  • Paolo Silvestri Anthropology of Freedom and Tax Justice: Between Exchange and Gift
    Paolo Silvestri Anthropology of Freedom and Tax Justice: between Exchange and Gift. Thoughts for an interdisciplinary research agenda1 1. Introduction The way in which fiscal institutions and fiscal policies are conceived and imple- mented raises problems at the intersection of so many ethical, institutional, legal, political and philosophical issues, both practical and theoretical, that a unified framework of all these rather fragmented issues seems to be quite impossible. Let us consider just a few of these issues. The performance of fiscal institutions is crucial for its effects on equality, inclusiveness and social mobility. Tax issues, or, rather, tax injustices are at the core, if not the origin of modern democratic and legal-political (and not only economic) institutions. The arrangement of fiscal institutions touches salient political-social issues, many of them at the heart of a sound and democratic good governance both at local and global level: transparency, accountability, efficacy, legitimacy, and trust. Last but not least, taxation is ambivalently connected to citi- zens’ trust/distrust relationships: among themselves as well as toward political, legal, and administrative institutions, since taxation is often perceived as the most immedi- ate presence (for better or for worse) of such institutions in their lives. 1 This little essay is dedicated to a great man, a man who one day gave me a great gift, rekindling my hopes for the future. At the time when I received that gift, I immediately felt an immense sense of gratitude, and an immediate boost to find ways to be able to pay my debts and honour, at my very best, the credit and trust I was given.

  • Focal Theme: Geomorphology, Environment and Society
    th 30 National Conference of the Indian Institute of Geomorphologists (IGI) 03-05 October, 2018 Focal Theme: Geomorphology, Environment and Society Organized by Department of Geography, Faculty of Natural Sciences Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi Background Geomorphology, as the study of the origins and evolution of Earth’s landforms and the processes that shape them, is closely associated with environment and society. In today’s world, there is much interest in, and concern about, the global environment and how it operates and changes. The threats of climate change and the species extinctions are commonly highlighted, but what about the potential changes to physical landscape? Understanding how landscapes operate and change is a crucial part of gaining a full understanding of the Earth system ad enabling better environmental management. The human survival and prosperity depend on their understanding of geomorphic processes. Human settlements are often vulnerable to geomorphic hazards by virtue of their location in the path of geomorphic processes such as flooding, landslides or debris flows. In the next level of interaction, human settlement alters geomorphic processes such as exacerbating the severity of flooding by reducing infiltration and increasing storm water runoff, increasing erosion and sediment yields through land clearance, triggering mass movements by altering drainage patterns or undercutting the toes of slopes and inducing seismic activity. In addition to explaining how landscapes have developed in the past, how they function at present, and how they might change in future, there is a growing recognition of geomorphology as a field contributing to a range of environmental investigations and societal issues.

  • Investors' Reaction to a Reform of Corporate Income Taxation
    Investors' Reaction to a Reform of Corporate Income Taxation Dennis Voeller z (University of Mannheim) Jens M¨uller z (University of Graz) Draft: November 2011 Abstract: This paper investigates the stock market response to the corporate tax reform in Germany of 2008. The reform included a decrease in the statutary corporate income tax rate from 25% to 15% and a considerable reduction of interest taxation at the shareholder level. As a result, it provided for a higher tax benefit of debt. As it comprises changes in corporate taxation as well as the introduction of a final withholding tax on capital income, the German tax reform act of 2008 allows for a joint consideration of investors' reactions on both changes in corporate and personal income taxes. Analyzing company returns around fifteen events in 2006 and 2007 which mark important steps in the legislatory process preceding the passage of the reform, the study provides evidence on whether investors expect a reduction in their respective tax burden. Especially, it considers differences in investors' reactions depending on the financial structure of a company. While no significant average market reactions can be observed, the results suggest positive price reactions of highly levered companies.

    International Background Paper Wealth Tax Commission Financing COVID-19 costs in Germany: is a wealth tax a sensible approach? Author Ruben Rehr FINANCING COVID-19 COSTS IN GERMANY – IS A WEALTH TAX A SENSIBLE APPROACH? Ruben Rehr, Bucerius Law School, Germany Wealth Tax Commission Background Paper no. 131 Published by the Wealth Tax Commission www.ukwealth.tax Acknowledgements The Wealth Tax Commission acknowledges funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) through the CAGE at Warwick (ES/L011719/1) and a COVID-19 Rapid Response Grant (ES/V012657/1), and a grant from Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity's COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund. 2 1. Introduction In these trying times, the German economy suffers from lockdowns and restrictions necessary due to the COVID-19 crisis. Much of that bill is footed by the taxpayer through a stimulus package worth 170 billion euros, enacted by the federal Government to combat recession.1 It is likely that such government spending will at some point in the future require higher tax revenue. The Social Democrats2 (SPD) and the Socialists3 (Die Linke) have used this opportunity to revive the idea of taxing wealth. Reintroducing a wealth tax is an election campaign evergreen. It might be because the wealth tax is automatically understood as only taxing the rich.4 Estimates assume that only 0.17%5 to 0.2%6 of taxpayers would be subjected to such a wealth tax and it appears that taxes paid by others enjoy popularity amongst the electorate. Currently the Social Democrats,7 the Greens,8 and the Socialists9 support its reintroduction.

  • Petroleum Profit Tax and Economic Growth in Nigeria
    International Journal of Management Sciences and Business Research Volume 1, Issue 9 2012 – ISSN (2226-8235) PETROLEUM PROFIT TAX AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA BY 1) APPAH EBIMOBOWEI DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING, BAYELSA STATE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, OKPOAMA, BRASS-ISLAND, YENAGOA, NIGERIA & 2) EBIRINGA, O.T. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, OWERRI, NIGERIA. ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of petroleum profit tax on the economic growth of Nigeria. To achieve the objective of this paper, relevant secondary data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) from 1970 to 2010. The secondary data collected from the relevant government agencies in Nigeria were analysed with relevant econometric tests of Breusch -Godfrey Serial Correlation LM, White Heteroskedasticity, Ramsey RESET, Jarque Bera, Johansen Co-integration, and Granger Causality. The results show that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between economic growth and petroleum profit tax. It was also found that petroleum profit tax does granger cause gross domestic product of Nigeria. On the basis of the empirical analysis, the paper concludes that petroleum profit tax is one of the most important components direct taxes in Nigeria that affects the economic growth of the country and therefore should be properly managed to reduce the level of evasion by petroleum exploration companies in Nigeria. The paper recommends among others that companies involved in petroleum operations should be properly supervised by the relevant tax authority (FIRS) to reduce the level of tax evasion; government should show more accountabi lity in the management of tax revenue and finally, the level of corruption in Nigeria and that of government officials should be drastically reduced to win the confidence of tax payers for voluntary tax compliance.

ARTICLES U.S. TAX IMPERIALISM IN PUERTO RICO DIANE LOURDES DICK* This Article uses historical and legal analysis to demonstrate how U.S. domination over Puerto Rico's tax and fiscal policies has been the centerpiece of a colonial system and an especially destructive form of economic imperialism. Specifically, this Article develops a novel theory of U.S. tax imperialism in Puerto Rico, chronicling the sundry ways in which the United States has used tax laws to exert economic dominance over its less developed island colony. During the colonial period, U.S. officials wrote and revised Puerto Rican tax laws to serve U.S. economic interests. In more recent years, U.S. tax laws have disadvantagedPuerto Ricans, who still lack voting rights and full democratic representation in Congress. A theory of tax imperialism may also have applicationfar beyond the U.S.-Puerto Rican experience. For instance, it may help us understand the relationships between the United States and its other possessions and territories throughout history, and between the United Kingdom and its British Crown dependencies, overseas territories, and newly-independent colonies.

  • Optimum Tariffs on Exhaustible Resources: Theory and Evidence
    Optimum Tariffs on Exhaustible Resources: Theory and Evidence for Gasoline∗ Julien Daubanes and Lisa Leinert CER-ETH, Center of Economic Research at ETHZ, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Preliminary and incomplete version, January 12, 2012 Abstract Domestic consumption taxes on oil products largely differ across countries, ranging from very high subsidies to very high taxes. The empirical literature on the issue has highlighted the role of revenue-raising (Ramsey commodity taxation) and externality-correction (Pigo- vian taxation) motives for national taxation. Isolatedly, the theoretical literature on non- renewable-resource taxation has emphasized the role of the optimum-tariff dimension of excise taxes which reflects countries' non-cooperative exercise of their market power. This paper reconciles these two strands by comprehensively addressing the issue. First, we propose a multi-country model of national taxation where there are oil, modeled as a pol- luting exhaustible resource, and regular commodities. Domestic welfare is maximized with respect to domestic taxes under a revenue-collection constraint. The optimal domestic tax on oil consumption not only consists of a Ramsey inverse-elasticity term and a Pigovian term, but also of an optimum-tariff component. In fact, resource exhaustibility implies a form of supply inelasticity that magnifies optimum-tariff arguments. Second, based on a multiple regression using a data set with a large number of countries, we test the power of the optimum-tariff tax component in explaining national
