The countries chosen for the comparative review cover not only a wide geographic range, but also a range of economic development stages. Two of these countries are located in North America (Canada and the United States), two are in South America (Argentina and Chile), three are in Europe (Denmark, France, and Germany), one is in the Middle East (Bahrain), two are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Thailand and Viet Nam), and finally four are located in East Asia (China, Japan, Mongolia and the Republic of Korea). The purpose of the report is to highlight the main features and practices applied in these UI schemes – which three countries have even chosen to rebrand as EI schemes – rather than offering a detailed review of all of their characteristics and parameters. Some form of unemployment benefits are currently being offered in 72 countries across the world. The current selection, as interesting and wide ranging as it is, cannot and does not pretend to be comprehensive. It only seeks to open avenues for considered thought and deliberation on the concepts, rationale and thinking that can be derived from these particular cases. The research was conducted under the project “Promoting and Building Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services in ASEAN”, funded by the Government of Japan. iii Comparative review of unemployment and employment insurance experiences in Asia and worldwide Foreword The 2009 financial and economic crisis and its impact on labour markets contributed to raising awareness of the importance of introducing unemployment protection measures. Unemployment benefits aim, on the one hand, to guarantee at least partial income replacement, enabling the beneficiary to maintain a certain standard of living until returning to work. On the other hand, they support the unemployed in seeking new employment and increasing their employability. A growing number of countries also acknowledge that providing income security to workers allows for a smoothing of domestic consumption in times when external demand contracts because of reduced global economic activities. Finally, countries equipped with measures to protect and support the unemployed will be better prepared to acquire skills required by changing economies. In these circumstances, the standards set by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in the field of social security and unemployment protection in particular, provide relevant guidelines to countries considering reinforcing protection of their unemployed people. With the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) aiming at integration by 2015, the task of reinforcing social security and establishing social protection floors across the region takes on additional significance. Although in South-East Asian countries unemployment rates are relatively low (4.7 per cent as an average of across the region in 2011), vulnerable workers engaged as own-account or contributing family workers still represented 180 million persons in 2011 or 62 per cent of all workers. During an ILO-ASEAN Seminar on unemployment insurance, income security and active labour market policies, held in Ho Chi Minh City, 20 to 22 March 2012, the ASEAN Governments and social partners acknowledged that unemployment benefits, as well as other social protection measures to support the unemployed or working poor, should be an integral component of development efforts to ensure that progress in poverty reduction is not reversed. Among the ASEAN countries, only Thailand, in 2004, and Viet Nam, in 2009, have established an unemployment insurance scheme. Other countries, e.g Malaysia and the Philippines, are exploring modalities for introducing unemployment benefits. The present research offers a comparative review of unemployment/employment insurance experiences in Asia and worldwide that, It is hoped, will be a useful source of information for ASEAN countries that are exploring diverse options to introduce or adjust unemployment benefits. The research is part of the project “Promoting and Building Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services in ASEAN”, funded by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. Yoshiteru Uramoto Assistant Director-General Regional Director ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific iv Acknowledgements The authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the immense support of the Government of Japan in providing assistance to developing countries in ASEAN through the ILO/Japan Multi-bilateral Programme. This regional programme, established in 1974, combines the technical expertise of the ILO with financial support from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. The ILO/Japan-ASEAN Project, “Promoting and Building Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services in ASEAN” is the focal point of this support in building and strengthening social security schemes and employment services. We wish to express our gratitude to the various experts within the 14 country ministries and departments dealing with UI and EI who provided their assistance in reviewing country profiles and templates. The 14 countries are: Argentina, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Mongolia, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, United States and Viet Nam. Their assistance provided expert advice on technical matters relating to their UI/EI scheme. We are highly indebted to Ms Isssiree Reungpoj

  • Chapter 2: What's Fair About Taxes?
    Hoover Classics : Flat Tax hcflat ch2 Mp_35 rev0 page 35 2. What’s Fair about Taxes? economists and politicians of all persuasions agree on three points. One, the federal income tax is not sim- ple. Two, the federal income tax is too costly. Three, the federal income tax is not fair. However, economists and politicians do not agree on a fourth point: What does fair mean when it comes to taxes? This disagree- ment explains, in large measure, why it so difficult to find a replacement for the federal income tax that meets the other goals of simplicity and low cost. In recent years, the issue of fairness has come to overwhelm the other two standards used to evaluate tax systems: cost (efficiency) and simplicity. Recall the 1992 presidential campaign. Candidate Bill Clinton preached that those who “benefited unfairly” in the 1980s [the Tax Reform Act of 1986 reduced the top tax rate on upper-income taxpayers from 50 percent to 28 percent] should pay their “fair share” in the 1990s. What did he mean by such terms as “benefited unfairly” and should pay their “fair share?” Were the 1985 tax rates fair before they were reduced in 1986? Were the Carter 1980 tax rates even fairer before they were reduced by President Reagan in 1981? Were the Eisenhower tax rates fairer still before President Kennedy initiated their reduction? Were the original rates in the first 1913 federal income tax unfair? Were the high rates that prevailed during World Wars I and II fair? Were Andrew Mellon’s tax Hoover Classics : Flat Tax hcflat ch2 Mp_36 rev0 page 36 36 The Flat Tax rate cuts unfair? Are the higher tax rates President Clin- ton signed into law in 1993 the hallmark of a fair tax system, or do rates have to rise to the Carter or Eisen- hower levels to be fair? No aspect of federal income tax policy has been more controversial, or caused more misery, than alle- gations that some individuals and income groups don’t pay their fair share.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Chairman, Senate Finance Committee, August 11, 1994 I would repeal the entire Internal Revenue Code and start over. Shirley Peterson, Former Commissioner, Internal Revenue Service, August 3, 1994 Tax laws are so complex that mechanical rules have caused some lawyers to lose sight of the fact that their stock-in-trade as lawyers should be sound judgment, not an ability to recall an obscure paragraph and manipulate its language to derive unintended tax benefits. Margaret Milner Richardson, Commissioner, Internal Revenue Service, August 10, 1994 It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow.

  • Ohio Income Tax Update: Changes in How Unemployment Benefits Are Taxed for Tax Year 2020
    Ohio Income Tax Update: Changes in how Unemployment Benefits are taxed for Tax Year 2020 On March 31, 2021, Governor DeWine signed into law Sub. S.B. 18, which incorporates recent federal tax changes into Ohio law effective immediately. Specifically, federal tax changes related to unemployment benefits in the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 will impact some individuals who have already filed or will soon be filing their 2020 Ohio IT 1040 and SD 100 returns (due by May 17, 2021). Ohio taxes unemployment benefits to the extent they are included in federal adjusted gross income (AGI). Due to the ARPA, the IRS is allowing certain taxpayers to deduct up to $10,200 in unemployment benefits. Certain married taxpayers who both received unemployment benefits can each deduct up to $10,200. This deduction is factored into the calculation of a taxpayer’s federal AGI, which is the starting point for Ohio’s income tax computation. Some taxpayers will file their 2020 federal and Ohio income tax returns after the enactment of the unemployment benefits deduction, and thus will receive the benefit of the deduction on their original returns. However, many taxpayers filed their federal and Ohio income tax returns and reported their unemployment benefits prior to the enactment of this deduction. As such, the Department offers the following guidance related to the unemployment benefits deduction for tax year 2020: • Taxpayers who do not qualify for the federal unemployment benefits deduction. o Ohio does not have its own deduction for unemployment benefits. Thus, if taxpayers do not qualify for the federal deduction, then all unemployment benefits included in federal AGI are taxable to Ohio.

Costs have skyrocketed while wages remain stagnant. Many of the jobs that have returned in the wake of the Great Recession have often offered lower wages and benefits, leaving Americans without college degrees particularly vulnerable. Fissures in the country are more apparent than ever, as access to opportunity is radically different between communities; the wealthiest grow richer while working families find themselves increasingly strapped. As a result of perpetual underinvestment in infrastructure, education, and other domestic priorities, the future for too many Americans looks increasingly grim, unequal, and uncertain. Federal policies passed or implemented in the past year will largely result in expanded inequality, not in rebuilding the middle class. The new tax law, as pushed by the Trump administration and congressional leadership, gives billions of dollars in tax cuts to companies and the wealthiest Americans instead of providing further support to those who need it most. As was true in the 2000s and more recently in states such as Kansas, showering tax giveaways on the wealthiest individuals and corporations does not create jobs or raise wages.1 Rather, when the baseless promises of economic growth do not materialize, the result is lower revenues and, ultimately, major cuts to critical investments in areas such as schools, infrastructure, and public services.
