  • Trends and Issues in Tax Policy and Reform in India
    M. GOVINDA RAO National Institute of Public Finance and Policy R. KAVITA RAO National Institute of Public Finance and Policy Trends and Issues in Tax Policy and Reform in India ax systems the world over have undergone significant changes during Tthe last twenty years as many countries across the ideological spectrum and with varying levels of development have undertaken reforms. The wave of tax reforms that began in the mid-1980s and accelerated in the 1990s was motivated by a number of factors. In many developing countries, pressing fiscal imbalance was the driving force. Tax policy was employed as a principal instrument to correct severe budgetary pressures.1 In others, the transition from a planned economy to a market economy necessitated wide- ranging tax reforms. Besides efficiency considerations, these tax reforms had to address the issues of replacing public enterprise profits with taxes as a principal source of revenue and of aligning tax policy to change in the development strategy. Another motivation was the internationalization of economic activities arising from increasing globalization. On the one hand, globalization entailed significant reduction in tariffs, and replacements had to be found for this important and relatively easily administered revenue source. On the other, globalization emphasized the need to minimize both efficiency and compliance costs of the tax system. The supply-side tax reforms of the Thatcher-Reagan era also had their impact on the tax reforms in developing countries. The evolution of the Indian tax system was driven by similar concerns and yet, in some ways, it is different and even unique. Unlike most develop- ing countries, which were guided in their tax reforms by multilateral agencies The authors are grateful to Shankar N.

  • Working Paper No. 92 India's Fiscal Situation: Is a Crisis Ahead?
    CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND POLICY REFORM Working Paper No. 92 India’s Fiscal Situation: Is a Crisis Ahead? by T. N. Srinivasan* February 2001 Stanford University John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building 366 Galvez Street | Stanford, CA | 94305-6015 * Samuel C. Park, Jr. Professor of Economics, Yale University 2 INDIA’S FISCAL SITUATION: IS A CRISIS AHEAD? T. N. Srinivasan* Samuel C. Park, Jr. Professor of Economics Yale University September 20, 2000—2 Paper presented at the Center for Research on Economic Development and Policy Reform Conference on Indian Economic Prospects: Advancing Policy Reform Abstract Although, on the surface, the achievements of the Indian economy during the past two decades paint a comforting macroeconomic picture, the accompanying rapid expansion in fiscal deficits is unsustainable. The current fiscal problems existing in the states can be attributed to the increasing subsidies on publicly supplied goods and services, inter-state competition in attracting investment through tax incentives, and overstaffing of administrations and public enterprises. The federal structure of India’s fiscal system also implies difficulties in improving the states’ finances. After discussing ways to reform taxes and expenditure, this paper identifies high explicit and implicit subsidies as a major cause of the fiscal problems at the central and state level. Reducing these subsidies requires far-reaching changes in the domestic political economy. The paper also analyzes the fiscal impact of disinvestment. To achieve the goals of development, fiscal sustainability is indispensable. Although there are some positive signs, a political consensus on and commitment to fiscal reform are yet to emerge.

  • Roaring Tiger Or Lumbering Elephant?
    aUGUST 2006 ANALYSIS MARK THIRLWELL Roaring tiger or Program Director International Economy lumbering elephant? Tel. +61 2 8238 9060 [email protected] Assessing the performance, prospects and problems of India’s development model.1 In the past, there has been plenty of scepticism about India’s economic prospects: for many, Charles De Gaulle’s aphorism regarding Brazil, that it was a country with enormous potential, and always would be, seemed to apply equally well to the South Asian economy. While the ‘tiger’ economies of East Asia were enjoying economic take-off on the back of investment- and export-led growth, the lumbering Indian elephant seemed set to be a perpetual also-ran in the growth stakes. Yet following a series of reform efforts, first tentatively in the 1980s, and then with much more conviction in the 1990s, the Indian economic model has been transformed, and so too India’s growth prospects. High profile successes in the new economy sectors of information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO), along with faster economic growth, triggered a widespread rethink regarding India’s economic prospects, and a wave of foreign portfolio investment flowed into Indian markets. Perhaps India was set to be a tiger after all. Yet this new-found optimism received a setback in May and June of this year, when there were sharp falls in Indian stock markets. Had the optimism been overdone, and was another re-rating of India’s economic prospects on the cards? Perhaps India was only a lumbering elephant after all? This paper takes a closer look at the new Indian development model.
