101. The Australian: Editorial: Tax Reform Is What The Nation Needs [May 15, 2004]
     Editorial tax reform is what the nation needs May 15, 2004 Genuine tax reform would aim to cut the top marginal tax rate to no higher than 30 per cent.  
     http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,9563610^7583,00.ht
     
     Extractions: And to top it all off, Mr Costello says the budget is in surplus. But spending such enormous amounts is easier than it looks when the hard work of Australian taxpayers ensures government effortlessly collects ever more tax. Mr Costello's tax cuts come to a bit over $4billion a year - which is close to the hidden tax increase bracket creep delivers the Government. In February, The Australian commissioned modelling by the Melbourne Institute which demonstrated that by next year the Government will owe taxpayers $3.8 billion in bracket creep, the silent tax grab that occurs as inflation and wage rises push taxpayers into higher tax brackets. Mr Costello is generously returning with one hand what he has taken with the other. Without real reform, in a few years the government of the day will be able to copy Mr Costello and magically appear to cut taxes while increasing spending. Genuine reform to provide all Australians with sharper incentives to work, save and invest in their own education requires a fair dinkum effort to cut the overall size of government. And both sides of politics know it. The budget papers commit the Howard Government to no increase in the overall tax burden from the 1996 level. That is, the conservatives promise to conserve the size of government bequeathed to them by Labor. In his budget reply speech on Thursday night, Labor leader Mark Latham promised to reduce commonwealth expenditure and taxation as a proportion of GDP. That's an admirable break from Labor's post-Keating orthodoxy. But Mr Latham also is promising loads of new government spending and we are yet to be convinced he would be able to axe as well as tax.

     Extractions: Tax Reform's Third Rail: Mortgage Interest In mid-1995, the politically powerful National Association of Realtors launched an attack against the flat tax. Its in-house newsletter even declared, "It's War!"1 The association is battling to save the mortgage interest deduction, a feature of the tax code that has been in place since the inception of the income tax in 1913 and one that would be abolished along with all other deductions by a pure flat tax. The deduction has long been considered the untouchable third rail of tax reform. However, a close look at a flat-rate tax suggests that, on balance, homeowners would gain more from it than they would lose. The Realtors entered the fray armed with a traditional Washington weapon: a study. Their study was done by DRI/McGraw-Hill, a private economic consulting firm. It concluded that enacting a flat-rate income tax such as that proposed by Congressman Dick Armey and others would cause home prices to fall by 15 percent, wiping out $1.7 trillion of homeowners' equity.2 DRI claimed that a flat income tax would cause housing prices to collapse, primarily because it would eliminate the mortgage interest deduction and increase the aftertax price of housing. Underlying that claim is the theory that being able to deduct mortgage interest increases the value of a home relative to the other goods bought on time, such as a car, and that this tax saving is reflected in the price of a house. If this were true, withdrawing the mortgage interest deduction would reduce housing values.

Its aim should be to strengthen our economy and ensure that our community has the services and infrastructure it needs. COTA would not wish to see the tax reform process used by political parties to favour particular constituencies. This is more likely to result in social divisions and thwart the tax reform process. A reformed tax system would need to meet the classic requirements of equity, efficiency and simplicity. It should operate: to ensure that those with the greatest resources make the greatest contribution: the aim should be a highly progressive tax system

City Council approved a budget/tax reform compromise just hours after Council failed to override the Mayor's veto of the Council-approved budget as well as significant tax reform legislation to dramatically reduce the Wage Tax, eliminate the Business Privilege Tax, and reform business taxes to equalize treatments of corporations and partnerships. The budget/tax reform compromise reduces the short-term impact of tax reform on the city's Five-Year Plan by eliminating the measure to equalize treatments of corporations and partnerships, by eliminating the Business Privliege Tax by 2017 (instead of 2015) and by reducing the Wage Tax to 3.25% by 2015 (instead of 2014). Make no mistake, there is still more to do beyond this compromise, but these measures represent significant progress toward tax reform and we owe a debt of gratitude to the Council members who have supported tax reform and who have worked so hard to earn the support of their colleagues in this effort. There are now 11 members of City Council voting for tax reform, which is one vote away from the 12 we would need to make tax reform veto-proof (assuming the Mayor does not approve this compromise). So now, we are ONE VOTE AWAY FROM SIGNIFICANT TAX REFORM!

     Extractions: Q: Why then has Washington, D.C., gone from talk of surpluses to deficits, with federal revenue charts looking like mountain ranges, with erratic peaks and valleys? A: Because the economy drives the budget, not the other way around. Picture GDP as a pie. Eighteen percent of a huge pie is considerably more than 18 percent of a small pie. Therefore a larger and more robust economy will result in more federal revenue. Q: What policies would create a more robust economy? A: Lower tax rates create better economic conditions. It’s simple: lower tax rates = more robust economy = more federal revenue. Tax relief will boost the economy's performance. To energize a soft economy, lawmakers should seek far larger reductions in the tax penalties that are imposed on productive behavior. The higher the rate, the steeper the penalty.

     http://www.heritage.org/Research/Taxes/BG1055.cfm
     
     Extractions: Introduction Tax reform is gaining momentum. Lawmakers from both parties are proposing sweeping changes in the income tax system, such as the Armey-Shelby flat tax (the most widely known of the proposed reforms), a national sales tax, the Nunn-Domenici USA tax, the Gephardt 10 percent tax, and a value-added tax.1 Almost every Republican presidential candidate endorses some form of radical tax reform, and House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (R-KS) asked former Congressman and housing secretary Jack Kemp to chair a commission to recommend how best to reform the tax code. Each of the tax reform proposals assumes that the existing income tax system is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed without a complete overhaul. But they achieve this in significantly different ways. The question is, which approach would be best for taxpayers and the economy? Taxpayers and the Economy Armey/Shelby flat tax A Specter flat tax A- Value-added tax* B+ National sales tax* B Nunn-Domenici USA tax C+ Gephardt 10 percent tax C *Grade contingent on permanent repeal of the current federal income tax When evaluated based on nine different criteria, including the degree to which they lower tax rates, simplify the system, address the bias against savings and investment, and treat taxpayers fairly, the plans based on the flat tax model developed by Stanford University Professor Robert Hall and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Alvin Rabushka score highest.2 Direct consumption taxes also fare well, but proposals that more closely resemble the current system are graded the lowest.

The Tax Reform Study Group is working on a more comprehensive comment letter to submit to the tax writing committees at a later date. Background on the Tax Reform Study Group The Tax Reform Study Group was formed in October 1995 and consists of individuals from business, state and local government, and academia who are interested in studying the proposals for reform of the federal and state tax systems and tax reform in general and the impact to Silicon Valley. Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network Drafting: Factors Relevant to State and Local Governments That Must Be Included in The Federal Tax Reform Debate State and local taxes are intertwined with federal taxes in a number of ways and it would not be possible for effective federal tax reform to occur without consideration of state and local tax implications. For example, one of the key goals touted for reform of the federal tax system is simplification. However, because most state income tax systems have some basis in the federal income tax structure, if states do not or cannot conform to federal changes, the goal of simplification will not be obtained for most taxpayers. This and other concerns that we believe must be included in the federal tax reform debate are listed and briefly explained below.

     http://www.proaxis.com/~randau2/taxes/argument.htm
     
     Extractions: by randau, Jun.1998 Almost everyone agrees our tax system is too complicated, too fragmented, too time consuming, unfairly administered, unevenly enforced, and wide open to the influence of vested special interests. It got this way because there aren't sufficient constraints (if any) on how tax revenues shall be levied. The absurdity of our tax system evolved over many decades of influence from the many vested special interests and can only get worse as long as that influence is present. Even if the tax system is improved by some of the changes proposed by our politicians, it will degenerate again so long as the influence by vested special interest remains. We need a straight forward and just form of taxation that's not distorted by socio-economic engineering in the guise of fairness, morality or social justice. That is, one that has no exemptions, deductions, credits, or other forms of tax discrimination. It's in the pretense of lofty goals that socio-economic engineering through tax discrimination opens the system to excessive influence from vested special interests that corrupt the system and generally do more harm than good. If we permitted politicians to have control only over the amount (rate) of taxation, but not the way taxes are imposed (the method), and the method of taxation effected everyone in the same way, there'd be no way for special interests to benefit from manipulation of tax regulations.

     Extractions: Dale Gray The taxation of oil and gas production and consumption has become an important fiscal issue in most countries of the former Soviet Union. How can these countries modify the taxation of their energy sectors to increase fiscal revenues, improve efficiency, and encourage foreign investment? Large oil and gas reserves The existing petroleum reserve base in former Soviet Union countries is very large and could support significantly higher production and exports. Russia has one-fourth of the world's proven gas reserves and is the world's largest producer of natural gas. Turkmenistan has the sixth-largest gas reserves in the world. Russia has an estimated one-seventh (6.7 billion tons) of the world's proven oil reserves outside the Middle East, which is comparable to the oil reserves of Mexico. It is the world's third-largest oil producer, with an output of 300 million tons in 1996. Production has fallen 45 percent, however, since the peak year of 1988. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan each has oil reserves about one-sixth those of Russia. Oil production in these two countries could double or triple once oil export pipelines are built from the Caspian Sea fields.

     http://www.cato.org/events/020213pf.html
     
     Extractions: Listen to the Event in Real Audio (Audio Only) The World Trade Organization recently ruled that a $4 billion tax break designed to help U.S. exporters compete in foreign markets is an illegal export subsidy. The WTO sided with the European Union against the legality of the U.S. Extraterritorial Income Exclusion Act (ETI), which Congress enacted in 2000, after prior WTO rulings against U.S. Foreign Sales Corporation tax rules. The United States could respond by simply eliminating the tax break, but that would impose a $4 billion tax hike on American exporting companies. Or the United States could ignore the WTO ruling, but that could provoke EU trade sanctions. A third option would be to repeal the ETI tax provisions as part of a broader corporate tax reform that would include lowering the high U.S. corporate tax rate and adopting a "territorial" tax system. Four experts discuss policy options and implications.

The incorporation of a proposal of this kind in the EU white paper on environment and employment added credibility to the tax shift idea. View the report as PDF-file
