Book excerpt: The vast bulk of economic activity in the United States is taxed by the federal government. There are exceptions carved out, primarily for charitable operations, including universities. The rationale is that these organizations serve the public good and should not be reduced in magnitude by the deleterious effects of taxes. Universities in particular get a wide range of tax breaks. Contributions to universities are tax deductible. Earnings from endowments in the form of capital gains, dividends, rents, royalties, or interest are non-taxable. Property owned by universities is rarely taxed at the local or state level, and university fees and often even commercial activities are frequently not subject to sales taxes. Customers of universities typically get tax breaks, such as tuition tax credits, or are allowed to create tax sheltered savings accounts to help pay for college. Should federal tax policy towards universities be reviewed and changed? This study is not a comprehensive look at all the issues raised above, but discusses some of the major ones. Special attention is placed on the tax treatment of university endowments, and what are reasonable rules that should be enacted, if any, to assure that monies are expended in a manner consistent with the granting of tax-exempt status. Lesser attention is placed on other issues, such as the use of tuition tax credits.

There are exceptions carved out, primarily for charitable operations, including universities. The rationale is that these organizations serve the public good and should not be reduced in magnitude by the deleterious effects of taxes. Universities in particular get a wide range of tax breaks.

Property owned by universities is rarely taxed at the local or state level, and university fees and often even commercial activities are frequently not subject to sales taxes. Customers of universities typically get tax breaks, such as tuition tax credits, or are allowed to create tax sheltered savings accounts to help pay for college. As university costs have risen, both to student consumers and to society as a whole, people have started to question historic assumptions about university activities. People are asking questions like: Should a person who donates or "buys" a stadium skybox get a tax break for this non-academic expenditure? Should universities be allowed to amass huge endowments from tax free gifts and investment income and then spend only small amounts from the fund, allowing the endowment to rapidly accrue in a tax free fashion? When universities use tax-exempt endowment funds or even annual gifts in a matter different than directed by the donor, should universities be subject to severe criminal or civil penalties for committing fraud? Should federal tax policy towards universities be reviewed and changed? This study focuses on the tax treatment of university endowments, and what are reasonable rules that should be enacted, if any, to assure that monies are expended in a manner consistent with the granting of tax-exempt status.

Book Synopsis Federal Tax Policy and Charitable Giving by : Charles T. Clotfelter
Download or read book Federal Tax Policy and Charitable Giving written by Charles T. Clotfelter and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is distinctive among Western countries in its reliance on nonprofit institutions to perform major social functions. This reliance is rooted in American history and is fostered by federal tax provisions for charitable giving. In this study, Charles T. Clotfelter demonstrates that changes in tax policy—effected through legislation or inflation—can have a significant impact on the level and composition of giving. Clotfelter focuses on empirical analysis of the effects of tax policy on charitable giving in four major areas: individual contributions, volunteering, corporate giving, and charitable bequests. For each area, discussions of economic theory and relevant tax law precede a review of the data and methodology used in econometric studies of charitable giving. In addition, new econometric analyses are presented, as well as empirical data on the effect of taxes on foundations. While taxes are not the most important determinant of contributions, the results of the analyses presented here suggest that charitable deductions, as well as tax rates and other aspects of the tax system, are significant factors in determining the size and distribution of charitable giving. This work is a model for policy-oriented research efforts, but it also supplies a major (and very timely) addition to the evidence that must inform future proposals for tax reform.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Tax Policy by : Alan J. Auerbach
Download or read book The Economics of Tax Policy written by Alan J. Auerbach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Debates about the optimal structure for tax policies and tax rates hardly cease among public, policy, or academic audiences. These have only grown more heated in the United States as the gap between incomes of the wealthiest 1 percent and the rest of the population continue to diverge. Tax research perhaps has not fully kept pace with the relentless demand of various interests to adjust tax policy. Nonetheless, specialists in the economics of tax policy in recent years have profited from advances in economic theory, econometric measurements, and data quality and access that are beginning to allow a greater consensus on what are the real effects of tax policy and how government levies affect individuals and businesses. The volume edited by Professors Auerbach and Smetters represents an attempt to reduce the lag between the conduct of research on tax issues and its transmission to a broader public. The contributions would explore highly topical issues such as the effects of income tax changes on economic growth, the potential effects of capping certain tax expenditures, the economics of adjusted business tax policy, and environmental tax options. Other essays would investigate perennially important themes such as the conduct of tax administration, the growing role of the tax system on education policy, tax policy toward low-income families, capital gains and estate taxation, and tax policy for retirement savings. A final paper would examine three different options for fundamental tax reform"--

Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exposé of racism in the American taxation system from a law professor and expert on tax policy NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND FORTUNE • “Important reading for those who want to understand how inequality is built into the bedrock of American society, and what a more equitable future might look like.”—Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist Dorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she’d seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why. In The Whiteness of Wealth, Brown draws on decades of cross-disciplinary research to show that tax law isn’t as color-blind as she’d once believed. She takes us into her adopted city of Atlanta, introducing us to families across the economic spectrum whose stories demonstrate how American tax law rewards the preferences and practices of white people while pushing black people further behind. From attending college to getting married to buying a home, black Americans find themselves at a financial disadvantage compared to their white peers. The results are an ever-increasing wealth gap and more black families shut out of the American dream. Solving the problem will require a wholesale rethinking of America’s tax code. But it will also require both black and white Americans to make different choices. This urgent, actionable book points the way forward.
Book Synopsis A General Equilibrium Model for Tax Policy Evaluation by : Charles L. Ballard
Download or read book A General Equilibrium Model for Tax Policy Evaluation written by Charles L. Ballard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports the authors' research on one of the most sophisticated general equilibrium models designed for tax policy analysis. Significantly disaggregated and incorporating the complete array of federal, state, and local taxes, the model represents the U.S. economy and tax system in a large computer package. The authors consider modifications of the tax system, including those being raised in current policy debates, such as consumption-based taxes and integration of the corporate and personal income tax systems. A counterfactual economy associated with each of these alternatives is generated, and the possible outcomes are compared.
