Dye and Richard W. England examine the experience of those who have implemented the land value tax -- more than 30 countries around the world, and in the United States, several municipalities dating back to 1913, when the Pennsylvania legislature permitted Pittsburgh and Scranton to tax land values at a higher rate than building values. A 1951 statute gave smaller Pennsylvania cities the same option to enact a two-rate property tax, a variation of the land value tax. About 15 communities currently use this type of tax program, while others tried and rescinded it. Hawaii also has experience with two-rate taxation, and Virginia and Connecticut have authorized municipalities to choose a two-rate property tax. The land value tax has been subjected to studies comparing jurisdictions with and without it, and to legal challenges. A land value tax also raises administrative issues, particularly in the area of property tax assessments. Land value taxation is an attractive alternative to the traditional property tax, especially to much more problematic types of property tax measures such as assessment limitations, the authors conclude. A land value tax is best implemented if local officials use best assessing practices to keep land and improvement values up to date; phase in dual tax rates over several years; and include a tax credit feature in those communities where land-rich but income-poor citizens might suffer from land value taxation.
