Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the elasticity of corporate taxable income with respect to the corporate income tax rate using French administrative data. "Recent years have seen the growing importance of corporate taxation in the public debate. In France for example, in order to converge towards the average statutory tax rate in the Eurozone, the government has decided to reduce it from 33.33% in 2017 to 28% in 2020. While some argue that corporate taxes should be higher, many consider that the tax burden falling on firms is too high and is damaging for the economy. The underlying argument is that high corporate tax rates are disincentive for firms, and therefore by lowering tax rates, more activity could be generated. A clear illustration of this process is the downward trend in corporate tax rates over last decades. In a context of international tax competition, corporate tax design is one of the main concerns for government. " [source : introduction].

Book Synopsis Taxing Corporate Income in the 21st Century by : Alan J. Auerbach
Download or read book Taxing Corporate Income in the 21st Century written by Alan J. Auerbach and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in 2007. Most countries levy taxes on corporations, but the impact - and therefore the wisdom - of such taxes is highly controversial among economists. Does the burden of these taxes fall on wealthy shareowners, or is it passed along to those who work for, or buy the products of, corporations? Can a country with high corporate taxes remain competitive in the global economy? This book features research by leading economists and accountants that sheds light on these and related questions, including how taxes affect corporate dividend policy, stock market value, avoidance, and evasion. The studies promise to inform both future tax policy and regulatory policy, especially in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission that are having profound effects on the market for tax planning and auditing in the wake of the well-publicized accounting scandals in Enron and WorldCom.
Book Synopsis The Elasticity of Corporate Taxable Income in Cities and Remote Locations by : Matthias Krapf
Download or read book The Elasticity of Corporate Taxable Income in Cities and Remote Locations written by Matthias Krapf and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on panel variation across Swiss municipalities and cantons, we show that the elasticity of corporate taxable income is large in remote, non-central locations and zero in cities. In the full panel, we find that an increase in a jurisdiction's corporate net-of-tax rate by 1% results in an increase in aggregate corporate income by around 3.5%. This effect becomes small and insignificant if we weight by initial tax base, which is large in cities, indicating that the overall tax base is inelastic. We explore margins of firms' responsiveness, revenue effects and implications for regional policy.
Book Synopsis Are Elasticities of Taxable Income Rising? by : Mr.Alexander D Klemm
Download or read book Are Elasticities of Taxable Income Rising? written by Mr.Alexander D Klemm and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses a possible explanation for the global downward trend in top personal income tax rates over the last decades: globalization and the related tax evasion and avoidance opportunities could have raised elasticities of taxable income, which would imply lower optimal tax rates. The paper estimates elasticities of taxable income for top income earners using a large sample of economies and years with a common method, allowing an analysis of trends in such elasticities. The paper finds that elasticities do not appear to exhibit any clear pattern over the years. The downward trend in tax rates must have other possible explanations, which are briefly discussed.
Book Synopsis The Tax Elasticity of Corporate Debt by : Ruud A. de Mooij
Download or read book The Tax Elasticity of Corporate Debt written by Ruud A. de Mooij and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the empirical literature has long struggled to identify the impact of taxes on corporate financial structure, a recent boom in studies offers ample support for the debt bias of taxation. Yet, studies differ considerably in effect size and reveal an equally large variety in methodologies and specifications. This paper sheds light on this variation and assesses the systematic impact on the size of the effects. We find that, typically, a one percentage point higher tax rate increases the debt-asset ratio by between 0.17 and 0.28. Responses are increasing over time, which suggests that debt bias distortions have become more important.

Book Synopsis Japan’s Corporate Income Tax by : Ruud A. de Mooij
Download or read book Japan’s Corporate Income Tax written by Ruud A. de Mooij and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores how corporate income tax reform can help Japan increase investment and boost potential growth. Using international and Japan-specific empirical estimates of corporate tax elasticities, investment is predicted to expand by around 0.4 percent for each point of rate reduction. International consensus estimates suggest further that between 10 and 30 percent of the static revenue loss could be recovered in the long run through dynamic scoring, although Japan’s offset may be closer to the lower bound. Compensating fiscal measures are necessary in light of Japan’s tight fiscal constraints. The scope for base broadening in the corporate income tax is found to be limited and some forms of base broadening will undo positive investment effects of a rate cut. Alternative revenue sources include higher consumption and property taxes. A gradual approach toward lowering tax rates mitigates windfall gains and reduces short-run revenue costs. An incremental allowance-for-corporate-equity system could boost investment with limited fiscal costs in the short run.
Book Synopsis Corporate Tax Reform: From Income to Cash Flow Taxes by : Benjamin Carton
Download or read book Corporate Tax Reform: From Income to Cash Flow Taxes written by Benjamin Carton and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses a multi-region, forward-looking, DSGE model to estimate the macroeconomic impact of a tax reform that replaces a corporate income tax (CIT) with a destination-based cash-flow tax (DBCFT). Two key channels are at play. The first channel is the shift from an income tax to a cash-flow tax. This channel induces the corporate sector to invest more, boosting long-run potential output, GDP and consumption, but crowding out consumption in the short run as households save to build up the capital stock. The second channel is the shift from a taxable base that comprises domestic and foreign revenues, to one where only domestic revenues enter. This leads to an appreciation of the currency to offset the competitiveness boost afforded by the tax and maintain domestic investment-saving equilibrium. The paper demonstrates that spillover effects from the tax reform are positive in the long run as other countries’ exports benefit from additional investment in the country undertaking the reform and other countries’ domestic demand benefits from improved terms of trade. The paper also shows that there are substantial benefits when all countries undertake the reform. Finally, the paper demonstrates that in the presence of financial frictions, corporate debt declines under the tax reform as firms are no longer able to deduct interest expenses from their profits. In this case, the tax shifting results in an increase in the corporate risk premia, a near-term decline in output, and a smaller long-run increase in GDP.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines two problems in the estimation of the elasticity of taxable income. The first arises from the need to deal with endogeneity arising from the fact that the marginal tax rate and taxable income are jointly determined in a multi-tax structure.The approach taken in many empirical studies has been to use instrumental variable estimation. In contrast, the approach proposed in the present paper is to use ordinary least squares using proxy variables. It is shown that more robust, plausible results can be obtained using this approach. Secondly, the paper considers a potential role for income effects. One approach previously adopted has involved the addition of a term involving the proportional change in the net-of-tax average rate in addition to the change in the marginal net-of-tax rate. It is shown that the derivation of this specification, starting from the Slutsky equation, involves an invalid assumption (that virtual income can be neglected) at a crucial step. Nevertheless, for the New Zealand case, correction for this assumption leads to empirical results which also support the finding that income effects are negligible and statistically insignificant. In addition, the simpler specification can be derived more easily from a direct utility function. Following Kleven and Schultz (2014), income effects a real so examined by introducing a term involving the proportional change in virtual income. Estimates reported here show a very small negative, but significant, coefficicient on this variable when a proxy based on the expected tax rate is used, but an egligible and insignificant coefficient when a proxy based on an unchanged taxable income is used"--Page 1.

Book Synopsis The Incidence and Efficiency Costs of Corporate Taxation when Corporate and Noncorporate Firms Produce the Same Good by : Jane G. Gravelle

This book was released on 1987 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Arnold Harberger's celebrated model of the corporation income tax. While the model has been enormously useful as an analytical device for studying two sector economies, its usefulness for understanding the incidence and excess burden of the corporate income tax remains in question. One difficulty confronting all empirical analyses of the Harberger Model is how to treat noncorporate production in primarily corporate sectors and corporate production in primarily noncorporate sectors. The Harberger Model provides no real guide to this question since it assumes that one good is produced only by corporations and the other good is produced only by noncorporate firms. Stated differently, Harberger models the differential taxation of capital used in the production of different goods, rather than the taxation of capital used by corporations per se. This paper presents a two good model with corporate and noncorporate production of both goods. The incidence of the corporate tax in our Mutual Production Model (MPM) can differ markedly from that in the Harberger model. A hallmark of Harberger's corporate tax incidence formula is its dependence on differences across sectors in elasticities of substitution between capital and labor. In contrast, the incidence of the corporate tax in the MPM may fall 100 percent on capital regardless of sector differences in substitution elasticities. The difference between the two models in the deadweight loss from corporate taxation is also striking. Using the Harberger - Shoven data and assuming unitary substitution and demand elasticities, the deadweight loss is over ten times larger in the CES version of the MPM than in the Harberger Model. Part of the explanation for this difference is that in the Harberger Model only the difference in the average corporate tax in the two sectors is distortionary, while the entire tax is distortionary in the MPM. A second reason for the larger excess burden in the MPM is that the MPM has a very large, indeed infinite, substitution elasticity in demand between corporate and noncorporate goods; in contrast, applications of the Harberger Model assume this elasticity is quite small.
Download or read book Does Atlas Shrug? written by Joel Slemrod and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of the income tax in 1913, controversy has raged about how heavily to tax the rich. Opponents of high tax rates claim that heavy assessments have negative incentives on the productivity of some of our most talented citizens; supporters stress the importance of the rich shouldering their "fair share," and decry the loopholes that permit many to escape their obligations. Notably absent from this debate is hard evidence about the actual impact of taxes on the behavior of the affluent. This book presents evidence by leading economists of the effects of taxes on the formation of businesses, the supply of labor, the form of executive compensation, the accumulation of wealth, the allocation of portfolios, and the realization of capital gains. Among its findings are that the labor supply of the rich remained unchanged in the face of large tax cuts in 1986, and that in late 1992 executives exercised billions of dollars' worth of stock options in order to beat the tax increases expected in 1993. The book also presents a history of efforts to tax the rich, a demographic snapshot of the financially affluent, and a road map to widely used tax-avoidance strategies. Does Atlas Shrug? will be of great interest to policymakers and interested citizens who want to know how much tax revenue could really be gained by increasing tax rates on the rich, or whether low capital gains tax rates really spur economic growth.
Book Synopsis The Economic Effects of Taxing Capital Income by : Jane Gravelle
Download or read book The Economic Effects of Taxing Capital Income written by Jane Gravelle and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should capital income be taxed to achieve efficiency and equity? In this detailed study, tax policy analyst Jane Gravelle, brings together comprehensive estimates of effective tax rates on a wide variety of capital by type, industry, legal form, method of financing, and across time. These estimates are combined with a history and survey of issues regarding capital income taxation that are aimed especially at bringing the findings of economic theory and recent empirical research to nonspecialists and policymakers. Many of the topics treated have been the subject of policy debate and legislation over the last ten or fifteen years.Should capital income be taxed at all? And, if capital income is to be taxed, what is the best way to do it? Gravelle devotes two chapters to the first question, and then, in answer to the second question, covers a broad range of topics - corporate taxation, tax neutrality, capital gains taxes, tax treatment of retirement savings, and capital income taxation and international competitiveness. Gravelle also includes a comprehensive history of tax institutions and data on constructing effective tax rates that are not available elsewhere.
