  • Financial Transaction Tax: a Discussion Paper on Fiscal and Economic
    Financial transaction tax: A discussion paper on fiscal and economic implications June 2013 The political debate surrounding the financial transaction tax has become fixated on the simplistic common denominator: collecting money, penalising banks, assuaging the markets and establishing justice. These winsome and appealing demands currently enjoy broad support in Germany. With public approval at 82% according to the European Commission's Eurobarometer survey, positive sentiment is highest in Germany ahead of both France and Greece, where approval is at 75%. And so it appears that the political common denominator has been found! However, from a macroeconomic perspective the crux is whether it would ultimately be possible to satisfy regulatory and fiscal demands by introducing the financial transaction tax. Doubts are not unwarranted in this regard. Is the financial transaction tax capable of fulfilling the necessary functions of financing, distribution and steering? Although the specific embodiment of the financial transaction tax remains nebulous for the time being, if one takes a long-term, holistic view, the direct and indirect costs of introducing such a tax appear to outweigh the benefits. The following observations summarise the manifest flaws in the concept, as well as the financial and real economic ramifications of those flaws, which have not been given sufficient consideration. In June 2012, the German federal government and the opposition published a green paper, in which they promised "to assess the impact the tax would have on pension assets, retail investors and the real economy, and to avoid negative consequences".1 It is becoming clear that this promise is untenable. In fact, a financial transaction tax is incapable of sensibly and expediently fulfilling any of the three necessary functions of a tax: financing, distribution and steering.

The draft Environmental Protection Tax Law (EPT Law) released 10 June by MoF, SAT, and MEP also points to a transition from a whack­a­mole approach using administrative decrees, to a legal framework that allows for more rational arbitration of interests. http://us2.campaign­archive1.com/?u=3fd756a9629015f7becc6e127&id=ac870b5ff9&e=f30fe6a933 1/8 8/31/2015 cp.signals: ecotaxes to be tougher on polluters intent Invoking the ‘polluter pays’ principle, the tax encourages heavy polluters to factor externalities into production.

  • 2016 Taxes Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Taxes Report Tax Policy m o c . a i l o t o F – Sustainable Governance g i n n a v Indicators 2016 o j © Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2016 | 2 Taxes Indicator Tax Policy Question To what extent does taxation policy realize goals of equity, competitiveness and the generation of sufficient public revenues? 41 OECD and EU countries are sorted according to their performance on a scale from 10 (best) to 1 (lowest). This scale is tied to four qualitative evaluation levels. 10-9 = Taxation policy fully achieves the objectives. 8-6 = Taxation policy largely achieves the objectives. 5-3 = Taxation policy partially achieves the objectives. 2-1 = Taxation policy does not achieve the objectives at all. Finland Score 9 In Finland, the state, municipalities, the Evangelic Lutheran Church and the Orthodox Church have the power to levy taxes. Taxation policies are largely effective. The state taxes individual incomes at rates falling on a progressive scale between 6.5% and 31.75% (2015). Municipal taxes range from 16.25% to 21.75%, depending on the municipal authority. In 2015, the average overall personal income- tax rate was 51.50%; it averaged 53.10% over the 1995 – 2014, falling from an all- time high of 62.20% in 1995. Generally speaking, demands for vertical equity are largely satisfied. However, this is less true for horizontal equity. The corporate income-tax rate was lowered in January 2014 from 24.5% to 20%, and adjustments in recent years have made Finland’s taxation system less complex and more transparent. Finland performs well in regards to structural-balance and redistributional effects, and overall taxation policies generate sufficient government revenue.

  • Excise Or Excise Tax (Sometimes Called a Duty of Excise Or a Special Tax
    excise or excise tax (sometimes called a duty of excise or a special tax) may be defined broadly as an inland tax on the production for sale; or sale, of specific goods,[1] or narrowly as a tax on a good produced for sale, or sold, within the country. Excises are distinguished from customs duties, which are taxes on importation. Excises, whether broadly defined or narrowly defined, are inland taxes, whereas customs duties are border taxes. An excise is an indirect tax, meaning that the producer or seller who pays the tax to the government is expected to try to recover the tax by raising the price paid by the buyer (that is, to shift or pass on the tax). Excises are typically imposed in addition to another indirect tax such as a sales tax or VAT. In common terminology (but not necessarily in law) an excise is distinguished from a sales tax or VAT in three ways: (i) an excise typically applies to a narrower range of products; (ii) an excise is typically heavier, accounting for higher fractions (sometimes half or more) of the retail prices of the targeted products; and (iii) an excise is typically specific (so much per unit of measure; e.g. so many cents per gallon), whereas a sales tax or VAT is ad valorem, i.e. proportional to value (a percentage of the price in the case of a sales tax, or of value added in the case of a VAT). Typical examples of excise duties are taxes on gasoline and other fuels, and taxes on tobacco and alcohol (sometimes referred to as sin tax) Excise tax is notable for the vagueness of its definition.

The Regulation of Ozone-Depleting Chemicals in the European Community INTRODUCTION On September 16, 1987, the European Community (EC or Community) was among twenty-six parties that signed the Mon­ treal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Mon­ treal Protocol).l By February of 1988, however, the Committee on the Environment of the Parliament of the European Com­ munities (Environment Committee) recognized that the terms of the Montreal Protocol were inadequate.2 In addition, by March of 1988, scientists were reporting that the ozone layer was dis­ appearing twice as fast as they had previously predicted.3 Both the Environment Committee and the scientists recommended that the Community take stronger measures than those agreed to in the Montreal Protocol, and pushed for strengthening the Mon­ treal Protocol itself.
