On the revenue side, the degree to which federal taxation absorbs shocks at the state level cannot be very large for the simple reason that the main source of federal revenues that does react to the business cycle, the federal income tax, accounts for less than 10 of GDP.

Smart Taxation

Federal support to low income families had risen from 5.6 billion in 2001 2002 to 5.7 billion in 2002 2003.

True, in the US, as in most existing federal states, the federal budget redistributes income across regions, thus offsetting at least part of the interregional differences in income. But, while this has been repeatedly documented in many cases, the inference that redistribution is equivalent to a shock absorber is wrong.

Well, yes and no. An optimist (or an apologist) could argue that, though market income has indeed become grossly more unequal since 1979, with the slots in the bottom half of the income distribution losing absolute ground in real income, and with taxation becoming less progressive, welfare state growth substantially moderated this increase in inequality.

Given that recent research shows that much of the burden of corporate taxation is borne by workers in the form of lower wages, Democrats should embrace tax reform as a way to support income growth. One could add to such a reform further support for low income Americans by increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit for single workers.

High taxation supports comprehensive national health care, education, pensions, and other social services, resulting in low levels of poverty and a relatively narrow income gap between the richest and poorest households. In the US, the poorest 20 of households receive just 5 of total income, putting their income at around one fourth of the national average.

Federal income taxes as a proportion of income increase steadily from 2 at the 10th percentile (that is, a family ranked tenth from the bottom out of 100) to 14 at the 90th percentile, but then falls off slightly to 13 at the very top, reflecting the favorable treatment of capital gains and investment income under the Bush administration s income tax laws.

But most countries have now adopted dual income taxation that treat the fruits of capital more leniently than other personal income. More importantly, the notion of corporate income is inherently arbitrary, for it is based on correct measurement of capital consumption in each tax period, which has become less and less reliable owing to the increased importance of intangibles in the value of companies.

Federal assumption of the states war debts also yielded an advantage in terms of economic development once states no longer had any debt, they had no need to raise any revenues through direct taxation, which might have impeded the growth of America s internal market. Indeed, after the federal government assumed the states debt (already a small part of the total), state revenues fell by 80 90 .

Taxation, Pension and Gratuity. Within the taxation system in Pakistan, there is no direct or indirect linkage between taxes tax credits and nature or size of the family.

One key idea was to lighten the tax burden on labor . Taking into account the personal income tax and various social contributions, taxation of labor income in China is too high . To be sure, taxes are needed to finance social spending, but revenue sources other than taxes on labor income could do the job. China could usefully explore shifting part of the burden from labor toward property, capital gains, and inheritance taxes.

CAMBRIDGE This year marks the 100th anniversaries of two distinct institutional innovations in American economic policy the introduction of the federal income tax and the establishment of the Federal Reserve.

Romney s budget plan would also make the federal tax and transfer system considerably less progressive, thereby worsening income inequality, which is already at its highest level since the Great Depression. Rising income inequality fuels a growing opportunity deficit for children born into poor and middle income families, reflected in disparities in educational attainment by family background, and a decline in intergenerational mobility.

For example, in the US, the federal budget offsets a substantial part (estimated at 30 40 ) of the differences in per capita income levels across states, because poorer states contribute less income tax, on average, and receive higher transfer payments. But this does not imply that these mechanisms also provide insurance against shocks (sudden changes in income for individual states).

One is found in the Distribution of Household Income and Federal Taxes, published by the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) last year. After tax real income for the lowest quintile of US households was 49 higher in 2010 than in 1979, growing at an average rate of 1.3 annually.

While French public spending which stood at 56 of GDP in 2011 is at or above Scandinavian levels, French households pay lower tax rates on consumption and personal income. The gap is bridged by a mixture of deficit spending and high taxation on employment.

The idea of a common tax base must be preserved in order to simplify the system and narrow the scope for profit shifting. However, a radical change in approach is required the notion of income as a basis for corporate taxation should be scrapped altogether.
