Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of administrative factors in tax reform. How difficult is it for taxpayers to comply with and understand the current tax system? How much does operating the system cost? How well are taxes enforced? How would modifying the income tax or starting over with a new system affect the answers? The answers to these questions, and the trade-offs and interactions between simplicity and other policy goals are crucial elements of tax policy choices. We show that there are significant disagreements concerning the operating costs and complexity of the current income tax system and that outdated, incomplete, and poorly conceived data on compliance costs contribute to the range of estimates. Based on the available data, we find that the current system imposes compliance and administrative costs of between $75 billion and $130 billion per year on individuals, businesses, and the federal government. We discuss several ways to improve the administration of the existing tax system and reduce compliance costs. We also show that pure versions of the national retail sales tax and the flat tax could dramatically reduce filing burdens for millions of taxpayers. However, realistic, politically plausible versions of both the sales tax and the flat tax would require tax rates much higher than those advertised by their proponents. These higher rates complicate tax compliance and enforcement. The sales tax would face potentially serious problems with enforceability and political pressure for exemptions. The flat tax would face the same political pressures, and while enforceability is not a major concern, the tax would likely become significantly more complex than currently proposed. Thus, there is considerable potential to simplify the tax system. Policy makers and voters should analyze this potential in the context of the trade-offs it creates with other goals of tax policy-including efficiency, fairness, revenue, and privacy.
Book Synopsis The Role of Administrative Factors in Tax Reform by : William G. Gale
Download or read book The Role of Administrative Factors in Tax Reform written by William G. Gale and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of complexity, evasion, and administration in tax reform. We describe the features of tax systems that generate complexity and evasion and explore why, even though almost everyone agrees that taxes should be simple and perfectly enforced, no tax system appears to meet those standards. We describe structural and administrative changes that could significantly simplify the existing system. We show that a national retail sales tax would prove difficult, if not impossible, to administer because of high rates, tax evasion, and political pressure to exempt certain goods. The flat tax would be administrable, but would likely become significantly more complex than proposed due to political pressure to restore popular tax subsidies and reduce tax avoidance. Although it commands widespread support and is technically feasible, substantial tax simplification will prove difficult to achieve in the existing system or a new one.
Book Synopsis Designing a Tax Administration Reform Strategy by : Ms.Katherine Baer
Download or read book Designing a Tax Administration Reform Strategy written by Ms.Katherine Baer and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on previous FAD work in the tax administration field, this paper defines broad criteria for diagnosing the problems in a country’s tax administration and formulating an appropriate reform strategy. To be effective, this strategy should be based on the size of the tax gap and the country’s particular circumstances. This paper discusses some guiding principles which have provided the basis for successful reforms, including: reducing the tax system’s complexity, encouraging taxpayers’ voluntary compliance, differentiating the treatment of taxpayers by their revenue potential, and ensuring the reform’s effective management. Also discussed are specific bottlenecks that hinder the effectiveness of the tax administration’s operations.

It also identifes emerging challenges to the tax system and areas where further tax administration improvements are needed to sustain tax revenue and reduce taxpayers’ compliance costs in the future.
Book Synopsis The Ecology of Tax Systems by : Vito Tanzi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book analyzes how the ecology of taxation is fundamental for the success or failure of tax systems. It specifically focuses on the role of the ecological environment on taxation; the factors that determine the ecology of taxation; and how the ecology of taxation has changed and may continue to evolve. The implicit, important conclusion is that there are no permanent or universal optimal tax theories: all theories are related to this ecology.

This book was released on 1987-06-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of tax administration in developing countries from an economic perspective. The traditional separation of tax policy and tax administration in the literature is shown to break down in developing countries, where tax administrators decide in what manner complicated tax legislation should actually be applied.

Book Synopsis United States Tax Reform in the 21st Century by : George R. Zodrow

This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax reform debates in the United States have focused on the question of whether the existing corporate and individual income tax system should be replaced with some form of a national consumption tax. This book contains essays written by internationally recognized tax experts who describe the current state in economic thinking on the issue of whether fundamental tax reform is preferable to continued incremental reform of the existing income tax. The papers were originally commissioned by the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, Houston. The collection covers a range of tax policy issues related to consumption tax reforms, including their economic effects, distributional consequences, effects on administrative and compliance costs, transitional issues and the political aspects of fundamental tax reform, and international comparisons. The book will serve as a comprehensive guide to the ongoing tax reform debate to tax policy makers and the general electorate.
Book Synopsis Use of Technology in Tax Administrations 1 by : Ms.Margaret Cotton

This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note is the first of three addressing information technology (IT) themes and issues relevant to tax administrations. This note focuses on the use of technology in tax administrations and how to develop an information technology strategic plan (ITSP). It is intended for tax administrations that are largely manual or have outdated legacy IT systems. The second note addresses how to select an IT system for core tax administrations functions. And the third note covers implementation of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) system. These technical notes are primarily for use by tax administrations that have no technology to manage their core tax processes, or their technology is limited and outdated. These notes focus on core tax functions and do not address other business systems (e.g., payroll, finance, document, and asset management systems).

Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States. It distills the best available knowledge about the fairness and productivity of expenditures on education and assesses options for changing the finance system.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Tax Reform by : Takatoshi Ito
Download or read book The Political Economy of Tax Reform written by Takatoshi Ito and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid emergence of East Asia as an important geopolitical-economic entity has been one of the most visible and striking changes in the international economy in recent years. With that emergence has come an increased need for understanding the problems of interdependence. As a step toward meeting this need, the National Bureau of Economic Research joined with the Korea Development Institute to sponsor this volume, which focuses on the complexities of tax reform in a global economy. Experts from Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Japan, and Thailand, as well as the United States, Canada, and Israel examine the major tax programs of the 1980s and their domestic and international economic effects. The analyses reveal similarities between the United States and countries in East Asia in political constraints on policy making, and taken together they show how growing interdependence interacts with domestic economic and political concerns to affect issues as politically vital as tax reform. Economists, policymakers, and members of the business community will benefit from these studies.

Book Synopsis Tax Morale What Drives People and Businesses to Pay Tax? by : OECD
Download or read book Tax Morale What Drives People and Businesses to Pay Tax? written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking what drives tax morale – the intrinsic willingness to pay tax – can greatly assist governments in the design of tax policies and their administration, particularly in developing countries where compliance rates are low. This report builds on previous OECD research to identify some of the key socio-economic and institutional drivers of tax morale across developing countries, and seeks to test for evidence of the social contract by examining the impact of public services on tax morale. It also uses new data on tax certainty as an entry point to explore tax morale in businesses, where existing research is very limited. Finally, the report identifies a range of factors related to the tax system that may affect business decision making, how they vary across regions, and suggests some areas for future research. Overall, the report provides a range of suggestions for further work, and how tax morale considerations can be integrated into holistic tax compliance strategies.
