Abstract

"This book, the product of a multi-year knowledge-exchange effort led by WHO staff, represents the first in-depth global treatment of health taxes as an independent domain of social policy. It discusses the principal health taxes that are, and that are likely to be in future, of interest to policymakers; it explores their effects, both positive and negative; and it outlines how the outcomes of health taxes are influenced by their design as well as by the context in which they are applied. The book describes how and where, and under what conditions, health taxes can be successfully implemented. Finally, the book builds a careful argument showing why it is imperative for policymakers in all branches of government to be aware of health taxes, to understand their rationale, and to be able to formulate and implement them appropriately"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"The papers in this volume reflect David F. Bradford's dual experience as a theoretical economist and as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury for Tax Policy and Director of the Treasury's Office of Tax Analysis. While as the Treasury, Bradford was involved in producing the 1977 report entitled Blueprints for Basic Tax Reform. Blueprints describes two models for fundamental income tax reform. Eventually Bradford became convinced that the politically unpopular consumption-based model was the superior one. Since leaving the Treasury, much of his professional focus has been on economic analysis of the income tax system and on tax policy advocacy." "This book is divided into four parts. Part I covers the broad issues involved in comparing income to consumption as a tax base. Part II, which presents some of the most interesting analytical challenges concerning income and consumption taxes, contains the most technical papers in the collection. Part III addresses the potential deployment of the consumption approach to taxation. Moving in another direction, Part IV focuses on savings and investment, in particular the gap between the statistical evidence of rates of saving and investment and the economic theory that describes this behavior."--Jacket.

The comparative presentation of this volume offers an analysis of policy issues relating to tax structure and tax base as well as insights into how cases arising out of VAT disputes have been resolved. The authors have expanded the coverage to include new VAT related developments in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. A chapter on financial services has been added as well as an analysis of significant new cases.

Abstract

Conventional wisdom dictates that those goods which are said to cause harm or impose costs on society deserve a special tax. For centuries, governments have levied these "sin taxes" on alcohol and tobacco, but the list of taxable sins has now grown to include soda and marijuana, with calls to impose further taxes on plastic bags, meat, and even robots and carbon. Contrary to what experts and policymakers tell us, many of these alleged sins impose very little, if any, cost on society, and the harms that do exist can be minimized without resorting to tax. What follows in this book is a discussion of four case studies—on tobacco, marijuana, alcohol and soda—which make the case against the conventional wisdom in taxing these "sins", before concluding that when it comes to taxing sin, it is time for governments to forgive—and forget. Michael Thom is an Associate Professor in the Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California, USA.
