In Spain, despite tax hikes worth more than 4 of GDP since 2010, the tax to GDP ratio was only 38 in 2014, compared to 41 in 2007. In Greece, tax increases amounted to 13 of GDP during the same period, but the tax ratio increased by only six percentage points.

So the key to raising revenue is to reduce tax expenditures, use some of the resulting revenue to reduce tax rates, and devote the rest to reducing future deficits. Opponents of tax increases should see that, because such revenue raising is really cutting government spending, it does not imply the adverse incentive effects of raising marginal tax rates.

Many argue that restrictions on the purchase of alcohol and tax increases are not sufficient to significantly deter those determined to purchase and consume alcohol.

Efforts to cap popular tax expenditures will encounter strong opposition from Republicans and Democrats alike. Nonetheless, some tax reforms are likely to be a key component of a bipartisan deficit reduction deal, because they provide Republicans who oppose increases in tax rates for high income taxpayers with an ideologically preferable way to increase revenue from them.

A consumption tax hike should be timed in such a way that it does not suffocate the economic recovery that Abe s bold economic program, dubbed Abenomics, is facilitating. Western economists typically favor gradual tax increases Jeffrey Frankel, for example, recommends a pre announced plan to increase the tax rate by, say, one percentage point annually for five years.

Spending cuts and tax increases that in the long run restore fiscal sanity and balance are good. Having them all hit a weak, still depressed economy simultaneously is not good.

Reducing individual tax rates and taxes on savings and investment at best fosters modest increases in employment, work effort, and income. Despite the Bush era tax cuts, the 2001 2007 expansion was the worst of the post war period in terms of investment, employment, wage, and GDP growth.

For example, tax evasion is pervasive, so increases disproportionately hit those who already pay, fueling a widespread perception of unfairness. Monti attempted to address this, but moving from the current equilibrium to a better one, in which tax evasion is the exception rather than the norm, is a long term project.

But there is a much better strategy than tradable permits. Each region of the world should introduce a tax on CO2 emissions that starts low today and increases gradually and predictably in the future.

Huge spending increases were directed at farmers and households. As a result, the share of tax revenue to total spending this fiscal year slipped below 50 , something unseen in Japan s entire post war history.

Republicans have proposed tax reforms in lieu of rate hikes on high income taxpayers to raise revenues for deficit reduction. Obama has signaled that he is willing to consider this approach, provided it increases tax revenues from the top 2 3 by at least the same amount as higher rates while protecting other taxpayers.

Recent research also reveals that in OECD countries since World War II, successful fiscal consolidation defined as stabilizing the budget while avoiding recession averaged 5 6 of actual spending cuts per dollar of tax hikes. Cuts in spending, especially on entitlements and transfers, were far less likely to cause recessions than tax increases were.

But, if tax increases are not politically expedient, policymakers should proceed with old fashioned deficit spending. The important thing is to achieve any fiscal stimulus that boosts job creation and puts the unemployed back to work.

A similarly honest and modern approach can also secure Medicare, without large tax increases on middle income Americans. For starters, bipartisan proposals for premium support, with seniors receiving subsidies to purchase private health insurance, should be implemented.

Yes, the US needs tax increases to move the federal budget into surplus and policies to boost private savings. But the world also needs policies to boost investment in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

But this economic logic does not apply in the case of increases in oil prices. Although high oil prices look like a tax on business activity that depresses aggregate demand, they also raise inflation, both directly and indirectly.

For example, capital mobility increases opportunities for tax evasion, given that tax authorities capacity to monitor their citizens overseas incomes is limited, and some governments and financial institutions systematically conceal relevant information. If dividends, interest, royalties, and management fees are not taxed in the country in which they are paid, they more easily escape notice in the country of residence.

First, Republicans and Democrats must negotiate a bipartisan agreement to stretch out the spending cuts and tax increases that take effect on January 1, 2013. That way, they will affect the economy gradually over five years, rather than all at once.

On this view, if fiscal austerity relieves households of the burden of future tax increases, they will increase their spending. This may be true when the economy is operating at full employment when state and market are in competition for every last resource.

For the moment, most Americans seem to be going along with Republican arguments that it is better to close the budget deficit through spending cuts rather than tax increases. Yet when the actual budget proposals are made, there will be a growing backlash.

Instead of focusing on structural reforms to liberate the economy s productive forces, it relied on income cuts and tax increases. The incompetence of the governments that implemented the agreement exacerbates that defect by sidelining structural reforms and enacting only the terms concerning austerity.

In normal times, central banks want to reduce inflation. The problem is that pre announced hikes in tax rates or administered prices can have the undesirable effect of building annual price increases into public perceptions, undermining the central bank s inflation fighting efforts.
