Book Synopsis Estimating the Base of the Value-Added Tax (VAT) in Developing Countries by : Mr.George A. Mackenzie
Download or read book Estimating the Base of the Value-Added Tax (VAT) in Developing Countries written by Mr.George A. Mackenzie and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries with VATs typically exempt a large number of goods and services. Following a brief discussion of the rationale for exemptions, this paper presents a formula for the base of a VAT with exemptions. Two basic adjustments must be made to the base without exemptions: subtraction of the value of sales to consumers of exempt industries and addition of intermediate sales of taxable inputs to exempt industries. The paper concludes with a derivation of the elasticity of a VAT with exemptions with respect to aggregate consumption and a discussion of the implications of technological change for the VAT base.

Book Synopsis Estimating Value-Added Tax Using a Supply and Use Framework by : Asian Development Bank
Download or read book Estimating Value-Added Tax Using a Supply and Use Framework written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value-added tax (VAT) generates significant government revenue in many countries and given their broad coverage, VAT measurements are useful indicators for economic and fiscal analyses. This publication presents the Asian Development Bank’s National Accounts Statistics Value-Added Tax model, which is designed to provide a more consistent measure of non-recoverable VAT on products for national account statistics. Highlighting application results in Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, it explains how the model can be used in balancing and reconciling supply and use tables as well as to assess VAT gaps. The publication shows that the model is relatively simple to apply and its consistency with the supply and use system makes it an attractive tool for policymakers.
Book Synopsis Determinants of Value-Added Tax Revenue by : eljko Bogeti?
Download or read book Determinants of Value-Added Tax Revenue written by eljko Bogeti? and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1993 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical analysis of value- added tax revenues on a sample of 34 countries conforms with conventional wisdom from theoretical and case studies. The key implication is that for value- added tax to provide superior revenues, it should be levied in a single rate on as broad a base as possible. And tax administration and enforcement must be tough to ensure compliance.

Book Synopsis Problems of Administering a Value-Added Tax in Developing Countries by : Ms.Milka Casanegra de Jantscher
Download or read book Problems of Administering a Value-Added Tax in Developing Countries written by Ms.Milka Casanegra de Jantscher and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1986-12-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s and 1980s, many developing countries enacted value-added taxes (VATs) as a part of their fiscal structures. The productivity of this source of revenue has depended in large part on the facility with which the tax can be administered. Single rate VATs have proved easier to administer than those with multiple rates. Exemptions and zero-rating tend to complicate administration. Because small taxpayers are so numerous in developing countries and administrative resources so limited, the treatment of small taxpayers has required special attention. The difficulty of taxing services has led most developing countries to omit all but a few services from the tax base. Administrative constraints are the main reason why the VAT that prevails in developing countries is usually very different from the broad-based and neutral tax discussed in public finance treatises.

Book Synopsis The Value Added Tax and Growth: Design Matters by : Mr.Santiago Acosta Ormaechea
Download or read book The Value Added Tax and Growth: Design Matters written by Mr.Santiago Acosta Ormaechea and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the design of a tax matter for growth? Assembling a novel dataset for 30 OECD countries over the 1970-2016 period, this paper examines whether the value added tax (VAT) may have different effects on long-run growth depending on whether it is raised through the standard rate or through C-efficiency (a measure of the departure of the VAT from a perfectly enforced tax levied at a single rate on all consumption). Our key findings are twofold. First, for a given total tax revenue, a rise in the VAT, financed by a fall in income taxes, promotes growth only when the VAT is raised through C-efficiency. Second, for a given VAT revenue, a rise in Cefficiency, offset by a fall in the standard rate, also promotes growth. The implication is thus that in OECD countries broadening the VAT base through fewer reduced rates and exemptions is more conducive to higher long-run growth than a rise in the standard rate.
Book Synopsis Equivalence of the Production and Consumption Methods of Calcuting the Value-Added Tax Base by : Mr.Anthony J. Pellechio
Download or read book Equivalence of the Production and Consumption Methods of Calcuting the Value-Added Tax Base written by Mr.Anthony J. Pellechio and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two methods of calculating the value-added tax (VAT) base, using production and consumption data, respectively, have been applied in different countries to estimate VAT revenue. It is not apparent that these methods should produce the same result for a particular country because each method requires different adjustments for exemptions. This paper establishes analytically the equivalence of the two methods. Both methods are applied to Zambia. Given the limitations of data, the two methods produce different results, yielding an estimated range for VAT revenue of 2-3 percent of GDP in 1995. Actual VAT revenue collected fell within this range.
Book Synopsis The Value-Added Tax by : Ben Lockwood
Download or read book The Value-Added Tax written by Ben Lockwood and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the VAT proved, as its proponents claim, an especially effective form of taxation? To address this, this paper first shows that a tax innovation-such as the introduction of a VAT- reduces the marginal cost of public funds if and only if it also leads an optimizing government to increase the tax ratio. This leads to the estimation, on a large panel, of a system of equations describing the probability of VAT adoption and the revenue impact of the VAT. The sign of the revenue impact is generally ambiguous, but most countries that have adopted a VAT seem to have gained a more effective tax instrument in doing so.
Book Synopsis Estimating VAT Pass Through by : Ms.Dora Benedek
Download or read book Estimating VAT Pass Through written by Ms.Dora Benedek and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the pass through of VAT changes to consumer prices, using a unique dataset providing disaggregated, monthly data on prices and VAT rates for 17 Eurozone countries over 1999-2013. Pass through is much less than full on average, and differs markedly across types of VAT change. For changes in the standard rate, for instance, final pass through is about 100 percent; for reduced rates it is significantly less, at around 30 percent; and for reclassifications it is essentially zero. We also find: differing dynamics of pass through for durables and non-durables; no significant difference in pass through between rate increases and decreases; signs of non-monotonicity in the relationship between pass through and the breadth of the consumption base affected; and indications of significant anticipation effects together with some evidence of lagged effects in the two years around reform. The results are robust against endogeneity and attenuation bias.
Book Synopsis Structural Transformation and Tax Efficiency by : Mr.Serhan Cevik
Download or read book Structural Transformation and Tax Efficiency written by Mr.Serhan Cevik and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural transformation has resulted in an increasing share of services in aggregate value-added in advanced and developing countries across the world. We analyze the impact of this shift into services on countries’ efficiency in collecting the value-added tax (VAT). The analysis is based on two alternative measures of VAT efficiency: (1) the VAT C-efficiency, using a broad panel of 134 countries over the period 1970-2014; and (2) the VAT gap using a more granular, proprietary dataset that draws on the results of IMF’s Revenue Administraion-Gap Analysis Program covering 24 countries over the period 2004-2016. We find that a higher share of services in aggregate value-added reduces the VAT efficiency, and that this adverse effect is mainly a result of a rise of non-tradable services, which in turn contributes to a narrowing of the VAT base.

Book Synopsis Value Added Tax by : James M. Bickley
Download or read book Value Added Tax written by James M. Bickley and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feasibility of levying a value-added tax (VAT) to reduce large forecast budget deficits seems to never go away. A VAT is imposed at all levels of production on the differences between firms' sales and their purchases from all other firms. A VAT is assumed to be fully shifted forward to consumers; hence, a VAT is a type of general consumption tax. The United States, does not have a broad-based, national level consumption tax and in general, relies less on consumption taxes. This book examines the concepts, issues and experiences of the value-added tax in other countries.
