Many developing countries find this requirement hard to abide by, with Zambia nearly discarding its VAT as a result. This chapter asks and answers four questions. One, should developing countries with a VAT consider an alternative broad-based consumption tax that does not require refunds? Two, what policy options can be recommended to decrease VAT refund claims? Three, what administrative options can improve developing countries’ VAT refund practices? And four, why should developing countries prioritize the prompt payment of VAT refunds? I conclude that it is possible and in the best interest of developing countries to pay VAT refunds promptly.","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133676138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, the State of Oregon established 86 Opportunity Zones (OZs) at the direction of Governor Kate Brown (Business Oregon 2020). This article examines the rollout of Opportunity Zones in Oregon and what policymakers can learn from its implementation. It looks at how well Opportunity Zones are understood in Oregon by local governments and economic development agencies, and how local governments, local economic development agencies, and the private sector are using and marketing OZs. To assess these questions, we surveyed individuals in the public sector in areas with Opportunity Zones across the state to assess these actions. To supplement the survey, we conducted interviews with private sector actors and shadowed developers in the Portland area to assess their engagement with Opportunity Zones. We used the policy tools and networked implementation literatures as a theoretical foundation. We conclude that Oregon lacks a hierarchal system to implement OZs, so the network has to take a more substantial role in implementation. Opportunity Zones are a clear example of third-party implementation; as the government funds economic development activity through tax expenditures, the private sector is taking the leading role in implementing these projects.","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127393373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rethinking the RRSP's Benefits 重新思考RRSP的好处

It has existed for so many decades that professionals feel certain they know everything there is to know about the account. Its rules and mechanics are well known not only by professionals but also by the public.This article presents an analysis of the RRSP’s net benefit that contradicts the received wisdom. It provides the math proof and conceptual model supporting a claim that the RRSP's net benefit comes from five separate and independent factors that add together. 1. Profits are never taxed. Not while in the account and not on withdrawal. 2. A bonus (or penalty) comes from lower (or higher) tax rates on withdrawal. Both are possibilities. 3. The loss (gain) of benefits from other income-tested programs in retirement (when young). 4. A growing penalty from any delay in claiming the contribution’s tax deduction. 5. Profits earned by the withdrawal tax not paid on Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) draws. In contrast, the commonly believed benefits and conceptual model are shown to be contradictory and fail to explain outcomes.","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116756581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, lack of awareness of a benefit reduces moral hazard, decreasing deadweight loss. I incorporate these trade-offs into a model of mandated benefits and apply the model to Temporary Disability Insurance, an employment benefit mandated in five states. First, I provide evidence on low awareness of this benefit using data collected through an original survey. Then I use the updated mandated benefits model to show that over a broad range of reasonable assumptions, the additional employee valuation of the benefit outweighs the additional program cost from moral hazard, and thus a public information campaign would increase employment.","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130257961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It first demonstrates that differential capital tax, based on capital’s effect on skill premiums, is desirable even in the steady state, while nonlinear capital tax is not desirable under an additively separable utility function. It then explores both uniform and sector-specific capital income tax (UCIT and SCIT), with a sector corresponding to a type of laborer. Numerical application to U.S. taxation delivers an inverted U-shaped relationship between the SCIT rate and sectoral wage. The optimal SCIT rate on the top-income sectors increases with the elasticity of substitution between the sectoral products and amounts to a net return tax of 45.9 % . Reform from UCIT to SCIT compresses wage gaps between the top ten percent and others considerably. It especially favors the median-income individuals whose wages are increased as high as 3.8 % . Due to production inefficiency, switching from UCIT to SCIT implies small welfare gains ( 0.07 % ~ 0.22 % in consumption-equivalent terms).","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115474574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Case for a Sustainable Excess Profits Tax 可持续征收超额利得税的理由

It makes more sense to locate the source of the profits derived from such behaviours and tax them in order to internalize the environmental costs that are currently externalized to current and future societies. Since profit extracted by externalizing environmental risks constitutes economic rent, it could be taxed at high rates without creating inefficiencies. We propose a method for doing so in the form of a “sustainable excess profits tax”—a SEP tax. The tax base of a SEP tax can be constructed by using life cycle analysis methods to identify the portion of corporate profit that is attributable to the externalized environmental costs of production and distribution at all stages of supply chains. We establish the core elements of a SEP tax, demonstrate its theoretical justification, and examine its practical feasibility.","PeriodicalId":431495,"journal":{"name":"Public Economics: Taxation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131738842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
