  1. The executive regulation should be robust and comprehensive and provide guidelines for microfinance institutions, NGOs, finance companies and market players to easily comply with the regulatory framework
  2. Reducing the levels of financial illiteracy, which results in some citizens being ignorant of the banking services provided.
  3. Increasing the level of banking awareness for some customers when dealing with official financial institutions.
  4. efficient geographical distribution of banks and ATMs, especially in villages and remote areas.
  5. Reducing the interest rate to encourage citizens to borrow.
  6. Reducing the cost of conducting financial transactions, whether in opening a bank account or dealing with an ATM.
  7. Strengthening promotional efforts related to the financial inclusion policy in order to identify the benefits that will accrue to the citizen and the state in the event of its implementation.
  8. Strengthening the level of customer or citizen confidence in banking services, and here comes the role of financial inclusion in improving and enhancing them.

their research gaps, factors they reserched and findings
Relevant answer
To check for recent authors, research gaps, variables, findings, etc. about the effects of high taxation, you may want to do the following:
1. Choose a number of peer-reviewed research papers related to your high taxation, from Google Scholar, RG, SSRN or similar credible websites, not from non-credible sources.
2. Read these research papers and check for the research gaps from within such research. You may find these gaps under the subtitle: Future Research or similar subtitles.
3. Ensure that such gaps are not already covered by recent research. That is, for the gap that you want to cover, read to the last current research in this regard to make sure that no other author(s) already conducted such research.
4. Then, go ahead and start preparing for your research, preferably using the Literature Review Matrix where you put a table showing authors, title, objectives, research question(s), problem statement, variables, methodologies used, findings, etc. for each research paper selected. By the way, you may want to keep such relevant research papers to use them as references in your research.

What are the differences in taxation of companies and employees vis-à-vis analogous entities in which all employed workers have been replaced by artificial intelligence?
How does the system of taxation of income generated by business entities and their employees differ from analogous companies, businesses, financial institutions, etc., in which all employed workers have been replaced by artificial intelligence?
In a situation where in many service companies and many manufacturing companies, as part of the so-called cost optimisation and profitability improvement, a significant part, the majority of the employed workers or the entire workforce will be replaced by artificial intelligence technology, the tax revenue going to the state budget from income taxes of the previously employed workers and the amounts from para-taxes, contributions to the social security system and others will significantly decrease if the tax system is not applied modified and adapted to the fourth technological revolution currently taking place. In addition, a long-standing process of change in the demographic structure of society, known as ageing, is taking place in developed countries. This means a successive decrease in the number of people in many productive years against people who have already reached retirement age. This will further weaken the state's public finance system in the years to come. If, in the future, the state is to ensure convenient provision of public goods and services for the next generations of citizens, the social security system, the participatory pension system, etc. are to function effectively, the necessary changes, including in the area of fiscal policy, should already be introduced. However, the issue of shaping socio-economic policy, including fiscal policy, social policy, provision of public goods by the state to citizens, etc., may be a problem mainly in the short term (a few months) or medium term (up to a few years) instead of the long term (at least a few decades of time).
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How does the system of taxation of the income generated by economic entities and the employees employed in these entities differ from the analogous companies, enterprises, financial institutions, etc., in which all employed employees have been replaced by artificial intelligence?

Before giving out the answer I would state that it is highly improbable that this scenario comes to pass, if history is any guide. History shows that any offset due to innovation leads to a temporary dislocation of the workforce [1] until the workforce is re-educated[2].
Now for the answer (assuming the improbable)
I would echo Christoff Botha in his statement that it all boils down to "the difference between the respective country's corporate and personal income tax rates". Now since the relationship between the two is not linear I would assume that the initial result would be detrimental to the taxation results. The backlash from unemployment will put pressure on government to establish more assistance programs and raise the taxation rates(In an effort to at least reach equilibrium). Obviously, the wealth/digital divide will widen further as a result.

Is business income tax fair? It seems not at all fair. E.g., having the same amount of 100,000 $ taxable income, both business A with a revenue of 200,000$ (e.g., a gaming developer) and business B with a revenue of 1,000,000$ (e.g., a hotel) have to pay an identical amount of income tax, say 35,000$ if the rate is 35%. Not at all fair for B as a low-profit earner. But why has such an unfair taxation practice been practiced from governments to governments?

Answer
Corporate tax is always a hot debate, including the one in the UK now because no one ever explains why a certain rate is applied.
I indeed developed a new income tax model in which the tax base is the profit rate, instead of the amount of income as globally applied, which is likely proofless. You can view the model here on the ResearchGate:

Question

For a long time, in order to provide justice, it was considered that income tax should be collected over net income. However, companies operating internationally have unfairly reduced their net income by using tax havens. In micro terms, individuals can reduce their net income by using fake bills. This situation causes that net income taxation which applying for justice produces injustice. Because those who declare their earnings honestly pay more taxes than others.
Recently, it is planned to make low-rate taxation on net income in the Digital Service Tax, which is tried to be applied in the EU. Because companies subject to digital service are companies that reduce their net income by using tax havens. The EU rightly considers taxing gross earnings on these companies, because they undeservesly reduces its net income through transfer pricing.
My question is, would it be fairer to tax all income taxes on gross earnings? Because unfair reduction of net income is not only a method applied by international companies. Every taxpayer who does not act honestly wants to unfairly reduce his net income by using fake bills or other methods. Consequently, wouldn't it be more correct for everyone to pay lower tax on their gross earnings?

Green taxation is one of the tools of fiscal policy that works as a double-edged sword, the first of which is to achieve revenue for the state and the second is to reduce environmental pollution
Relevant answer
Answer
I totally agree with Prof. Rybeck's analysis. It is undeniable that a substantial contribution to pollution is made by building and construction (often so-called "development", or should we call them uglifiers!???) operators. Some (including economists and political decision-makers) are not perhaps giving this topic sufficient care and attention. I fully subscribe that the best way towards getting humans to act the way that they should is via their pockets, for which read taxes. There is far too much God-given land and nature which is being taken away from several countries' citizens and this only in the interests of developers and capitalist project promoters. In every country the relationship between built and unbuilt land is going to the worse, and this in a context where decisionmakers are not realising that when nature loses out at the behest of capitalist venturing then, inevitably, it is also us the human species that in either the short term or the longer term will also inevitably follow as losers.

This gave the impression of economic upward movement and vitality.

A burdened mind deprives a person of knowledge, joy and beauty of life, For experiencing these, a youthful mind is required. The body is bound to get old, but the mind can stay young till last.

In the context of policy analysis and designing a feasible carbon taxation policy, most studies have been applying some sort of general equilibrium models. I am not from an economics background and these models seem to be very complicated. Also I don't exactly know what data is needed for such modelling approaches. I was wondering if there are any other types of methods that can substitute general equilibrium models in the process of designing a feasible carbon taxation policy.
I would really appreciate any comments and insights.
Relevant answer
Answer
he literature on optimal carbon pricing often abstracts from other taxes. However, when governments raise revenues with distortionary taxes, carbon levies have fiscal impacts. While they raise revenues directly, they may shrink the bases of other taxes (e.g. by decreasing employment). This article theoretically characterizes and then quantifies optimal carbon taxes in a dynamic general equilibrium climate–economy model with distortionary fiscal policy. First, this article establishes a novel theoretical relationship between the optimal taxation of carbon and of capital income. This link arises because carbon emissions destroy natural capital: they accumulate in the atmosphere and decrease future output. Consequently, this article shows how the standard logic against capital income taxes extends to distortions on environmental capital investments. Second, this article characterizes optimal climate policy in sub-optimal fiscal settings where income taxes are constrained to remain at their observed levels. Third, this article presents a detailed calibration that builds on the seminal DICE approach but adds features essential for a setting with distortionary taxes, such as a differentiation between climate change production impacts (e.g. on agriculture) and direct utility impacts (e.g. on biodiversity existence value). The central quantitative finding is that optimal carbon tax schedules are 8–24% lower when there are distortionary taxes, compared to the setting with lump-sum taxes considered in the literature.

This is a technical question for those who are fairly familiar with the GROUNDED THEORY METHOD (Birks & Mills, 2012; Bryant & Charmaz, 2007; Charmaz, 2006; Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Urquhart, 2013). It is about what to do in the case when the word-limit/impositions on the length of the doctoral thesis do not allow for describing the second phase of theoretical sampling (and the second study) I conducted in the research. The theory which I have developed is substantive (i.e., it is limited to the area and the phenomena studied in the research), however it has two degrees of “substantiveness”. I have to mention here that, initially I did not plan my research to have two phases. I decided two sample a second group of participants while I was analysing the data from the first group.
During the (iterative) steps of data collection and analysis, it became obvious that some of the categories could be further densified or placed on a more solid ground if I sampled a somewhat similar group of participants from whom I planned to collect more focused data to nuance my categories (in fact, two core categories).
I am currently writing up my thesis. Throughout it, I am providing rich description of everything I did step by step in my study. This is for providing credibility and replicability. Because of the rich description I have given, it seems impossible to include the second phase of data collection done for turning my theory into a more substantive proposition/for widening its scope. The theory stands on its own even without this second phase but it is weaker.
What would be a good strategy to mention this second phase of data collection/second study (as it can stand on its own, too). How should I mention this in the body of the thesis? That the theory/categories have been taken further for widening their scope?

Answer
Dear Mr Zango,
I am very grateful for your comments and pieces of advice you gave. I have to apologize for getting back to you with this delay. The reason is that I needed some time to decide on how to adjust my research study to the thesis requirements. The institutional requirement related to the length of the thesis, here in Hungary, is cca. 80, 000 words +/- 10%. My work has been done in a qualitative paradigm, I used the grounded theory method throughout the process. I provided rich descriptions of everything I have done in term of research tool development, purposive sampling, the site of research, data collection, data analysis (coding), member check, and theory development. This is mostly why, i.e.because of the rich description, I had a hard time deciding on what to leave out. I conducted the research at three sites, and the theory I developed got more substance at the third site/third group of participants. In the end, I left this third part of the research out from the thesis and I ended on a "to-be-continued" tone. Meaning that I included this third part in the research-to-be-done section. Even performing this forced cut, my thesis came out cca. 100,000 words. So, probably I will have to still discard things from it (probably, it will be from the literature review). Anyhow, now when Ii am writing these lines I have finished the writing up phase, which took 10 months :-) Best regards, and let's keep in touch: Emese

  1. Digital Economy and Permanent Establishment (consider that Peru has recently entered into OECD Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters).
  2. The relationship between the taxpayer and the Tax Administration (SUNAT), since the recent incrementation that SUNAT has had from the collection of ISC (as a monofasic tax on the producer level), IT and many more because of its control actions (fiscalización).
  3. Something related to economics and tax law. This is kind of blank for me, because I haven't done a huge research, but seems interesting and could connect with number 2.

Is health in Kenya adequately financed? Relatedly, is there a need for additional sources of revenue to fund health? The limited resources that are available to the Kenyan government are prioritised in the budget that earmarks how much is to be allocated to each public sector. Regrettably, health financing has been on a reducing scale and the government is considering ways to broaden its revenue base for financing health. I want to pick up on the argument of limited resources and posit Islamic taxation as an alternative source of revenue potentially available to the Kenyan government for financing health. Scholars have considered the argument of limited resources from the lens of prioritisation – that is the need to make the best possible use of these limited resources to continually improve the well-being of society and increase the revenue in the long term. Other scholars have posited that the argument on limited resources is to be examined by inquiring into different ways by which the resource base can be increased. Among the latter scholars, many suggest an examination of the tax policy of a state to increase taxation. Tax increments place a higher burden on the poor and middle-income earners, and is therefore not a persuasive approach to broadening the tax base. If the discourse on limited resources is to be analysed further from the scholarship on broadening the tax base then isnt it important to also address it from a different discipline, Islamic taxation?

Recent adjustments in some of the trade relations, such as the decisions of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and the United States to renegotiate and re-evaluate their main trade agreements in force have caused concern about the possible escalation of barriers and disputes. commercial. The imposition of tariffs and trade barriers as well as disputes over certain products could be intensified if other countries respond with reprisals.
Do you think that an increasingly restrictive environment in terms of international trade could reduce the growth prospects in the medium term, due to the interdependence that exists between trade, investment and productivity growth?
Relevant answer
Answer
In my view the restrictive environment in trade relations would have a short term effect but in the medium and long term restrictions would be bypassed by those countries still willing to engage more in the globalized economy. The restricting nations would suffer the most.

The theory of optimal taxation is often based on the neoclassical standard model of the labor market. That model includes the assumption that a household can choose freely how much to work and how much to enjoy leisure time. In such a framework, households derive utility from consumption c and leisure time z: u(c,z), where total time T is divided between labor l and leisure z, i.e. T = l + z. The time spent on labor is remunerated at wage w, so that households have an income y = wl that they can then consume.
In reality, however, households do not have the freedom of that continuous labor-leisure choice. It's rather the binary choice to accept a job or not. Moreover, for example, the neoclassical model predicts that a minimum wage causes unemployment. We do not observe this in reality.
Given the shortcomings of the neoclassical model of the labor market, how useful is it for a) advancing economic theory on optimal taxation and b) informing policy making? Is there a better alternative?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Max,
Taxes are not only on wage income, wL, but on other income such as capital income as well, say I. So your budget constraint should include the I term as well to read:
Y = WL + I.
So, tax effect should be written as Y = (wL +I)(1-t)
According A. Atkinson and J. Stiglitz, book, “Lecture on Public Economics.” Princeton, 2015, the choice is wider than between just leisure and work, to include “market versus home production,…taxed versus untaxed pecuniary returns.” (p. 47) From the broader views, income and substitution effect come into play, and any prediction of tax impact is ambiguous. One then has to resort to empirical evidence to find out the impact.
The classical alternative model provided by Adam Smith is based on perfect competition. One labor economic text states it this way: “…labor market participants in search of their own selfish goals attain an outcome that no one in the market consciously sought to achieve.” (George Borjas, “Labor Economics, 3rd Edition, McGraw Hill, 2005, p. 163)

Can you suggest any article studying administration issues or difficulties of joint taxation of personal income?
Any help is appreciated.
Relevant answer
Answer
You might consider looking at the joint taxation in the U.S., where it is an option. Two issues come to mind: 1) where a taxpayer filing jointly wishes to later file separately (often because they find information indicating that their spouse cannot be trusted and they are otherwise liable for the untrusted spouse's taxes), and 2) the legal history as to why Wisconsin became a "community property' State. The second issues ties to the marginal taxes paid in a progressive system when the second spouse works. In the U.S., community v. non-community property interacts with decisions to file jointly v. separately, I think.

I'm wondering about the aw, actors and role of central/state government underneath zoning policy in India.
I would like to know which are the policies that regulate Zoning and urban planning, and what concretely happen.
This is what I have read so far, but I 'm still confused about taxes and fiscal regulation between Central and state level, which is relevant to understand the acquisition and distribution of land for urban planning.
--> The ‘master plan model’, covering a horizon of about twenty years, presents detailed view of the built-up form of an Indian city in its new-born urbanized country. Usually, plan implementation envisages the tool of legal protection to the plan, zoning, sub-division and building regulations, capital budgeting, infrastructure development, and urban renewal. Other instruments include taxation policy, particularly land and property taxation, land assembly, and capacity building. (Ahluwalia, 2014)
The master planning model, however, ignores the dimensions of city and regional economic growth. Land use planning and transportation planning have been pursued as separate processes in India, besides, the Master plans of cities haven’t been synchronized with their income distribution structure. There is need of strategic focused inclusionary urban planning and a need to stop informality at all levels and sectorsotherwise the urban population will continue to be deprived of ‘legal space’. (Mohanty, 2014 & Mishra, 2017)
Master plans, in the past, have not been rooted enough in regional planning,the inclusion of this government level will be occurred only with a grounded model of urban planning (Mohanty, pp85, 2014 & Mishra, pp193, 2017). According to Prasanna K. Mohanty (pp 5; 107-108, 2014) with “a rigid ‘plan-led’ model of development, these plans will adopt detailed zoning of land use and public acquisition of land, as key instruments for planned urbanization.
The most important feature of all development plans dealing withthe implementation of the spatial plan are land use zoning, aimed at controlling the classification and at intensifying the land use. It also aimed at regulating development through planning permission.
Zoning is advocated to promote housing and local economic development. There is also a Committee on Urban Land Policy (1965), Ministry of Health, that identify the key issues of urban policies. (Mohanty, 2014)
Zoning regulation provide norms for conforming and non-conforming land uses, densities, infrastructures.Housing, including light and ventilation fire safety requirement, etc. Zoning regulation are supplemented by (1) sub-division regulations, prescribing street layouts, lot sizes, land allocation for public use, taxes and fees for infrastructure and civic services, etc. and (2) building codes, setting standards of construction. The objective of zoning is “to balance residential, commercial, institutional, and other land uses, correct for externalities due to factors like pollution, congestion, noise and indiscriminate conversion of agricultural land to urban use, and to provide for infrastructures facility”. (Mohanty. P (2014) pp76-78)
In fact, land use zoning in India is Euclideanbased, it means that it creates land use classifications (i.e. residential, multi-family, commercial) by geographic area, but instead of keeping those uses separate, land use in Indian cities typically builds off of the uses in one zone to create a more integrated approach.
Planning typically is done by the state, not the city, and only looks at main arterials, which results in streets like the above.  The smaller streets and the connections within an area are often missing. So while land use zoning fosters all facilities within walking distance, the connections to make that happen – the micro street grid – are missing, especially in new area as in Greater Noida, that we will illustrate later. (Jenkins, R. Kennedy, L., Mukhopadhayay, 2014)
Apparently, as United Kingdom did, there is a need for India to move towards decentralized and strategic urban planning.(Ahluwalia, 2014) The urban planning process must be responsive to current evolving demands. The planning system must also be dynamic to respond to the demands of structural and geographic transformation. (Jenkins, R. Kennedy, L., Mukhopadhayay, 2014) Policy-makers should consider urban planning development as “a ‘process of value creation’ through the market, giving ample scope for value captyre and recycling to promote inclusive urbanisation”.(Mohanty P., Mishra A.K, pp194; 213,2017)
As far as I know, there is also typically the problem of Land dispossession:
--> Today, there is a displacement from land: the land distribution is forced by the government for ‘public purpose’ through the Land Acquisition Act of 1894. There is need of land reform, especially a demand of policy for the fiscal regularization focused on fragmentation rather on dispossession: surplus land should be distributed due to demographic reasons. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act,2013 tried to address these issues. However, the issue has been re-opened by the PM Narendra Modi.(Chandrasekhar,C.P, 2017)
In this context of profound restructuring of the socio-economic order, India has chosen to accelerate industrial development by introducing the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) experiment among Indian states. (Jenkins, R. Kennedy, L., Mukhopadhayay, 2014) We will not develop the SEZ policy here, we are just remembering that SEZ represent a stylized microcosm of the spatial and temporal inequalities that have always taken place in India ‘s industrialization. SEZs is today one of the most controversial reform measures in India that accurately performed the “accumulation by dispossession” that was supposed to rationalized India. (Levien, M. (2012) in Chandrasekhar, C.P. 2017)
Relevant answer
Answer
You have enough reference to understand planning for cities. I would try to answer some of your observations.
The approach to land use allocation is centered around procurement of land for public purposes (roads, parks, utilities etc). At master plan level land is acquired (which is practiced in majority of state. Whereas in state like Gujarat we also follow land pooling mechanism (a area plan) in addition to development plan (which is land use, regulations and specific projects) for the cities.
The area plan where land is either acquired (through new act) or purchased through agreement as per market rate or pooled (known as town planning scheme with up to 40 percent share of land for public purpose).
Yes, there is no larger regional plan available for majority of cities except the national capital region or state capital plans.
The role of central and state government under the fiscal understanding is in collection of Goods and services taxes (GST since 2017) and distribution as per agreed share. The state government in case of local plans is final approval body, the plan has to be prepared and submitted by local body or development authorities. The central govt. do not approve the master plan or development, whereas central govt. have their own schemes where they fund up to 70 to 90 percent of fund for the state projects. The state needs to submit the urban projects (earlier to be submitted by respective local bodies including Municipal Corporations or Municipality to state) as in case of current 'Smart Cities' project in India. The proposals in such case is invited by central govt. and sanctioned to transfer the fund to state or Urban Local Body (ULB) directly.
Many infrastructure projects which are concerned only with ULB and state govt. use their own fund. The devolution of funds are subject to audit at all levels by central or state auditors. In India recent development or proposals for SIR, SEZ (Special Investment Region or Special Economic Zones) or port led development is outcome of central govt. policies and programs. The central ministry in agreement with state govt. proceeds to implement the projects of National scale. The state govt. has responsibility of linking the state projects with national project as in case of SEZ's or high speed corridors.
Land dispossession is national concern in areas where large scale project (transportation or otherwise) impact large areas or population. The current law have address the issue properly however due to exceptions granted for certain project, the problem is escalating in recent past. In urban areas these are lesser only since scale of project is smaller, however, the removal of slums or poor households are concern for some. Tenure rights issue is still under discussion, and policies are framed to minimize the losses.
Anyway....go ahead for your quest.

I am not all that comfortable with these approach since fiscal policy has to with delibrate action of government to influence the economy towards a given direction. Government might decide to spend big or cuts tax, leading to deficit, they may also plan to spend small or raises tax, indicating a surplus. I used dummy variable to separate these two fiscal plans by the government and used their effects to capture the fiscal policy impact on growth. My problem now is how to specify my ARDL models using these dummy variable to capture the fiscal policy?

If Milton is right, does government uses inflation? why? what way? and above it all, does he do it even knowing that inflation is the worst effect and the most difficult problem that the population would need to face?
Relevant answer
Answer
  1. Discuss the government’s role in managing the economy.
In every country, the government takes steps to help the economy achieve the goals of growth, full employment, and price stability. In the United States, the government influences economic activity through two approaches: monetary policy and fiscal policy. Through monetary policy, the government exerts its power to regulate the money supply and level of interest rates. Through fiscal policy, it uses its power to tax and to spend.
Monetary Policy
Monetary policy is exercised by the Federal Reserve System (“the Fed”), which is empowered to take various actions that decrease or increase the money supply and raise or lower short-term interest rates, making it harder or easier to borrow money. When the Fed believes that inflation is a problem, it will use contractionary policy to decrease the money supply and raise interest rates. When rates are higher, borrowers have to pay more for the money they borrow, and banks are more selective in making loans. Because money is “tighter”—more expensive to borrow—demand for goods and services will go down, and so will prices. In any case, that’s the theory.
Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policy relies on the government’s powers of spending and taxation. Both taxation and government spending can be used to reduce or increase the total supply of money in the economy—the total amount, in other words, that businesses and consumers have to spend. When the country is in a recession, the appropriate policy is to increase spending, reduce taxes, or both. Such expansionary actions will put more money in the hands of businesses and consumers, encouraging businesses to expand and consumers to buy more goods and services. When the economy is experiencing inflation, the opposite policy is adopted: the government will decrease spending or increase taxes, or both. Because such contractionary measures reduce spending by businesses and consumers, prices come down and inflation eases.
The National Debt
If, in any given year, the government takes in more money (through taxes) than it spends on goods and services (for things such as defense, transportation, and social services), the result is a budget surplus.
Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
In the preceding discussion, we’ve touched on two main areas in the field of economics: (1) macroeconomics, or the study of the economy as a whole, and (2) microeconomics, or the study of the economic choices made by individual consumers or businesses. Macroeconomics examines the economy-wide effect of inflation, while microeconomics considers such decisions as the price you’re willing to pay to go to college. Macroeconomics investigates overall trends in imports and exports, while microeconomics explains the price that teenagers are willing to pay for concert tickets.
Methods to Control Inflation
Inflation is generally controlled by the Central Bank and/or the government. The main policy tools to control inflation include:
  1. Monetary policy – Setting interest rates. Higher interest rates reduce demand, leading to lower economic growth and lower inflation
  2. Control of money supply – Monetarists argue there is a close link between the money supply and inflation, therefore controlling money supply can control inflation.
  3. Supply side policies – policies to increase competitiveness and efficiency of the economy, putting downward pressure on long-term costs.
  4. Fiscal policy – a higher rate of income tax could reduce spending and inflationary pressures.
  5. Wage controls. Trying to control wages could, in theory, help to reduce inflationary pressures. However, apart from the 1970s, rarely used.

My hypothesis is that right-wing parties (I am from Italy so I have in mind my country) are more inclined to support SMEs because historically these parties defend private properties and bourgeois class and due to the neo-liberal ideology they should be in favour of a reduction of taxation which, theoretically, must be a benefit for SMEs.
On the contrary, high rate of big companies means a huge part of population is working class therefore major support to left-wing.

if SME's influence political affiliation/ right wing support, it is through another factor/ variable, and not directly. this is an important consideration

Thanks a lot for your attention and answers. Good luck in your scientific studies.
Relevant answer
Answer
I might have  a bit of a different viewpoint, so I'll attempt to describe the inflation tax from where I sit. The inflation tax is anything that is diminished as a result of a country running an inflation. The foremost example is that the purchasing power of money is diminished. The appreciation of assets may be taxed through a capital gains tax. To the extent that those gains are just nominal, then this is a type of inflation tax. In this connection, estate taxation may be largely an inflation tax. Some taxes may be levied but not collected. For example, an unanticipated inflation is a tax on creditors and wage earners. The tax proceeds in this case go to debtors and employers, respectively. The manipulation of interest rates by monetary authorities may be an inflation tax as it can be an attack on bondholder . . . especially the elderly. I'll bet that this does not exhaust all the examples that readers can come up with. For example, we can see from a previous answer that a income tax law that is specified in nominal terms can be used to drive people into higher brackets as the result of an inflation; this is just one more example.
Each and every one of these examples has a foundation in law. Let us take the foremost example: national currencies. Suppose someone were to propose a new currency that is designed specifically to eliminate inflation. It is actually not very difficult to produce such an instrument. My bet is that there are legal impediments to doing this everywhere. In the USA, for example, if you tried to produce such a competitive currency, it would be taxed out of existence, because the nominal gains that would be needed to protect against inflationary losses would be taxed as if this were an investment.
So one can address these issues from various perspectives. What are the sociological and/or psychological reasons for taxing nominal income? Moving to a real income tax requires some additional technology: a price index through which all nominal income streams are adjusted. But that can't be the whole reason. I suspect the taxation of nominal income benefits the legislating class. They get to erect barriers that create problems for their constituents on an ongoing basis, while it appears as if the legislators have done nothing harmful. This requires their constituents to constantly lobby the lawmakers for relief. Of course, relief requires donations to the lawmakers so that they can run for reelection. There are also speaking fees . . .

While looking towards the benefits one major concern is also there as how the manufacturing states will recover their losses when they are going to loose a good sum of revenue. Central government support is there for a certain period but other ways has to explored to cover this gap of revenue for future.

China takes lead of the world in direct use of geothermal heat. Its growing speed is still  far behind that of solar and wind power. It is neccessary to deploy more effective policies for geothermal energy development in China, as well other countries interested in renewables.
Relevant answer
Answer
China does not have a tax expenditure budget; it almost did - a Deputy Minister pushed hard for it last decade but moved on before he could see it implemented.  In jurisdictions that have tax expenditure budgets, tax concessions (lower rates), etc. are treated as the equivalent of direct expenditures handed out through the tax system.  Experience has shown that almost without fail they are less efficient than other direct expenditures or subsidies and that these are less effective than using regulation so the market can deliver the desired energy policy more efficiently.  Using tax concessions costs tax revenue that could be used for desirable social and economic programs and inevitably gives rise to recharacterization schemes, etc. devised by tax advisors to exploit the tax concession.  It's hard to imagine why you'd want to hand over cash, directly or via tax expenditures when you can achieve a better result at lower cost through direct regulation.  Unless, of course, the goal is to enrich tax advisors.

I want to compare GDP with Tax rate and I am unable to find historical tax rates of Pakistan.
Relevant answer
Answer
As suggested by Satrio, you may be able to find semi-reliable ways to calculate historic tax rates from other historical financial information, such as financial statements.  I am not sure if you have them in Pakistan, but UK, US and Australia do have publicly available detailed financial reports for nearly all listed companies with detailed tax notes to the accounts from which it would be possible to obtain historic income tax, and goods and service tax rates.  If that suits the purpose of your research you could then explain how you obtained the estimation data as part of your write-up.

Dear colleagues,
I am almost finished writing an article about Chinese sellers on Amazon.de or other European Amazons and the VAT issue.
I would kindly ask you to give me your opinions if you spot faults in my argumentation since the issue seems to be so clear and yet so difficult to verify.
According to Amazon: approximately 2 million external sellers use the platform of Amazon whereas sellers from Hong Kong and China have been growing 65% per year. Overall 40% of the total business of Amazon is done by third-party seller.
A Chinese seller (BestWe is one typical seller example) presents his products on Amazon.de and the webpage of Amazon.de says VAT included (MWSt. inkl.). The impressum of the Chinese seller does not show a European VAT identification number (although he could apply for one via MOSS).
So the customer buys from a Chinese seller on Amazon.de assuming that VAT is included (and declared). Nevertheless Amazon informs that Amazon only withholds VAT for their commission portion according to EU directive 1042/2013 and the rest is paid out to the Chinese seller.
In Europe, according to EU Directive 112/2006 for B2C product sales VAT shall always be declared in the country of the seller.
Letter shipment from Hong Kong to Europe is €1-2 for products like smartphone covers. Wholesale price in Hong Kong is way lower than €1 and sales price on Amazon €6-8
The Chinese seller has three options to deliver to the German buyer
1) Value incl. shipping less than €22 and shipped from China
Customs does not stop the shipping (for administrative reasons of low value) and the seller should declare VAT directly to the tax office on his own. It is free of import VAT but this does not mean it is free of VAT. And on Amazon it is shown with VAT so it has to be declared.
2) Value above €22 and shipped from China
Customs stops the shipping and either the buyer pays import VAT or it is returned or destroyed. A contradiction because the buyer has paid VAT according to Amazon already, the seller has received the whole value and has to declare VAT. And how then does the buyer get his original money back if he does not pay VAT to customs?
3) Seller uses FBA-Service (Forward by Amazon meaning that the seller stocks large quantities of a product at Amazon and it is then shipped from inside the European Union warehouses)
The seller pays import VAT on e.g. 1.000 smartphone covers but since they have not been sold, he declares import VAT on wholesale price and not end price. E.g. €1 value per cover instead of €8. When he then sells, the VAT on the €7 sales price difference has to be declared by the seller at that stage.
So what I see is a massive tax fraud for lower price products. In Europe every chewing gum sold carries VAT but here it seems to vanish somehow.
The question is now also how Amazon comes into this. One could claim that Amazon is somehow assisting tax fraud. Another arguement could be that Amazon is in violation of the European Union Directive 31/2000. It protects portal providers in Article 14 by defining that providers are not responsible for the content they host as long as they are not informed of its illegal character, and they act promptly to withdraw access to the material when informed of it. The obligation to react (in Germany within 24h) has been confirmed in a multitude of court cases. Therefore although Amazon is not responsible for the content created on their websites, they are responsible for the displayed information over time if they do not stop it. And this carries large financial penalties.
By the way, I have made test purchases for all three cases and in each case I was rejected an invoice showing the VAT - which I paid according to Amazon.de
Looking forward to your comments and guidance.

House price inflation in the UK and elsewhere has created the impression of increased real wealth for the "haves", whist making the prospect of owning a home increasingly un-realistic for the "have nots" - a whole future generation stranded by increasing inequality
This un-earned wealth is not currently subject to taxation, as income is, nor any other form of appropriation by the state; but if it were to be, what figure might we suggest could be available, for the consequent reduction in income or sales taxes (eg: VAT), or the national debt?

Hi Robin. I think the first element, which is  a calculation of net housing wealth, can be derived from the BHPS. The basic form is value of house minus outstanding mortgage. I have seen it (net housing wealth) used in aggregate time series work (particularly on self-employment) too so it may be able to be derived from ONS data too. The obvious advantage of the individual (BHPS) approach is that you could then track people in income (wealth) deciles from a start point (which is 1991). The second bit would require a time-series trend of house prices (maybe split into quartiles) and income. The ratio between the income of the lowest decile of income and the lowest decile of house prices would get you somewhere close to where you want to be. Alternatively, you could look at housing status (owner, renter etc) by income decile on the assumption that the poorest would have to rent as they couldn't raise a mortgage. Or a simple calculation of 3.5 times household income (or 2.5 times single income) which used to be the mortgage lenders decision rule. Then this gives you the maximum mortgage which you can compare against house prices. Hope this gives you some food for thought? Cheers, Marc

Related to a research project, I would like to use a regional econometric input-output (EC+IO) model in order to value economic impacts coming from the implementation of offshore wind project in Brittany (Brittany is a French region). A standard input-output model values only the gross effects (in production and employment for instance), but not the net effect explained by the reduction in household consumption coming from the increase in taxation required to finance the offshore wind project. A regional EC+IO model enables to overcome this limit inherent to the standard input-output model.
I know that there are different types of EC+IO models (see for instance the article of Rey 1998 published in International Regional Science Review). But, there may be a book explaining and summarizing the different techniques required to implement a EC+IO model (for instance econometric techniques specific for regional models, …).

All Natural resources are "Free" before we start to make any use of them, and we need to place a value on them by the damage by their use they cause to itself and the rest of the environment, including man.
At present no-one is held directly responsible for any damage caused , who pays the price of oil spills? air pollution , noise pollution, mono cropping etc causing ecocide of all the micro and macro-flora of the soil and local habitat? The consumer is the one who demands this damage to occur by the price they are prepared to pay .
I believe we all should pay for the damage caused to the environment directly through the goods and services we all use and consume.
Existing means of green taxes and taxes on pollution and damage, are often at cross purposes with economic growth of economies around the globe and with the associated subsidies and grants that distort so many values of the resource we all rely on.

Specify the additional tax that may arise from failure to comply with those rules.
Doing a study on value added taxation.
Relevant answer
Answer
It depends on the specific country’s legal regulation. Eg. VAT in Kosovo is regulated almost identically with the EU directives on VAT).
Obligation for VAT arises when these situations occur:
1. When goods are invoiced (although goods/services are not paid, nor accepted)
2. When payment is made (although goods/services are not billed, nor accepted)
3. Where goods are accepted (goods / services are not paid, nor billed).
In either of these three cases, there is an obligation for VAT.
Tax period for VAT, is a monthly period
It is worth mentioning that VAT paid by the final consumer.
Companies only play the role of intermediary between the consumer and the government. The VAT is collected from consumers and delivered to the government.
Varying by country there are some VAT exempted products, as well as some taxed with difference tax rates, eg: Great Britain has three VAT rates: 0 percent for essential goods; 5% utilities; and a standard rate of 20% for other products.

Someone mentioned to me that Uruguay has land use legislation that takes into account the capability of soils to render certain services. Apparently, this legislation places restrictions on what can be done with prime agricultural land, for example. At the core of this legislation is a very innovative, older piece of legislation that links property taxes to the potential of soils, not to their use.
I am wondering if similar land use legislations exist in other countries. I have heard that Denmark has something along the same lines. Are these the only two countries that have done something in this area?
It would be nice to document such legislations in detail, to encourage other countries to follow suit... So if you have documents that relate to soil-protective legislations in other countries, feel free to send them to me . Thanks!!!
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Philippe,
In France like in most countries national law requires to protect land use for environmental reasons but do not take into account agricultural values.  At the next level, making land use plans is a competence of local governments.
Poland has restrictions related to the agricultural value of soils, aiming to avoid the consumption of high quality soils for urbanization.  A good specialist is Anna Bielska, university of technology Warsaw: a.bielska@gik.pw.edu.pl

I am looking for research articles or any write-ups on the subject of ‘Effectiveness of Carbon Emission Surtax in Mitigating Climate Change’ to help better shape my research proposal on this subject matter.
Relevant answer
Answer
The addition of a surtax to traffic fuels is just one of many means for governments to tax  people. If the tax is sufficiently high it may lower the consumption of automotive fuels and hence maybe improve the quality of air in congested urban areas, and thus have a positive effect on general health conditions.
However, its biggest effect will be in impoverishing many citizens who rely on affordable fuel in their everyday life.  Regarding global climate this will have no or negligible affect, because an increase in emissions of carbon dioxide, will not have any appreciable effect on either regional nor global climate. CO2 is NOT the main climate driver - the SUN is!
