  • A Regional Computable General Equilibrium Model of Wales for Tax Policy Analysis
    A Regional Computable General Equilibrium Model of Wales for Tax Policy Analysis By Long Zhou A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Cardiff University Economics Section of Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University May 2019 ABSTRACT Under the background of ongoing regional tax devolution in Wales, the development of new regional economic models has been needed to understand tax policy variations. This thesis develops a Computable General Equilibrium model of Wales for tax policy analysis. This model is a static, multi-sector and single-regional model. A Social Accounting Matrix is also developed as the benchmark database for the model. It features 21 sectors, 1 representative household, 2 external agents, 7 types of taxes and 3 production factors, and is balanced with various methods. Unknown model parameters are calibrated by the data information contained in the SAM. The model can be solved to replicate the benchmark SAM and the simulation is conducted regarding three taxes: Stamp Duty Land Tax, Corporation Tax and Income Tax; and three time frames: short, medium and long run. The time frames are defined according to different degrees of factor mobility. The whole simulation is also run with sensitivity analysis that three elasticity values regarding substitution between production factors are examined: 0.5, 1 and 1.5. For all the taxes, the simulation results generally give negative effects in the short run, and only in the medium to long run there appears expected reasonable results. The results of SDLT variation effects generally suggest that narrowing the gap between residential and non-residential SDLT rates has slightly more impact than simply cut of both rates.

  • Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh Government Jocelyn Oavies AM Chair, Finance Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff CF991NA
    Jane Hutt AC / AM Y Gweinidog Cyllid a Busnes y Llywodraeth Minister for Finance and Government Business Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh Government Jocelyn Oavies AM Chair, Finance Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff CF991NA i >J. ~t- November 2015 ~~~, At the Finance Committee's evidence session on 21 October in relation to the Tax Collection and Management (Wales) Bill, I committed to provide further information concerning Section 37 of GOWA 2006, and to review the record and clarify the current situation in discussions with HMRC about the management of Land Transaction Tax (L TT). In relation to Landfill Oisposals Tax (LOT) collection, I referred to Councillor Shotton's letter concerning local government's response to the invitation to consider devolved tax collection and therefore I attach a copy for information. I also confirmed in my Written Statement in June this year and at my attendances at Committee that I would provide the Assembly with an update on work to establish collection and management arrangements. This letter fulfils that commitment. Assembly scrutiny of the Welsh Revenue Authority When discussing how the Assembly might approach the future scrutiny of the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) I briefly mentioned section 37 of the Government of Wales Act 2006. I drew attention to this because the section confers broad powers on the Assembly to require a person to attend to give evidence or produce documents. The powers can be exercised by the Audit Committee or such other committee as the Assembly expressly authorise (by standing orders or otherwise). I also mentioned that the Tax Collection and Management Bill (the Bill) includes several measures that provide the Assembly with information to assist it to scrutinise the WRA.

  • Evidence from Minister for Economy, Transport And
    Memorandum on the Economy and Transport Draft Budget Proposals for 2021-22 Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee – 20 January 2021 1.0 Introduction This paper provides information on the Economy & Transport (E&T) budget proposals as outlined in the 2021-22 Draft Budget published on 21 December 2020. It also provides an update on specific areas of interest to the Committee. 2.0 Strategic Context / Covid Impacts Aligned to Prosperity for All and the Well Being and Future Generations Act, the Economic Action Plan is the guiding policy and strategy document for all of Welsh Government’s activities. The 2021-22 plan builds on the considerable progress in implementing and embedding key elements of the plan, involving engagement with a range of stakeholders, particularly the business community and social partners. The pathway to Welsh economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic builds on the foundations of Prosperity for All: The Economic Action Plan. This shaped an economic development programme which invests in people and businesses - driving prosperity and reducing inequality across all of Wales. The mission builds on the early progress we have made in raising the profile and challenges in the Foundational Economy, recognising there is more to be done to spread and scale the approach. Other key initiatives, including Prosperity for All: A Low Carbon Wales, Cymraeg 2050, the Employability Delivery Plan and our Fair Work agenda, run through all interventions. The Well-being of Future Generations Act and its wider framework continue to provide a uniquely Welsh way of tackling the long-term challenges that our people and our planet face.
