Book excerpt: In this new book, ten eminent authors explain why and how Australia's system of personal income tax needs reforming.The total tax take in Australia is around the OECD average, but tax on people's incomes is well above average. High income taxes undermine national prosperity. The top rate is out of line with most other western countries, which have been moving to lower and flatter rates. Because the threshold at which people start to pay tax is well below subsistence, people are taxed before they have earned enough to keep body and soul together. The interaction of tax and welfare creates dispiritingly high 'effective marginal tax rates' which deter people on welfare from looking for work and penalize low-wage families whenever they try to increase their take-home pay.The system is riddled with distortions and disincentive effects. There are so many special allowances, exemptions, credits, offsets and write-offs that tax law has become almost indecipherable, and gross amounts of money and time get spent trying to reduce liability to tax. Most really-high earners are paying a lower rate of tax than workers earning little more than average income. Retirement savings are viciously taxed, and because tax brackets are not indexed to inflation, the total tax-take increases year by year without anybody even realizing it. Outside of the federal government there is a mounting demand that something radical needs to be done to tackle these problems.This book looks at the options and demonstrates that the case for radical reform is now unanswerable.The Contributors:Peter Burn - National Senior Adviser, Australian Industry Group Lauchlan Chipman - Professor Emeritus, University of Wollongong and Central Queensland University Sinclair Davidson - Associate Professor, RMIT University Terry Dwyer - Consultant and Visiting Fellow, Australian National University John Humphreys - Independent Policy Analyst Barry Maley - Senior Fellow, Centre for Independent Studies Andrew Norton - Research Fellow, Centre for Independent Studies Alex Robson - Lecturer in Economics, Australian National University Peter Saunders - Social Research Director, Centre for Independent Studies Geoffrey de Q Walker - Professor Emeritus, University of Queensland, Barrister-at-law
Book Synopsis Taxploitation and Complicity by : Juri Viehoff
Download or read book Taxploitation and Complicity written by Juri Viehoff and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article investigates the moral issues surrounding 'taxploitation', a term which I coin for behaviour short of tax evasion insofar as it is within the letter of the law, but nonetheless clearly morally objectionable insofar as it contradicts the law's spirit and is incompatible with a fair distribution of social burdens. Drawing on work in law and economics concerned with the problem of opportunism, I identify a distinctive challenge that liberal commitments to the rule of law and personal privacy pose for effectively enforcing obligations to make fair tax contributions. For good economic reasons tax burdens are responsive to the purposes for which actors make their financial decisions. But a liberal state is properly reluctant to second-guess an actor's claim about the purposes for which they are acting, and to delve too deeply into the personal financial choices of private individuals or bodies at least until there is evidence of wrongdoing. These constraints on state action in turn open the door to opportunistic decision-making by taxpayers. But, I show, while the moral limits on state action do indeed bar states from directly addressing the problem, they do not stand in the way of an indirect, but potentially equally powerful, solution: to focus, not directly on the actions of taxpayers, but instead on the behavior of the global tax planning industry that is complicit in taxploitation and whose regulation does not give rise to similar moral objections.

The fourth edition has been extensively revised and reorganized throughout, including a new introduction that offers an overview of key themes and shorter chapters that cover a wider range of topics.

Download or read book New Class Society written by Robert Perrucci and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how class-based resources and interests embedded in large organizations are linked to powerful structures and processes which in turn are rapidly polarizing the U.S. into a highly unequal, 'double diamond' class structure. The authors show how and why American class membership in the 21st century is based on an organizationally-based distribution of critical resources including income, investment capital, credentialed skills verified by elite schools, and social connections to organizational leaders.
Book Synopsis The New Class Society by : Robert Perrucci
Download or read book The New Class Society written by Robert Perrucci and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensively revised, the second edition of The New Class Society includes innovative new sections and concepts throughout the book that identify and explore how complex organizational structures and actions create and perpetuate class, gender, and racial inequalities. The authors describe how 'inequality scripts' shape the hiring and promotion practices of organizations in ways that provide differential opportunities to people based on class, gender, and racial memberships. The authors also illustrate how privileged class members benefit from organizationally-based and perpetuated forms of inequality. The second edition retains its provocative argument for of an emerging 'double-diamond' social structure and its focus on class interests that are rapidly polarizing American society. New figures, tables, and references incorporate the latest information and research findings to document and illustrate key topics, such as the distribution of wealth and income, globalization, downsizing, contingent labor, the role of money in politics, media content and consolidation, the transformation of education, and the erosion of democracy. The second edition combines scholarship with an engaging style and flashes of comic relief-with several cartoons by some of the best satirists today. The book, accessibly written for undergraduate students, has been widely adopted in courses on stratification, economic sociology, and American society.
Book Synopsis Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union by : Umut Turksen
Download or read book Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union written by Umut Turksen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. EU member states lose hundreds of billions of euros to tax evasion every year. Tax crimes have a significant impact on the functioning of national and international economies and on the global financial system. Not only do they affect the actors involved and the state that has been deprived of tax revenues, but the citizens of those states suffer too. Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union presents the findings of the EU-funded PROTAX project. Chapters written by leading experts discuss EU and national legal measures and institutional practices to counter anti-money laundering, corruption, organised crime, and tax evasion. Human factors and their role in countering tax crimes are also considered as well as whistleblower protection legislation which gives readers a rounded view of current practices within the EU. This book provides a timely and valuable comparative study of the legal and institutional background of the prosecution of tax crimes, as well as an analysis of legal measures and institutional practices to combat tax crimes on national and EU levels. It also contributes to the development of an advanced European Security Model for understanding human factors in countering tax crimes. It equips policy makers and law enforcement agencies with the dynamic toolkit they need to improve their understanding of tax crimes in the EU and provides solutions for preventing, detecting, and investigating tax crimes.

Book Synopsis Trying to Get Over by : Keith Corson
Download or read book Trying to Get Over written by Keith Corson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1972 to 1976, Hollywood made an unprecedented number of films targeted at black audiences. But following this era known as “blaxploitation,” the momentum suddenly reversed for black filmmakers, and a large void separates the end of blaxploitation from the black film explosion that followed the arrival of Spike Lee’s She's Gotta Have It in 1986. Illuminating an overlooked era in African American film history, Trying to Get Over is the first in-depth study of black directors working during the decade between 1977 and 1986. Keith Corson provides a fresh definition of blaxploitation, lays out a concrete reason for its end, and explains the major gap in African American representation during the years that followed. He focuses primarily on the work of eight directors—Michael Schultz, Sidney Poitier, Jamaa Fanaka, Fred Williamson, Gilbert Moses, Stan Lathan, Richard Pryor, and Prince—who were the only black directors making commercially distributed films in the decade following the blaxploitation cycle. Using the careers of each director and the twenty-four films they produced during this time to tell a larger story about Hollywood and the shifting dialogue about race, power, and access, Corson shows how these directors are a key part of the continuum of African American cinema and how they have shaped popular culture over the past quarter century.
Book Synopsis Nepal’S Enduring Poverty by : Sukhdev Shah
Download or read book Nepal’S Enduring Poverty written by Sukhdev Shah and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory of economic growth has made remarkable progress over the past three decades that has helped give us a better understanding of factors that induce or inhibit growth. In practice, though, a majority of countries have failed to increase growth and improve living conditions. The elixir that has been absent from traditional growth theories is the role of an enabling environment that is needed to induce and support growth. This book--a case study of Nepals poverty--presents the view that non-economic factors play an outsized role in determining the productive use of economic resources which is critical to spur growth, to a much greater extent that the level of resources a country commands. The theme developed in this book is that a countrys institutional weaknesses create a hostile environment for economic growth to occur and be sustained. Institutional handicaps exercise powerful constraints on the efficiency of use of resources and creation of wealth. This happens because institutions are rooted in a countrys history, its culture, emotions, and even in national psychology.
