This book explores one of the most dynamic and exciting aspects of globalization—international tax competition. With rising mobility and soaring capital flows, individuals and businesses are gaining freedom to work and invest in nations with lower tax rates. That freedom is pressuring governments to cut taxes on income, investment, and wealth. In Global Tax Revolution, Chris Edwards and Daniel Mitchell chronicle tax reforms around the world in recent decades. They describe the dramatic business tax cuts of Ireland, the flight of successful people from high-tax France, and the introduction of simple “flat taxes” in more than two dozen nations. Like other aspects of globalization, tax competition is generating intense political opposition. Numerous governments and international organizations are fighting to restrict tax cuts. Edwards and Mitchell challenge those efforts, arguing that tax competition is helping to advance prosperity, expand human rights, and rein in bloated governments.The authors argue that the U.S. economy can be revitalized by embracing competition and overhauling the federal tax code. They discuss how current tax rules suppress wages and investment and describe the tax changes needed for workers and businesses to succeed in the fast-paced global economy. Rather than idly complaining about jobs and capital moving offshore, this book argues that policymakers need to embrace major tax reforms to ensure rising standards of living for Americans in the years ahead.

Tax evasion is not a victimless crime. Throughout the world, a thriving underground economy threatens to crush compliant and captive taxpayers. It is much bigger than just a few "off-tile-books" transactions and the occasional charging of a personal expense against your business. It touches every corner of our economy and it is growing at a rate at least three times faster than the formal economy. The moral and social implications of activities such as illicit drug trade, money laundering, people smuggling, and tax havens are more than just government issues; they affect every "good" citizen who ends up paying more taxes because others are finding ways to evade their "fail" shine. In everyday language, with liberal use of humor, this book will give you a clear understanding of the problems of the UgEcon, along with an exploration into some of the possible answers to this great economic plague that affects each and every one of us.

Download Starve the Beast Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This observation, largely true but nevertheless unsettling, cost billionaire New York real-estate tycoon Leona Helmsley a 4-year jail term, 90 days of public service, and a $7-million fine for tax fraud. So if the rich don't pay their share of taxes -- and the poor certainly can't pay their share -- who is left? The middle-class taxpayers who are trapped in the system by withholding taxes. Systematic tax avoidance and evasion is flourishing in all business sectors in the world. It is creating an Underground Economy that defies detection and, in most cases, goes unpunished. The reality is that virtually everyone participates in the Underground Economy -- the only difference is to what extent. Hiding income or burying non-business expenses in your business used to be silent sins -- things that you simply did not talk about. Now people chat about these schemes as casually as they do the weather. Tax evaders have come out of their closets and aggressive withholding of taxes is a warning signal to government that they are withdrawing the consent to be governed. Whether you are scrimping to make ends meet, trying to save for retirement, wondering how to shield an upcoming inheritance, or just sick and tired of government waste, this book is an invitation to you to join this New Tax Revolt. Together, we can force governments to be smaller, more efficient and, above all, truly accountable to taxpayers. This book is about understanding why we must starve the beast.

Download Global Tax Fairness Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book addresses sixteen different reform proposals that are urgently needed to correct the fault lines in the international tax system as it exists today, and which deprive both developing and developed countries of critical tax resources. It offers clear and concrete ideas on how the reforms can be achieved and why they are important for a more just and equitable global system to prevail. The key to reducing the tax gap and consequent human rights deficit in poor countries is global financial transparency. Such transparency is essential to curbing illicit financial flows that drain less developed countries of capital and tax revenues, and are an impediment to sustainable development. A major break-through for financial transparency is now within reach. The policy reforms outlined in this book not only advance tax justice but also protect human rights by curtailing illegal activity and making available more resources for development. While the reforms are realistic they require both political and an informed and engaged civil society that can put pressure on governments and policy makers to act.

Download The 1923 Report and the International Tax Revolution Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The centennial of the four economists' Report on Double Taxation (1923) provides a good opportunity to reflect on the extent the international tax regime (ITR) that was founded on the Report has changed in the past decade. While on the surface the changes brought about by the BEPS project seem radical enough to consider them an “international tax revolution”, this article will argue that the principles developed in the Report are still influential a hundred years later.

Download The Permanent Tax Revolt Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Tax cuts are such a pervasive feature of the American political landscape that the political establishment rarely questions them. Since 2001, Congress has abolished the tax on inherited wealth and passed a major income tax cut every year, including two of the three largest income tax cuts in American history despite a long drawn-out war and massive budget deficits. The Permanent Tax Revolt traces the origins of this anti-tax campaign to the 1970s, in particular, to the influence of grassroots tax rebellions as homeowners across the United States rallied to protest their local property taxes. Isaac William Martin advances the provocative new argument that the property tax revolt was not a conservative backlash against big government, but instead a defensive movement for government protection from the market. The tax privilege that the tax rebels were defending was in fact one of the largest government social programs in the postwar era. While the movement to defend homeowners' tax breaks drew much of its inspiration—and many of its early leaders—from the progressive movement for welfare rights, politicians on both sides of the aisle quickly learned that supporting big tax cuts was good politics. In time, American political institutions and the strategic choices made by the protesters ultimately channeled the movement toward the kind of tax relief favored by the political right, with dramatic consequences for American politics today.
