The primary changes to the Classification Manual involve reformatting and restructuring, intended to facilitate its release via the Internet. These changes are intended to make the document significantly more user-friendly. This is especially true for the viewable version of the Classification Manual that is accessed via the Governments Division’s Internet web pages. This latest version also will enable easier and more timely updates to cover topical classification issues. The following are included among these types of changes: · Conversion of the viewable document from text format to “html” format. · Introduction of list boxes to provide readers with direct links to function codes and definitions. · Addition of the complete set of reference tables and charts, not previously contained in the viewable version of the Classification Manual. · New navigational applications, such as hyper-links, to ease navigation through the document for purposes of finding function code definitions, tables, and examples. This version of the Classification Manual contains only limited changes to subject content. The basic classification system for government finance and employment statistics, first developed and used in 1952, remains fully intact. The original Classification Manual was reissued periodically subsequent to that first edition in 1952. These other editions were released in 1976, 1981, and 1992. Of all the editions, this year 2001 version contains the fewest number of substantive changes to classifications and definitions applied in the Census of Governments and related surveys. Changes to the classification system that have occurred since 1992 are summarized below. They reflect responses to changing statistical needs – including those of the primary users of Governments Division data, which are other Federal statistical agencies: · Expansion of classification detail in the area of insurance trust system assets to include measures of international investments. · Expansion of classification detail in the area of insurance trust system assets to include regular measurement of employee retirement system assets at both book value (cost) and market value. · A classification category for a government’s contribution (subsidy) to its own transit system. · An “exhibit” item category for identifying the substantial amounts of money emanating from the Tobacco Lawsuit Settlement. · Removal of classification categories and references that are no longer applicable. These pertain to the Federal Government finances, since those components of the Census of Governments and the annual finance surveys are no longer conducted as part of the Governments Division’s statistical program. · Inclusion of, and updating of references to, specific popular programs that have undergone name title changes. It is important to note that this Classification Manual does not cover every facet of Governments Division's statistical programs. Several programs are excluded from the descriptions because they are conducted for other Federal statistical agencies. If these surveys pertain to state and local government finances or employment, they often follow the basic definitions and classifications described in this Classification manual. However, the choices of statistical categories and definitions used are ultimately decided upon by the sponsoring agency. Other Governments Division programs exist to meet particular administrative or regulatory objectives, such as those conducted to measure or track Federal Government financial activity. Users can consult the Governments Division’s primary web page for information about these programs, or refer to the report “Programs of the Governments Division,” issued periodically.

Data collection efforts expanded during the decennial censuses until the creation of a permanent census office in 1902. Beginning in that year, the Bureau began to conduct special, if sporadic, censuses of governments up until the early 1950's, when the Bureau's authorizing legislation expanded the scope of its efforts in this field and created the quinquennial census of governments and the annual surveys conducted today. During this time, the data classification system has evolved from one focusing on taxable wealth and debt to detailed measurements of government finance activities. Today's schema is largely identical to that put into place during the early 1950's. 2.1 Historical Background on Data Collection Efforts Although the first collection of data on governments occurred during the 1840 Decennial Census (numbers and types of schools and pupils), the first concerted effort began with the 1850 one. This section of the decennial census was expanded successively until the 1880 Census which resulted in a 914-page volume entitled, "Valuation, Taxation, and Public Indebtedness" (which also provided a few statistics on revenue and expenditure). Annual surveys began on a sporadic basis in 1898. The first comprehensive compilation of governmental statistics, however, awaited the creation of a permanent Census Office in 1902. The 1902 Census of Governments led to an extensive volume on

Environmental Taxes and the Double-Dividend Hypothesis: Did You Really Expect Something for Nothing? ABSTRACT The "double-dividend hypothesis" suggests that increased taxes on polluting activities can provide two kinds of benefits. The first dividend is an improvement in the environment, and the second dividend is an improvement in economic efficiency from the use of environmental tax revenues to reduce other taxes such as income taxes that distort labor supply and saving decisions.

Any opinions expressed are those of the author and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER Working Paper #783 October 1981 Seigniorage and Fixed Exchange Rates: An Optimal Inflation Tax Analysis ABSTRACT A country that decides to fix its exchange rate thereby gives up control over its own inflation rate and the determination of the revenue received from seigniorage. If the country goes further and uses a foreign money, it loses all seigniorage. This paper uses an optimal inflation tax approach to analyze the consequences for optimal rates of income taxation and welfare of the alternative exchange rate and monetary arrangements. From the viewpoint of seigniorage, a system in which the country is free to determine its own rates of inflation is optimal; fixed exchange rates are second best, and the use of a foreign money is worse. The paper notes that seigniorageis only one of the factors determining the choice of op- timalexchange rate regime, but also points out that rates of seigniorage collection are high, typically accounting for five or more percent of government revenue.

  • Private Enterprises As Major Source of Government Revenue
    A change of perspective Private enterprises as major source of government revenue How the private sector delivers on SDG 17 This report is a result of DEG’s evaluation work regarding development effectiveness. DEG's monitoring and evaluating team checks at regular intervals whether the transactions it co-finances help to achieve sustainable development successes and points to ways of making further improvements for DEG and its customers. To ensure the independence of evaluation results, external consultants regularly support the work of the team. This study was prepared by DEG: Dr. Clemens Domnick, Dr. Julian Frede, Leoni Kaup, Mirjam Radzat. June 2020 Title picture produced by DEG based on open source data by WorldDataBank DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH Kämmergasse 22 50676 Cologne Phone 0221 4986-0 Fax 0221 4986-1290 [email protected] www.deginvest.de A change of perspective 1 Executive Summary Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG) states that governments and their budgets play a crucial role in reaching the global SDG targets and to boost human development. When discussing government revenue and revenue creation, the role of the private sector is often underestimated. In this context, most discussions focus exclusively on the role of corporate income tax – a tax that is levied on a company’s profits – and often include the negative impact of tax optimizing structures on government revenues in Emerging Markets. While this discussion is important, there exist various other linkages between the private sector and government revenues that are rarely taken into account. This paper discusses how private sector contributes through different linkages to govern- ment revenue.
